5 of 7. Dagoth Uthol

Dagoth Uthol - The Ruler of Kogoruhn, called "Aphotic Contriver" and "Ash Marshal". Martial arts, tactics, and strategy are his primary focus. Teacher of venom blooded lessons, he made diamoncut warriors forged for conquest, but not changing, only improving their form and skills. Impeccable in conduct and mindful of ceremony. His deeds prove that the Dunmer are perfect and do not need miracles to gain power, only conditions and the appropriate attitude. He was true heir of the House, but died early and as sign of respect, was trusted to rule Kogoruhn as it supposed to be in the beginning. inspired by @ijiwaruuma ash vampires design and this topic in particular Uthol Vemyn Tureynul Araynys Odros

Have some Zurin doing mundane Zurin things ✨

Character design is (mostly) by me

But the art itself and all the magic is by my dearest friend on Bluesky

[ijiwaruuma]

So, yeah, about my abscence. There's two reasons why:

1. My mental health and life situation — sadly, I can do nothing about it in a foreseeable future

2. Tumblr culture?? — I can do something, but I have to ask you first

Before I created this blog, I was sharing my art on a different website. I mean, on a VERY DIFFERENT website. Where likes had meaning and reblogs were frowned upon.

But I see how people communicate here, sometimes treating the blog space like a group chat or something. It's very sweet but can I do the same? I think, I'm too insecure for it right now... and yet I really want to reciprocate and engage with the community in it's comfortable way.

So, I want to make some changes for the people interacting with me and that's why I ask them (you?):

1. Should I just become more open on this blog? I don't think I'll be reblogging and posting other stuff that frequently, but this account will definitely stop being just a gallery...

2. Should I make another blog for interactions and everything else? Since I'm not sure people will follow an account that only reblogs stuff, I'll be posting my art there as well to make sharing other's posts more meaningful. This one will still serve as a gallery, but for the art I'm particularly proud about?

3. Change nothing. Leave likes, do crime. Maybe I'm just overthinking everything, I don't know.

The poll isn't really important, I'd like to see the opinions of people I know are interested.

Thanks in advance!

just wanted to apologise for you probably getting spammed by my notifications q.q couldnt help myself, i heart what i like, and damn do i like your art (thats not a question), good day/night! :) (and sorry again heh..)

DO NOT apologise for this, I always appreciate being spammed with likes. It means a lot since I'm very self-conscious and has considered deleting at least half of what you can see on this blog at some point.

If you like something I post, never worry about it.

Good day/night! And thank you for making me feel worthy!

(I like the way spells by different casters can clash in Morrowind)

Wanted to polish this idea a bit more but the 2025 reached my side of the globe faster than I could do it

So, happy new year, followers and passers-by! This post is for you exclusively, I think I'll delete it a bit later

[ijiwaruuma]

And then this scene happens

We'll discuss my brief disappearance later, for now have this holiday-themed mini comic for the sake of mood

[ijiwaruuma]

Ordered for a special reconnaissance mission from Tiber Septim himself; Dram tries to adjust to Morrowind's blistering summer heat, as well as its fashion as he blends in with the locals! >:3

So I have no idea why, but for some reason I suddenly had no idea how to shade, or color?? XDD so it looks pretty awful to me, I feel like its just as bad as that Teldryn Sero picture I made earlier this year!

Still, I worked hard on it and I tried a few new things, and anything I try that's new, even if I think it looks awful I'm going to post! Progress and all that :p It was fun drawing Dram!

[ijiwaruuma]

Is there a fanfiction of your Dunmer oc that I can read? Or is it just the comic entries that are spaced apart on your page?

Cryinggggggg and kicking my legs in the air

It's such a flattering question, honestly :"" I am very happy that my art has caught your attention in this way!!!

Now I'll try to pull myself together and give you the proper answer:

... So, I'm very insecure with writing for some reason (never know where to finish) and because of that the entire story of this OC is just some ideas in my head I usually share in DMs with anyone who's interested. If you want, I'll gladly tell everything you wish to know in this way. Or I'll just start posting about her on this blog if I stop being so socially scared... Or do some big epic illustrations for these texts (both of which is kind of unlikely 😭)

But for now, have some very rough sketches and facts for the mood:

She had an Argonian bestie when she was a kid at Chorrol but sadly that girl's dad was VERY traumatised by decades spent as a House Dres slave. And Colo-Nordic society she was surrounded with wasn't much kinder to her race.

Fortunately, one day she stumbled upon another Dunmer who didn't deserve all that hatred. He was a friend of that amazing Emperor who had saved her city from the invaders when she was ten years old, so he couldn't be bad like those violent Dunmer who ruined their race's reputation!

(also that dumbass made herself an ordinator scarf for the first date thinking it will make Dram nostalgic. It made him remember how those ordinators killed and almost tortured him 😭 (yeah, exactly in that order))

Some more random sketches

And bonus one with current Morag Tong grandmaster doing Dram's hair before sending him to execute his last(?) writ

[ijiwaruuma]

I LOVE YOUR ARTSTYLE OMG...............................????!??!

THANK YOUU! This ask made me so happy that I couldn't answer it until I found something to offer in return

So

Here are some creatures I'd never show if it weren't for the motivation these words gave me

Including this very friendly shadowscale (he's smiling)

Plus this no less friendly apprentice and master necromancer duo.

I hope to tell you a bit more about this dunmer/breton guy on the left someday

4 of 7. Dagoth Vemyn

Dagoth Vemyn is the Lord of Vemynal, called the "Womb Serpent". Unsociable and bilious in communication even with his brothers, he nevertheless actively surrounds himself with subjects, in exuberant entertainment with whom he discovers new uses for their bodies. The passionate aspirations of the Times gave us the opportunity to play sacred music without instruments and tear flesh without knives. We owe them the opportunity to bless or punish all others with our divine gift, spreading it.

The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard release day \quq/ and so, we did a lil collab with @cerviero <3 I missed drawing that dragon

[ijiwaruuma]

Today is The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard release day!

⠀⠀The game came with a Pocket Guide to the Empire that confirmed the most iconic elements of TES lore, as well as the only official comic book, the cover of which I decided to redraw with the first full-fledged dunmer of the series (sorry, dark elves from the previous games, you didn't have cool pet bugs and ash masks).

Special thanks to @mway1 for the flag

[ijiwaruuma]

Got tagged by @weirdisme for Wip Wednesday just in time to show you baby Dram and Vivec from a piece I'm currently working on

Not tagging anyone today because I don't have much mutuals to pester (and should probably reconsider the way I manage my blog)

... Well, except for @falmerbrook because she seems like the type of person who secretly keeps their interesting unfinished art like a dragon keeps it's gold 👀

And @cerviero because above is true for her as well 🫵

@vrrl you too! 🫵🫵

I'm such a fat liar

(But, as always, no pressure of course)

[ijiwaruuma]

Remember that time when Mannimarco called him Arnand the Fox? That's the best explanation I have for now

And I had to get it out of my head as quick as possible

[ijiwaruuma]

I'm not shadowbanned anymore but 90% of my artworks are still not showing up in tags and it makes me furious tbh.

Leaving the previous text of this post under the cut so that people know what happened:

I can't see the DMs people are sending me... and the Messages tab is completely gone.

Waiting for an answer from Tumblr support team.

Update: My posts have also disappeared from search... And I can't even comment. Or leave likes. That's a bit upsetting.

First rule of being a ghost: don't mess with the mages

I'm not very fond of undead, but these two are an exception

[ijiwaruuma]

Greetings, I received your message in my email, but unfortunately I'm not sure why I can't see it (I don't fully understand how Tumbler works), here's a comparison of the Dram (left) and Cyrus (right)

They are almost the same height, but Cyrus is taller by just a few centimetres

I hope this has been useful, if there is anything else I may provide, let me know!

HOLY-

PERFECT PERFECT PERFECT thank you very much, it IS very useful and also VERY NICE of you to do! There's even such an informative side view 🙏 I got so excited it low-key cured my headache, honestly. So thank you again!

(For people who don't know the context:

Since Cyrus has a confirmed canonical height of 185cm I tried to figure out Dram's by placing them near each other in game. It didn't go well.

But maxandkon made it the better way!)

~183,5cm that is, people!
