#oc: Irene Maristella

[sanza-17]

I can’t stop designing and making reference sheets for my vestige I actually need to be taken out back and vaporised 🤡

n e ways, the outfit on the left is the one Irene is wearing when she meets the hooded figure (oh noes) because I don’t like the idea of her wearing rags in her final moments like…🌚

not to mention she’s running around stros m’kai wearing that so she might be sweating her ass off until they get to betnikh and then back home to daggerfall.

the outfit on the right is a more improved version she wears as an alternative to her main one, mostly wearing it when she’s doing errands for the mages/fighters guild, prologue quests, the scribing quest line, (havent finshed yet but it’s pretty cute so far) when she’s learning under Vanus’ and Vastarie’s tutelage and so and so😗

I’ve been thinking about that one part of the Blackwood dlc where you have to get a fancy outfit from that percius loche guy so you can infiltrate the waking flames party and the dresses that you can choose from weren’t that pretty imo so I came up with my own 🥴

posting some old art that I wanna clear out

necromancy lessons with vastarie <3

during the start I think Irene would feel a little guilty about learning necromancy even if its the 'good' kind especially since she was learning under Vanus beforehand after the planemeld but I think she gets over it after a while and just keeps it a secret from him lol

girl boss x man failure </3

they need to bring his ass back neowww!!

(inspired by that one bts pic of tom glynn and phia saban from HotD)

[sanza-17]

couldn't decide which version I liked so I put both, but I really like using the colour dodge blending mode thingy ngl (right image)

also I cant stop making new outfits for my vestige like I lowkey like this one better than her main outfit lol but that just means I cooked too much so a win is a win

WIP Wednesday

thank you for the tag @pocket-vvardvark <333

An unfinished sketch I have of Irene getting her degree in cuntology (“ethical” necromancy) with THE necromancy diva Vastarie 🤭 I wanna do another version with vanus afterwards because they both end up being irenes mentor some time after the planemeld and I think it’s funny having her learn under vastarie’s tutelage in grahtwood depsite vanus NOT like her ass and methods but what he doesn’t know won’t hurt him💜🤞🏽

more old art, played around with the gradation map with this one and it looked way better than the original

cat reveal too omg, this is Irene's kitty called pudding and she's a golden British shorthair but if they were to exist in the tes universe I think they would be called Breton shorthairs instead

[sanza-17]

Gonna go ahead and upload my vestiges updated ref sheet, looks so much better than my old one 😗

[sanza-17]

Testing out a new sketch brush but fire alpaca low-key has ass options 💀

[sanza-17]

Redid my old outfit reference for my vestige a while ago that I also made for artfight. I feel like I go overboard with the detail’s sometimes but oh well🤞🏽

7, 10, and 11 for Irene :333

Thank you so much for the asks!!🫶

I had to think pretty hard for some of these my brain might be dead today lol

7. Lover or a fighter - I think Irene’s a bit of both now that I think about it, especially during the beginning of eso where she has a more brighter and maybe even “naive” outlook on life making her more of a “lover” despite getting sacrificed not too long ago and she’s a kind, altruistic person in nature and just eager to help because she gets the chance to see what the world is like beyond the walls of Daggerfall. But after the events of summerset where she becomes slightly bitter and upset by what takes place, she shifts towards going for a more direct approach for a while until she finally finds that middle ground again between the two.

10. Does this character share anything in common with you - to be honest quite a lot lol, Irene is basically a self insert at this point not just in physical appearance but also in giving her similar traits/likes and dislikes to mine, such as liking the colour blue. Hating spiders, liking spicy food and desserts but hating the heat. Not to mention that a lot of the choices she makes are ones that I would make if I were in her position.

11. Do they have any epithets/aliases - apart from the ones that the vestige gets in game, I haven’t really thought of any others but since the vestige is immortal and by the time of TES II : Daggerfall Irene is still alive and un-aging and still living in Daggerfall like she has been since the day she was born in the 2nd era, but instead of adventuring she’s mostly doing whatever, overseeing the running of the rosy lion inn (it belongs to her father/family in my canon lol rip gregoire Lafont) and being a business boss babe in general whilst everyone fights over the Numidium and the totem. I think at this point people would probably refer to her as “Irene the undying” or something goofy like that (in her opinion) because it definitely fits the idea of her casually being around for so long instead of fading into obscurity.
