Click the heart if he deserves a hug. No heart - he's left unhugged 🥺
A little attention-starved mer 🥺
I have a theory that Talvas must have had really strict parents that would give him love on the condition he performed well.
Growing in such a family he became demanding towards himself in the later life. Only someone who never knew a warm place in the childhood would consider that living in Tel Mithryn is "not bad".

If you want wizards to be nice to you - better don't interrupt their teabreaks :3
_________
I won't be posting much now bc I'm learning how to use more than 3 brushes in one drawing lololol.
Have this sample for now :3
Do you think that a reading campaign posters would be more successfull if they featured cute baby Telvanni wizards?🥺
____________________________
Mer kids are my obsession at this point - expect more of them :3
A highborn Telvanni mistress and her smol baby. She looks a bit evil and nasty lol but appartently the sight of her very own child melts her heart. 🥺
Anyone wanted more of baby Neloth? :3
_________________________________________
Do you ppl have any other TES characters you wish to have portrayed as kids? (that's NOT an actual challenge, I guarantee nothing, though I'll probably flesh out my favourite suggestions :)
A power-mad ancient wizard with dubious morals and a smug, self-seeking witch of an apprentice.
What possibly could go wrong? :3

But I secretly do hope that in one of the parallel universes nothing wrong has ever happened and they live happily together. 🥺

You may like baby Yoda or even baby Rick but I prefer baby Neloth :3
Well, not rly so baby.
I do love speculating what kind of kind of environment and ppl could have created such an ideal a jerk.
I believe that his mother was a renegade cave necromancer on Vvardenfell, maybe of an Ashlander origin. She was probably so disagreeable that she dumped his father and brought up her son on her own. She flooded her son with admiration and managed to pass down her ambitions onto her child. Growing with no father figure, there was no one in his early childhood to burst the bubble of Neloth's self-absorbed delusions... that's how Neloth became Neloth :3
Do you have any theories about the Neloth's past yourself?
"HOW do you imagine yourself surviving as a House Telvanni Wizard???!!! You don't even know THE BASICS!!!!"
(Talvas, in his head: "Yes, yes. I'm not gonna survive at all.")
"Drip! Drip!" - the teardrops on the paper.
________________
I've promised you Talvas crying over books... and here he is :)
Yes, I vent through drawing Talvas, move along.
There are some days in winter when you just need to leave your dignity aside - and protect your sensitive ears and bald head by all means possible.
He's prepared to kill anyone that dares to laugh at him.
_________________________
Neloth in a babushka scarf. A friend of mine thought it was a good idea, so if you wish to unsee it - but can't - I'm not the one to blame.
Paranoia, paranoia...
Imaginary foes and dangers, quite often conviction about self-importance, fight-or-flight mode flared up to the extreme and feeling an urge to do irrational things... like avoiding mirrors or windows.
_________
Ildari's an underrated character.
_________
I hope you all take care of yourself and drink enough water.
I wish all of you a nice day :)
I don't know. I... maybe? It's what... it's what he wanted. He just needed their energy. I don't know! I hope I didn't. But... maybe I...
Please, you have to believe me!"

You deserved this, Ralis.
For 11000 gold I could buy a house and feed a family of four, you know?

__________
Autumn is coming, graveyards are becoming increasingly interesting places to study.
Evening falls. The atmosphere would be almost idyllic if it wasn't for the stench of a decomposing cat.
__________
__________
My Dunmer kiddo in a scarf doing some shady things again :)
Theoretically this is my OC, but gives very "Neloth" vibes (I guess I need to give him more distinctive features in the future).
So go on, you can think this is young Neloth.
Schoolyear's coming, gonna be drawing a lot of Talvas crying over books. Hence this practice piece.
_____
The second piece: the Dunmer of the Raven Rock. I love Solstheim, gonna move there after I die.
Does sleeping on your books bestow you with additional knowledge?
Well, if you lag behind too much everything's worth trying, I guess.
___________
I... I just can't make an artwork with a simple, easy-to-pull-off lighting, OK? That's beyond my mental abilities.
A little, indulgent photo edit I've made.
__________
Do only I call him "Hermy"?
Even master Telvanni wizards need tea breaks.
I suppose the tea time is the only time when master Neloth can be sunny.
__________________________________
Yes, yet another wizard on a chair/armchair. I'm afraid that I have a new fetish.
Neloth... doing some Telvanni things.
Talvas probably threw up and washed out or was assigned some boring chores (apparently, Neloth seems enjoying himself so perhaps the task wasn't painful enough to involve Talvas in it).
____________________________
I've sketched this while listening to "DEATH MAGICK FOR ADEPTS".
Listen to Cradle of Filth, kids. Best frigging music to draw egoistic, power-mad wizards.
"Uhhhh... I hope master Neloth won't see that." ____________ This is my older stuff. I've sketch this piece not that long before my final exams at school. Probably because of the fear of screwing up.
Talvas, breaking his busy schedule for a moment.
I've heard that he's a bit of a screamer.
___________________________________________________
Uhhh, I hope I won't get thrown into a certain kind of jail for posting that.
Yes, I'm one of those pampered snobs whom you can't please with ANY tea.
Drovas deserved this.
Talvas... having a bit of an existential crisis. And traveling through the realms of "what for?" and "why?". ____________ He so much resembles a dedicated student who tries to convince his teacher that they are something more than just an idiot. I simply love drawing him.
"She looks so beautiful in her grave..." ____________ Master Neloth's former apprentice. I pushed the idea that someone had an unrequited love for her a bit further. She looks as if she is sleeping, with lips almost as if she's waiting for a kiss... But she's dead. And that hand has just opened her grave looks suspicious. ____________ I've sketched it while listening to Cradle of Filth, hence it's so sick.
