Nonvul singing a dirge.

It's back, but, with a twist! This is actually the product of an AU of the AU ( thanks to @tomatotimes ), where Nonvul manages to survive his ( quite gruesome ) injuries because Miraak escapes Apocrypha and saves him ( and Krotumir, too. )

The lyrics are from the song “Landfill” by Daughter, and it honestly fits their situation so, so well.

Tomato theorized that there would be VERY HIGH tensions between these two Dovahkiin after Nonvul wakes up, since there's their inherent soulmated-ness mixed with the pure hatred Nonvul definitely feels towards Miraak because he betrayed the Dragon Cult.

We spoke at length about it— and it somehow manages to be more angsty than the original AU. Tomato has done a few sketches about this idea, and I have this artwork here, but it sounds like something fun to explore. One would then wonder,.. what happens to Chrysanthe, if Nonvul survives?

How to begin a rebellion (but your crush is too much committed into a cult)

It was a project I began in April. April. But since I was in school I couldn't be entirely focused on it. Though I'm happy I waited a bit, I progressed a bit in terms of facial expressions.

An idea of mine, from the AU created by @metallic-scaled-scarf , based on the GOL HAH DOV fanfic of @99corentine , where I imagined Miraak and Nonvul having a discussion (or rather, Miraak attempting to make Nonvul join his side very carefully).

Also, a detail I've seen in many medias : when a character is saying something with their eyes hidden but their mouth, it's mostly because they're not telling the truth. On the contrary, when you only see the eyes, it's when they're sincere, weither for good reasons or not. The mouth deceives but the eyes are windows to the soul.

And last but not least : if armor sexy, why that hard to draw.

I wasn't able to get tumblr to post them in the correct direction but I did my best

We have a shitty Chrysanthe drawing where he has a huge chin and a goofy look on his face with @metallic-scaled-scarf Nonvul dovahzul next to it.

I HAD SO MUCH FUN DOING THIS YEAHAHAAAH HOPE YOU LOVE IT MY MAN

This is Nonvul, my favorite Dragon Priest character I have (and, an adaptation/au of @99corentine 's Chrysanthe). After he died, the people he had protected emerged from their hiding place to find his body. The woman shown holding him is Felerid, his closest and only surviving Acolyte. She evacuated and protected a large majority of their city's citizens, but as consequence she wasn't able to fight alongside Nonvul.
