The Clockwork God tightens his "corset"

unfortunate that none of the ideas i have for Sil feature his face, but i am quite satisfied with this being my first time drawing him properly. I didnt try to make the spine prosthetic make sense or anything as my priorities was to get the material right and to just make it look cool.

Im interested in Sils rejection of the "flesh" by replacing it more and more with tech, both for himself and his followers. I also have the headcanon his arm was amputated from his injuries in the Ald Sotha tragedy (reason behind the scar), later causing him back problems from improperly fit dwemer prosthetics. I can never let this guy have a break so i also imagine he had some debilitating illness (eg. cancer) leading up to the Foul Murder, its the reason why he was so tempted to use the tools besides just being curious as Sil genuinely just wanted to survive, also why hes so desperate to replace his body with machinery.

also sorry for my increased absence as im very busy and exhausted with uni assignments, i will also be missing for a few weeks in June due to mandatory summer practice

oh and have in mind im not as knowledgeable about Sil as i have not played eso (likely never will) only watched a playthrough of the clockwork city dlc, havent read the truth in sequence either, so bear with me if i make very "contradictory" headcanons here

Look upon the heart

i bring more despair, this time with gold kanets, playing with composition is fun

the frame has a code

Demonstration of masked possessiveness and yearning These are my headcanons. I wanted to paint something related to their dynamic that emphasizes their relationships main friction, that nerevars ambition and desire for freedom (to walk his own heroic path to power and change) clashes with voryns uncontrollable need (and selfish wish) to receive nerevars constant time and attention aswell as to have nerevar all for himself Bear in mind i believe voryn knows that he cannot have nerevar the way he wants and he understands his own selfishness, just sometimes lacks the self control. Hes also not the only one pained by this and nerevar too feels bad about it, he has even deeper issues and reasons for why he is this way I think this scene itself is kind of focused on voryns feelings of abandonment in particular close-ups:

The Sharmat being awoken by the Queen of Dawn and Dusk experimental thing based off the headcanon that azura had something to do with voryn coming back from the dead all along, also inspired by this

+little azura portrait to get my bearings

depiction of mother morrowind

The Regressed Dream Ostinato Unrelated dream sequence. I like to think of Dagoth Ur molding his form seamlessly in dreams, he thrives and can achieve boundlessness in that space. This is also referencing voryns 7 siblings and my personal headcanon that he has taken pieces of his own body/ cloned himself to provide them a body to possess. In the middle is my nerevarine 1111, compulsively praying, still trying to resist the 3rd eye or temptation of power in front of him. close ups:

Star-crossed lovers

took inspiration from Svetlin Vassilev's Romeo and Juliet illustration, my anatomy might be a bit jank but hopefully the composition works

its been a nerevoryn time, closeup:
