following all the gemstone birds

Just a tiny bit late but I have just this one more thing for @tes-gala

This week has been extremely busy so I really couldn't get as much done as I wanted to. Agghg...

But I really wanted to finish this one so I'm posting it!!

Squints-At-Men and Martin :)

Squinty isn't used to fancy parties because he's more used to fighting people. His birthsign is The Serpent :D

First image: Digital illustration of two figures standing close to each other on a black background. On the left is a very tall red Argonian dressed in a brown loincloth and golden snake-shaped jewellery or body paint on his torso. On the right is Martin Septim from the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. He's dressed in pale yellow robes, trimmed with fur at the collar. Martin stares up at the Argonian with a fond smile, one hand at his chest, as the Argonian looks away shyly with arms crossed.

Second Image: digital black and white 3-panel sketch comic of the same characters in the first image.

.:Evening Star:.

Cimba and Teldryn with the aurora. From June 2025. I really loved painting the background for this one.

You are:

Letting me know that my character/fic is important to you, which is so very important to me.

Making me think deeper about my character and therefore expanding his/her personality or backstory.

Making me think about my character which helps me to overcome writer’s block.

Encouraging me in my writing (which, let’s be honest, it’s a battle)

Letting me know that I am seen and that I’m not doing this for nothing.

So thank you, and don’t ever feel like you are wasting my time by asking me anything about anything.

Hi everyone! I'm Shania and you might know me for my Daggerfall OC Vyctoire. I'm making this post because I want to see if there is interest in the TES fandom for a Big Bang event!

Not sure what a Big Bang is? That's okay! It's basically a writing challenge where authors try and write a certain amount of words within a set timeframe. For example: 25k words and 3 months. Participating authors are paired up with participating artists who will make an illustration based on the fic in progress. These teams will then have their fic and art posted and promoted by the moderators of the event!

Here are some examples of Big Bangs in other fandoms: (x) (x) (x)

I would be looking for other individuals to help mod the event as I cannot do it alone. So I would like to find out who is interested in such an event and what role they would want to fulfill. Please fill out the form linked below. You can also respond to this post with any questions or concerns or send me an ask with anything you might want to say!

Reuploaded because cropping reduced the quality. I need good, lossless quality (I'm probably overloading my tablet with large canvases for no reason).
