So despite spending weeks working on these tarot-themed cards for @legendlarkpod, I forgot to take my own pictures before I mailed them! Luckily Errol is a gentleman and scholar who documented them after they arrived, so thank you, Postmaster. Sadly, Tumblr is unhappy with the lovely video footage Errol took to show that many of these cards are shiny, so just take my word for it: I used a lot of metallic and shimmery paints!

Arcana:

Slake: Temperance

Kai: Death

Maeri: The Star

Fran: The Magician

Faelen: The Hanged Man

Corbin: Judgement

Did it take me another 2 months to finally post these on social media? Yes. Working in healthcare in the US is a nightmare and I stopped being a human being for a hot minute!

ahh ty for the ask 🫶🫶 love talking about my skyrim babies

11. If they are a magic user, what is their favorite school of magic? Do they have a natural talent for magic, or does it require diligence and study?

yiri's favourite school of magic is illusion magic, and it is the one she is most skilled in. while adept in destruction magic, she isn't a fan of violence and prefers to either defuse fights or distract enemies from her presence using illusion spells.

she does have natural affinity for magic, one she discovered at quite a young age, but her early lessons with jouane were essential in helping her hone her craft and control it. i think there are mages out there with a greater level of natural talent, but yiri is able to stand out among them thanks to her dedication and diligence.

12. What are their prejudices? What groups have they come to think of as ‘other’? Mages? Nords? Elves? Lollygaggers?

growing up, faelen would hear stories about the Five Year War between the bosmer and the khajiit. many of these came from his father, with faelen's paternal grandfather having fought in the war. as a result of this, i think he had a dislike for the khajiit for quite some time. since leaving valenwood, though, faelen has interacted with all sorts of people from all walks of life -- including khajiit. because of this, i think his anti-khajiit sentiments have softened over time and now he really has no quarrel with them.

he does not care for those who hunt people down over their faith (including the thalmor, obviously, but also including groups that chase daedra worshippers) or immutable aspects of their identity. being a werewolf, he dislikes the vigil of stendarr and the silver hand. with that being said, he fell for a vigilant, so he doesn't view individuals from these groups as inherently bad, though he may think of them as being either naive and misguided or ignorant and backwards.

14. Who is their mentor? Who do they go to most for lessons?

madlen has had several mentors over the course of her life, including @born-potty's OC kai, who taught her about tracking & hunting & all that good stuff. big love 🫶

her mentor in the thieves guild is brynjolf hehe :3c she goes to him with all sorts of stuff and credits much of her success within the guild to him.

someone else she goes to for lessons is maramal -- a little surprising, perhaps, given that she's a thief and a criminal. she is, nonetheless, drawn to mara, and has gone to maramal a number of times over the years for advice, especially (but not only) in matters of love.

18. What is their stance on taking a life? Do they kill without a second thought, in the name of a god or daedra, or do they adhere to pacifism?

llarelis is sooo pro-murder. never mind killing without a second thought, half the time she kills without a first one. she's always been partial to a good stabby stabby, but these days her killings are all in the name of sithis and the night mother, both of whom she reveres. she is big on ritual killings and what not, all done to bring glory to them.

Sketches, Draft, Final— the demonic form of Faelen, my oc. He’s the Hellish God of Fear in a story I may someday actually put into a completed work but for now all you get is my brain rot.

On his own way into the city to collect some supplies for his next leg of the trip home, Faelen really hadn’t expected to find anyone in the state he found this poor woman. Thankfully, Ashe had been there to help him collect her and take her to the closest inn so he could set to work.

His furrowed brow immediately relaxed to relief when he heard the noise from the other. “Easy, try not to move too much.” He cautioned in a soft voice, refreshing the rag he had on her head before continuing to bandage injuries he couldn’t outright heal. If only he had more mana...and herbs. Just his luck he’d be out when he needed them.
