raven odette :) i like to headcanon that as a Nightingale and an agent of nocturnal, she’s granted the ability to turn into a raven. mainly because actual nightingales are just like….regular ass birds. and nocturnal is covered in ravens. that’s all the justification i have tbh i just wanted her to be a raven

More doods!!! @bforblitz suggested my OC Dori and Imago flirting with Nokvroz (a thought which immediately possessed me), @ego-osbourne said they didn’t know what bc they were mostly rotating their own guys in their head so I borrowed their OC Rakell for a live Nokvroz reaction, and @salad-sauce requested battlespire dudes and I really like their Moath. And then Rynkyus 🫶

Somewhat Important Update regarding my Skyrim content going forward:

Ego will now be referred to as Echo

I’ve been contemplating the decision of changing Ego’s name for a while. In short, I wanted to further differentiate their name from my name, Ego Osbourne. If you want to know more of the reasoning behind this decision, I’ll leave it under the :readmore:

It’s not very well known on this blog (I don’t think), but Ego used to be an ocsona for TES. Before I came up with any sort of fic ideas, and before I was even that into the Elder Scrolls at all, I had Ego as my player character that I would eventually make comics and doodles with.

The ocsona part came into play particularly with their name (Ego being their name and Ego Osbourne being the name of my sona, obviously), and also with their skeleton (Ego has a golden skeleton, which was a direct tie-in to my sona being a golden skeleton). The original lore was that Skeleton Ego could hop into any universe they wanted with a blank slate and make a new ocsona as they saw fit. This happened with Skyrim, hence how Ego was created.

That lore has not been canon for a while. Nowadays, my sona doesn’t have any particular lore, and I’ve been passively backpedaling on that idea for a few years at this point. My sona is now just a fantastical representation of me, full stop, and is referred to by Ozzy, since that’s how I’m referred to in most social spaces online. However, I understand not many people would know that from a cursory glance at all my account names being “Ego Osbourne,” and thus would default to calling me “Ego.”

Ego themself has had a big lore change too, and is now a full-fledged oc contained in the world of TES, NOT an ocsona. Ego and my sona are completely separate entities, but that’s understandably hard to tell when comparing the two. I suffer from a little condition called “I really like purple and gold” and couldn’t bear to part either Ego or my sona from their purple and gold themes.

However, I’m learning to bite the bullet and have decided to axe a few things accordingly. I’m leaving Ego with their golden skeleton and purple accents for storytelling purposes, as their lore remaining in tact is more important than my sona’s aesthetic. I’m slowly working on ideas for a sona redesign anyhow, and hopefully that will help differentiate between them and Ego.

And yet, I know that no amount of recoloring I do could remedy the issue that is their names. Like I already said, though I go by “Ozzy,” my official internet handle is and always will be Ego Osbourne, so I can’t really do much to change that. And even though “Ego” has been the name of my TES oc for so long, I don’t think there’s enough support in their own story to warrant them having the name “Ego,” and it’d be best if I finally just changed it.

So, Ego will now be adopting the name Echo (thank you to @bforblitz for the name! and for convincing me of its narrative potential). It doesn’t stray too far from “Ego” both spelled and spoken, it’s just as non-binary feeling of a name as Ego is, and I could more easily tie it into them as a character (as Last Dragonborn, they’re an “echo” of the First Dragonborn, for example).

This isn’t a timed story beat, consider this a full retcon. I’m going to… try to add the #echo tag to all of my old Ego content on my blog, but I will not be removing the #ego tag in anything before this post. However, I will not be adding the #ego tag to anything going forward, at least when regarding the TES oc. I’ll also be fixing any ship tags with Ego (#ego x [character]) accordingly.

So, that’s the long and short of it. Thanks for the read, I hope it’s not too jarring of a change going forward. I am going to be the last person to get used to it, trust me TwT

Miraak (Revamp)

I have finally gotten to Miraak’s full revamped design for the party lineup <:] Delphine is next and last!!!

[ego-osbourne]

*rattles cup and wearing Groucho glasses* spare malborn content? spare content for a poor person you definitely don’t know?

Hello Definite Stranger, here’s a Malborn for you <:]

He shows up briefly in The Dez Illusion during the party’s time in Solitude, both for the Thalmor Embassy and the Bards College quests. For this I have headcanoned him as a bard, and he has a few more background ties than what the game gives him. Sorry for going so off course with his design, especially his outfit //dies

[ego-osbourne]

can we get uhhhhhh. Sweetheart with a hot dog. They deserve a nice snack

And so he has been given a hot dog <3

[ego-osbourne]

baurus oiled up 🤤

I had a lot of fun with this :]

[ego-osbourne]

Now wait that’s funny

Feel free to say why in the tags!

[ego-osbourne]

Got tagged by @ego-osbourne for WIP whenever! Most of my tes related ones are. Spicy. So instead I’ll share a sketch I did ft. Ozzy’s oc Ego and dialogue from jojo’s bizarre adventure

I tag @ashyam-xivilai @scalecallerpeak @bforblitz and @mellowscrolls !

Gave him his wizard hat

Ancano (Revamp)

Hi it’s me doing more revamps bc they’re my favorite <33

TO NOTE: I already spoke about this some in my last pencil doodle of him, but I have him a different hairstyle to match his in-game model a little better. Traded his cane for a staff for optimization primarily (using it both as a weapon and a mobility aid). He keeps his leg brace ofc, but it’s a pretty silver now, as well as the rest of the metal accents on his person (I read that Altmer culture really loves using silver). His outfit is heavily inspired by this mod, ty good friend @liches-covered-in-lich for recommending it to me <3

The remastered version

Fun fact about the og, it was the first time i had ever drawn Mankar, so i had no design for him and just drew him based off of how he looked in the game 💀 The old one is lowkey crusty asf (i drew it on my phone) but its under the cut LMAO

[ego-osbourne]

SAMMY IS DONE

had a lot of fun coloring the folds and giving him a bit of a drunk blush. artemisia buy this guy another round!!!!!! u won't regret it girl

progress pics below the cut :)

i wonder if he bakes. i can see sweets as falling under his sphere of indulgence.

[ego-osbourne]

things are heating up in the mehrunes family!!!

it’s a common joke I make that Sera brings Martin over for dinner one night and her entire family is just GLARING at him the whole time. they ALL want to kill him sooooo badly but Dagon forbids it because it’d make Sera, who is oblivious to all of this, cry.

(thank you @ego-osbourne for making this very stupid doodle for me)

WIP Wednesday/Whenever

Thank you very much @babyblueetbaemonster for the tag ^w^

I’ll poke @liches-covered-in-lich @frogotart @saltymaplesyrup @kiir-do-faal-rahhe @jaypilledsquared @salad-sauce @gergoats-gogurt for anything o/ no pressure ofc

I’m currently working on commissions and battling art block simultaneously so my collection is a bit barren, but here’s some things from before :]

Mankar and Iren both as a little character loredrop and an attempt at new outfits. I am still not completely convinced about how much I like Mankar’s robes orz

And the skeleton (…ha) of a slight sona rework. I gave up when I realized I had to figure out how to draw a ribcage lmao
