The man's a SHARK and has teeth what can I say.

I need to stop making charas who's personality/silhouette is their hat. Because boy I can't draw em.

Pen sketches I did in class of my favourite Skyrim bois (ft. Mirmulnir replacing Paarthurnax because I forgot how to draw him <\3)

I messed up Odahviing's quote but it's close enough lol.

The Khash the argoinian mod has made me realize I never wanna adopt one of those hearthfire kids again. Khash is my only daughter now.

Tosh-Raka

It's been a while since I designed another Dovah but I needed to revamp my Tosh-Raka headcannon for mine and @/Tharyya' Akavir plot/story. In our lore Tosh-Raka is just a regular dovah who the tsaesci dragongaurd failed to slay and swore revenge on them by fleeing to Po'Tun and pretending to be the emporer who just died.

Anyway here's two of my very early OCs who i love dearly.. i missed them so much..

Lord Floofers, or just Floof for short (he/him) is a cyclops demon kitten who can't control his demonic powers yet. When he's older he can summon wings. He's a scottish fold munchkin <3

And Dovah (it/its) is a dragon cat and acts as Floof's guardian. It always looks very stoic but would do anything to protect Floof. May not look too menacing but can breathe fire when necessary.

Earlier i did say i might use Floof as a Pizza Tower OC but then i thought. If i do so he needs his guardian. But maybe I'll keep them to myself in the end anyway. Idk yet.

Either way it was nice revisiting some of my very first ocs again. They make me happy :)

The Last DragonBorn [modern au]

[masterlist]

I know that there are different backstories for different player’s Dragonborns.

So I’m gonna go with the basic “i just found out that i’m the Dragonborn and now i have to save the world”

I don’t think they were on death-row (death sentence is so not PC according to the Skyrim Moot)

Based on their age i think they either were in juvie or in prison (if we want to go with the prisoner story)

Or they were at the Helgen Migration and Home Affairs Center, getting their passport checked (if we want to go with the board-crossing story) when suddenly Alduin appeared, the people started to evacuate, and while the person who was checking the LDB’s passport also ran out of the building, the LDB just stamped their own passport (I am so sorry for the long and weird sentences)

So how did the LDB found out that they are the LDB? They started showing “symptoms” of being one and they just googled it. They typed in “voice suddenly louder” and “speaking weird language in sleep” and then “weird languages” and then “ancient languages” and then “dovah” and then “dovahkiin” and then be like, hm, weird, still not me tho

Or everytime someone asks them about it they just shrug their shoulders and respond with “i don’t know, i’ve always been a weird” or “yeah, lately i’ve been shouting a lot, maybe i have some anger issues” or when someone mentions that their shouts are pretty strong, and can almost blow away someone the LDB is just like “oooh, maybe i invented some new type of magic!”

And one day, when the modern equivalent of the Bleak Falls Barrow and Dragon Rising happens, and their whole friend group (so like their in-game followers and their modded followers) is standing there, confused, until one friend of the LDB ask “LDB, wtf???”

And LDB is like “not to self-diagnose, but i think i might be the Dragonborn”

And the friends are like “yeah, that makes sense”

It’s so dangerous to be around LDB because when they get sick, their sneezes blow everyone away. And when they get those sneezes that make your head hurt and ears ring? LDB blows themselves back into a wall, tree, the ether, etc

LDB doesn’t have a house (in the beginning), however they do have an RV!! So LDB and company use it to go here and there, to move around, to sleep, to cook, to etc.

But also I don’t think LDB has a drivers license? i think two or three of the friends switch driving

And I think (because there are a lot of followers & modded followers) that the RV is huge, but LDB and friends mostly camp, except if it’s raining or there’s a storm, etc, but then the RV is cramped and everyone is sleeping on everyone

LDB would have a youtube channel where they would upload videos like: "i joined the thieves guild so you don't have to", "am i the last dragonborn? story time", "interview with a nightingale" and "did we find blackreach?!?!"

I think they would wear like a basic outfit (like whatever basic outfit you imagine for your LDB) and over it they would wear a lighter armor.

So imagine your favourite band T-shirt, your favourite shorts and shoes + a lot of armor

But they could also wear heavier armor or whatever you headcanon (olease draw your dragonborn in an urben fantasy, modern au setting 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️)

you know those little bags that can be attached to your belt or your thigh-belt? LDB has one those. Expect that bag is a pocket dimenson that can fit almost everything. It has dragonbones, cheese wheels, potions, a whole civilazition. it comes really handy when travelling, but really annoying when fighting. i mean, those bandits won't wait for you to fish out exactly that potion or cheese that you need.

They still would do quests!!

They would go to a random inn, or a random person and ask them "Have you heard any gossip lately?" and the people would be like "yeah, sure, i heard from my schoolmate that ... "

Also, you know how LDB always gets those weird letters feom an unknown "friend"? THAT WOULD BE GOSSIP GIRL, OMG

an unknown person known as gossip girl (who has like a website or something?) would just randomly send a text to LDB about a rumour they got texted, or something like that

and LDB would go to that random place

also, you know that theory that goes like Herma Mora is that person who keeps sending those letters? it would be hilarious to realise that he is Gossip Girl 🎀

ola, but LDB having a little dovahzul dictionary with them? either a book or on their phone?

or maybe a translator

"Hey ChatGPT, what does Yoltoorshul mea- Why are my boots on fire?"

imagine that LDB commands the friends to hide in a bush because they saw two dragons fighting and now they are using the speech to text function on their translator to figure out what the dragons are saying

LDB trying to make their own shouts? like a "No, U" shout

When the RV breaks down randomly and they have to push it a bit? LDB is on the back, hands are thightening around the metal ladder (so they won't fall off), while they are getting ready to shout a fusrodah.

you can't take pictures of videos of them without having to retouch it later. their soul is so ancient that it makes the electronics have problems. so their youtube channel has a lot of glitches as well.

they have two contacts on their phone: one for their favourite follower or sexyman, and one for Partyturmix (saved exactly like that). The greybeards are blocked. The blades are blocked. Those annoying characters that you don't like? Blocked.

Miraak just couldn't get in touch with them, cause they are so old and the LDB is so modern..? Miraak sends letters first, which the LDB automatically throws out ("Who is Miraak? Aren't they that tax collector from Solitude?"), then his followers (the dragonborn thinks they are those tiktokers that ask what you are listening right now, or geographical questions like "Dragonborn-" "My favourite Dragonborn? Hm, hard question, I think I liked Tibet Septim!" "No-" "Yes!"). Miraak eventually had to get a phone to message LDB.

@99corentine It’s been a while, but it seems summers are the time for my (somewhat) annual Gol Hah Dov art! If you haven’t read it yet, I highly recommend, without much spoilering, they finally made it to Sovngarde and the description was so visceral I knew I just had to draw it! (This is my new official art account, by the way, just to avoid confusion)

Tumblr, as usual, hates anything I spend more than two hours on, so the google drive host link is HERE. Please go look at it and zoom in on the details. This took seven hours and fifty four minutes and yes, I did hand write all that dovahzul, thank you for asking! Translation under the cut!

Translated, it reads:

Nuz aan sul fent alok fod fin vul dovah nok

But a day shall arise when the dark dragon's lies

Fen kos nahlot mahfaeraak ahrk ruz!

Will be silenced forever and then

Paaz Keizaal fen kos stin nol bein Alduin jot

Fair Skyrim be freed from dark Alduin's maw

Dovahkiin kos fin saviik do muz!

Dragonborn be the savior of men

Commission for @bristarlight featuring Rowan Emberburrow! ;w; this one was really fun, I love the bunnies. Thank you so much!!

4th Art Fight attack! [Still an eyestrain warning too!] This one's for @aleielle-of-roshar as a sorta revenge but technically friendly fire attack on their undead dovah, Kriiyolxthaarn! Only fair that I draw one of their dragons for drawing one of mine lol

Has being in Apocrypha for so long warped Miraak’s body at all?

Yes, very much so. There is little, if anything, that can resist the influence of Apocrypha forever, especially if those things are even tangentially mortal. Miraak is no different in this regard, although his sanity has been (more or less) intact. There is something in a dovah's immortal soul that is immutable by these influences — so the inherent resilience Miraak has to the realm is a byproduct of his dragon-blood.

That said, the resistance only mostly extends to his mind. His body has not decayed so severely that he is no longer recognized as mortal without his coverings... But were you to look at him unmasked, you would be wondering how he's even alive.

I would post some art I did years ago but I plan to re-do the design and possibly never do the fine detailing on his actual face when I draw it. I think it would lend to a Cooler Air Of Mystery, but for the sake of indulging you I'll mention some of the features I have in mind.

He has the complexion of a plague victim. It's ghastly, it looks like he hasn't seen the sun in four thousand years because he quite literally has not.

The blood in his veins is pitch-black, without a single hue of red in it. Because of this, anywhere blood flushes just inevitably looks like he is suffering from necrosis instead. It also just oozes from whatever orifice in his body on a pretty constant basis. Sometimes it'll hiss and steam from an apparently internal heat, so it closer resembles tar than blood. Thankfully he can use alteration magic to clean this up regularly, but... It's still kind of gross.

All the bodily fluids are pitch black, actually.

The flesh is so withered, stretched thin and torn at places that it exposes the bone underneath, making him resemble a draugr. However, he still has fresh musculature in his body, so he looks more like the in between stage of "alive" and "draugr".

Missing a few fingers, maybe more than only fingers, that he has to replace with writhing black tendrils. Thankfully, they fill out his gloves the same.

He has more than two eyes. The rest are in places they should not be, either exposed to the air or writhing under his skin like burrowed insects. The see and react to things on their own without his whims. Mora can see out of them, and it is this reason that usually brings Miraak to manually blinding these eyes when he discovers them. Even if it does nothing, he likes to think otherwise. He would prefer to think otherwise.

Texture along various places like the cheekbones, shoulders and the like that resemble scales — more like the scales of a sea beast than a dragon, however. This feature is mostly imperceptible but occasionally sharper edges will jut out and malform his features.

There are long-remaining scars inflicted by Hermaeus Mora as well, and if they happen to re-open, it isn't only blood that comes out. It's reaching black tendrils. Miraak has tried many times to remove these brands in his flesh by inflicting his own wounds there, but it never works.

Beyond the brand, there are ever constant runes that run along his his body — literally, as they're always moving along his skin. Not always in the same places.
