#Snow Elf

[motherhenna]

I've always wanted to do a "Pieta"-esque piece, and figured my Skyrim OCs would be a good vehicle to do it! Scene takes place shortly after the final Alduin fight, at the throat of the world: Vakna (dragonborn) doing her best to keep her Falmer lover, Sivasei conscious while imploring Odahviing to take them back to Whiterun.

Ear Headcanons

So this was meant to be just my headcanon for the differences between the different mer races' ears (size, shape, if they can move on their own, etc.), but there's a tinge of just general visual differences between them in there too (because this ended up being really good face practice for me). I'll mostly talk about ears though. Obviously this is more meant to be general trends than hard and fast rules.

I'll start with the playable races.

Altmer

Tall and skinny ears that can move out and back a bit (moderate range of motion). They mostly are close to the head but can also stick out a bit.

Dunmer

They have a wide variety of how their ears can be shaped; small, tall, wide, big, straight up, curvy, etc. The typically stick out more than Altmer's and have a larger range of motion.

Bosmer

The largest variety of any of the races. Their ears can look like just about anything any other race has (except maybe Maormer) from any mer ears, to more human ears, to more animal-like ones. They have a large range of motion regardless of how they look.

Orsimer

Small, almost human-sized ears, but they stick out more from the head than humans and can be wider. The pointed end tends to stick out. They can rarely move.

Breton

Breton basically just have human ears with a little point at the top. I thought it would be fun to draw a sort of comparison to your average Nede and average Breton to highlight the subtle more merish look that I think Bretons should have too.

Ok now for non-playable races

Snow elves/Falmer

Ok so I have terminal Falmer brainrot so I have a lot of completely made up headcanons for these guys sorry lol.

Snow elves have the least variety. They are usually shorter and closer to the head than the other mer races (which evolved as an adaptation to counter frostbite in my headcanon) and can't move. Conversely, I like to headcanon that falmer are on their way to evolving rudimentary echolocation, and therefore have huge ears that stick out far from their head, and are very mobile (this is also why their faces are covered in wrinkles). They can look more traditionally merish, or some of them have real funky shapes.

Chimer

Basically a mix between how the Altmer/Aldmer and current Dunmer look (both in their general appearance and ears). Think of it like the transition between the Aldmer look and Dunmer.

Dwemer

Dwemer have relatively short ears (compared to other mer) and don't stick out much, but they can be wide along the side of the head. Their shape is usually pretty angular and have limited mobility.

Aldmer

Your standard pointy fantasy elf ears. So I technically headcanon the Aldmer as many different (although similar) groups that are referred to as one group due to the nature of retelling history and some propaganda sprinkled in there, but in general, since the other mer of Tamriel descended from them, I see them as sort of generic. Nothing particularly notable in their ears. Minimal to moderate ability to move them.

Ayleid

Curvy. They have Aldmer sized ears with twisting and curving in different directions. Limited movement, and not too much range in size (just shape). I have 0 reasons for thinking this, I just thought it would be fun and unique and maybe fit their aesthetics.

Maormer

I like that canon Maormer ears look fin-like but I want to turn it up to 11. Large variety of shape and size, but usually large and fin-shaped as a general trend. Huge range of movement.

Ohmes/Ohmes-raht

They aren't elves, but they are described as human/mer-like, so I figured I'd include the Ohmes. They usually have pointy, mer-esque ears, but less distinct than most mer. Despite being relatively small, they have a wide range of movement for their size (and move in similar ways to the way cats ears move for the rest of the Khajiit). They can be extra fuzzy or have little tufts at the end for Ohmes-raht.

I'm realizing I never posted a lot of my Artfight art from last year, and it is coming up very soon, so uhhhh I better get to that oops-

This one was an attack to @ellirhshaan , of their character Aliasse (an Ar'the, the settings' equivalent to a snow elf, from their webcomic Fading World- Check it out it's gorgeous!). I wanted to try a background in my cell shaded style, which I don't do too often!!

There's never too many Falmer OC's, right? :D

Meet Elthune, a sweet Falmeri grandma!

So a little of her backstory: Elthune had her own tavern long before all that crap with Atmorans started out. When the war came, she lost all her family and had to flee to the Dwemer city to seek refuge there. Of course, as well as many Falmer there, she lost her sight in exchange. Still, somehow she managed to leave Dwemereth and go to the Sacred Land (aka Forgotten Vale) where she quickly adapted to cook meals for her people despite being completely blind. Now she is a cook in the temple of Auriel, and alongside with her assistants Elthune provides the best and heartiest food for those who work hard to maintain the wellbeing of the community and don't have much time to cook for themselves.

What is interesting, Elthune never lost her sweet and bubbly personality despite going through way too many horror and trauma. She remains one of the kindest Falmer in her community, and everyone is very, very protective of her :>

[motherhenna]

trying out a more painterly style, though was unable to manage to fully abandon my usual linework lol anyway! Portrait of my Falmer prince, Sivasei! Kind of hate how generic the snow elves were in Dawnguard as far as culture / aesthetic goes (IE just...albino altmer), so I've decided to lean into the Scandanavian Sami and native Siberian inspiration instead.

TES Summerfest Day 5 - Crown or Gentle

Before Ysvena, it was her father’s crown, and before that her grandmother’s, all the way back to the Snow Prince who sent it across the ocean with his heir.

One day, it will be Ydhedhor’s.

"You were born a slave," said Konahrik. "Do you not wish for freedom?" The sightless eyes of the Falmer gazed straight ahead. "My people learned long ago," said she, "that to wish for the impossible would be too much to bear."

Tried a bit of a fancier style for an upcoming scene from my fic Death and the Maiden.
