More Argonian fashion! They're not fully rendered, just flats and some basic shading, plus some fun with the scales.
These designs are more historically based, particularly on ancient Aztec and Mayan cultures. I had a lot of fun researching and learning, Also, a spread of designs for the body types too! I personally like the Morrowind Argonian design best, but I wanted to try out human legs and such. The two in the middle are male Argonians and rhe other two are female. Some fun history and design notes under the cut!
Some further notes on the outfit designs, etc. Pretty long and rambling, just a heads up!
I based the clothing off of ancient Aztec and Mayan clothes, trying to use credible sources and depictions. I say 'trying' due to the fact that hunting down sources for some of the images was particularly hard, and I'm sure some of them were mislabeled, as tends to happen. I will shout out Zotzcomic/Daniel Parad, an Amercian artist from a Salvadoran family. She did some wonderful posters of ancient Aztec and Mayan styles that really helped.
The first Argonian woman is wearing a tunic/dress inspired by the huīpīlli blouse ancient Aztec woman would wear, and is still worn today by some Mexican and central American countries. I imagine that this Argonian is some sort of fisherman or at least engages in a lot of manual labor, so she needs something loose to move around in, and less jewelery so it doesn't get caught or worn down.
The second Argonian, and first male one, is wearing an outfit loosely inspired by an ancient Mayan 'hip cloth skirt', and an ESO outfit I thought was neat (I think it's the Black Marsh Keeper). I imagined he was a mage of some type, and thus doesn't do a lot of labor. Maybe he's a Hist minder or even Hist speaker. Either way, he has the luxury of long cloth that could get dirty, and lots of jewelry and feathers.
the next male has an outfit somewhat based on the ancient Aztec maxtlatl that was worn by men. It's similar to a loincloth, but would usually be paired with a cape/cloak. I just made his waist wrap thicker, and gave him a sort of shawl. I imagined him as some old veteran on his way to the best hot mud baths in his tribe lol.
and our last Argonian is another lady, dressed in an outfit loosely inspired by various depictions of ancient Mesoamercian clothes, fantasy aesthetics and so on. I gave myself a lot more liberty with her, trying to combine what I learned and studied into something unique but still inspired by the real world. Maybe this lady is going to a dance, or some event.
I really wanted to incorporate a lot of color. Something that really bugs me about the ESO Argonian clothing is the lack of color! In my mind it makes no sense. Reptiles and amphibians are a group of animals that often use color as communication (bearded dragons, chameleons, dart frogs and so many more), and so many Mesoamercian cultures are colorful. I saw many examples of bright, bold colors while looking for references. I imagine in universe, Argonians could use the unique and varied flora and fauna of Black Marsh to dye these clothes and maybe give them as gifts to friends and family, or just as hand-me-downs. I dont have a justification for the gold and turquoise though, lol, it just looks very nice. The feathers could be from loved ones or the birds of the Marsh. (Side note: I have no idea if the fashions/costumes of ESO can be dyed. Even still, its sad the default colors are so muddy)
theres also some patterning on the clothes! I imagine this would be embroidery, or even hand painted. Argonians focus on the present, the 'Aurbic Now', so to speak. I could easily imagine an artsy lizard sitting down and embroidering for hours as a sort of meditative state, or for fun, or whatever. It seems like a good way to pass time as well! And plenty of the examples I found featured patterns and embroidery.
closing thoughts? I'm disappointed at the lack of diverse fashion for the Argonians in ESO. Actually, I'm pretty disappointed at the lack of diverse fashion for each race of Tamriel in ESO. I think ESO does some very cool stuff with some lore (all of the Murkmire release, expanding more on the various races, some fun Daedra stuff) but it really disappointed me with the fashion. Dunno if you can tell, but I'm a huge history nerd, especially historical fashion. It really saddens me that there's a lack of diverse, distinct options for ESO fashion. I should note- I'm strictly speaking about fashion, not armor.
It was a lot of fun to do some research on cultures I hadn't yet, and try to make some designs inspired by them. I might end up doing some for the other races too

P.S. As I said before, I imagine Coldharbour is a cold place, except for the abode of its Prince, which is kept warm to ward this particular frost atronach off. He sneaks in anyway and later departs in the form of mist.

Or I thought Joshi needed a hat since he's all in the snow. There's a larger winter Ashkhan-wear fit that I wanna design. Thought a börik would be fitting and had to continue that vibe with the patented emotional support cig.
Solstheim is cold, Skyrim is cold, he should probably have decent winter clothing.
Rules: Choose a bird that fits your OC (or blorbo), no matter if it's based on behaviour, looks or pure vibe and tag your friends after to see which fun oc-bird-combos they come up with!
tagged by @theoneandonlysemla thank you! This tag game is perfect for me 🤩 love birds so fucking much. Not sorry for the long list!
Warning: two bird photos have dead prey in them
Lilliandra
Harpy Eagle! it's one of the largest eagles in the world! Visually magnificent, almost regal, but also built to seize and break things. This matches with Lilli's height and her more predatory streak. She's not a delicate songbird; she is a canopy predator with gold eyes and terrifying hands. Their talons are similar in size to a grizzly bear's claws!
This also matches that she has a pet harpy eagle for falconry (that was originally her father's). Which, when it dies, she'll make into a undead familiar. :)
Miraak
Miraak is a hard one for me. I'm stuck between Bearded vulture and Golden eagle.
Bearded Vulture are a severe, solitary, bone-eating mountain bird. It feels right for someone who has survived in a hostile place for far too long. Golden Eagles are also large, solitary birds that are apex predators — just a bit more majestic looking.
Ophelia
Barn Owl! Quiet, strange, observant, soft-looking but eerie. Barn owls feel almost ghostly and I think they fit Ophelia quieter traits: watching from stillness, noticing small movements, being present without being loud. Also, even though it's a predator, it has a softness to it compared to the birds I chose for her parents!
Elikar
Northern Goshawk! They're intense working predators: practical, watchful, and dangerous when something enters their territory. I think it fits Elikar's soldier background, his protective streak, and his sense of duty without making him feel flashy.
Serana
Raven! I feel like this is so "expected," but I still wanted to add Serana to the list! :) Intelligent, tied to death, memory, and survival — I feel like it fits her well.
Cinnara
Cinnara gets two birds as her arc progresses.
Weaverbird for her beginnings. They're makers: delicate, precise, domestic in a skilled way, building intricate nests with care. It works for her clothier/tailor identity. Nightjars are for her later arc. Hard to notice, hidden in plain sight, dusk-associated, almost impossible to track until it makes itself known. :)
Psylia
Shrike! Pretty, precise, and horrifying. Shrikes are small predatory birds known for impaling prey. Not the largest predator in the room, but one that knows exactly how to pin something in place and leave it there. This fits Psylia's smaller height (for an Altmer) and her ruthless spymaster identity.
Vandoril
Grey Heron! Patient, still, careful, and always looking toward the larger waterline. I think it suits him: someone with a broader political vision, someone trying to act carefully in a corrupted world.
Alcanaro
Peacock. Proud, beautiful, status-conscious, loud in presence even when silent. Anyone that knows him knows how arrogant he is and about his inherent superiority complex.
Calithil
Black-Crowned Night Heron! Night herons have that patient, still, predatory quality — elegant but not flashy, quiet until they strike. I think it fits both his public and private face. He's not a hawk tearing something apart in daylight. He's a patient bird at the water’s edge, waiting for the exact moment to spear something.
Aluvus
Cormorant! They're a medium-larger coastal bird that I feel fit my Maormer cipher. :) They feel right for someone tied to secrets, depths, and survival in a place like Apocrypha.
I sat down like five hours ago with the intention of starting a new bravoyn save with certain self-imposed restrictions but instead i ended up in the construction set:
looking over an old mod i was working on once upon a time in which i was trying to insert bravoyn storyline-related things into the game
(most of it had apparently just been changing eddie's dialogue to suit my characterisation of him better)
(and also editing his house to give early-game bravoyn somewhere to live)
deciding to continue working on said mod
making bravoyn's housepod in sadrith mora
the main thing is. the doors work. and everything is accessible.
i had hoped to make it so i'd have to buy a key to it off galos but it has been years since i have properly played about in the CS so i might try to figure that out when my head is less cooked

Awakening with the effigies of their likeness and a cryptic ceremonial wedding beneath the unforgiving crust of Red Mountain, a starry-eyed Dunmer finding themselves traversing across the Pryai RIver is not proferred even the slightest context as to their existence upon gaining consciousness deep within the hull of a prison barge, which has set out for the humble city of Seyda Neen on Vvardenfell; as unfamiliar to them as their very presence on Nirn.
With not even a mere Septim in their possession, equally as such they find themselves struggling to parse what exactly had been the name to which such scarce wealth would have belonged. Only upon propositioned as to their identity do they wrestle together a coherent response: Neht, the Daedric pronunciation of the letter N. Naught had they known their attachment to the consonant, but little had Neht known they were bound to become bound up within a bizarre prophecy that would give more stock to their name than they could possibly imagine.
