Description Sometimes I do fan art of my own characters from ESO. That's just a thing I do.

Anyways, anyone who's spent some time playing any Elder Scrolls games is familiar with the idea of the class divisions between combat, stealth, and magic (commonly referred to by the names Mage, Thief, and Warrior). I realized that a few of my ESO characters fell into those categories (unintentionally) as well as representing all three of the in-game Factions. So, I guess this picture just kinda happened.

Right in the middle there is Abacc of Northpoint, my main character in ESO (as well as my personal in-game avatar). You guys have seen him before (like here fav.me/d7mhp35 and here fav.me/d7n5a9s for starters). Anyways, Abacc is a Breton Dragon Knight who specializes in sword and shield combat, making him an ideal Warrior type. He represents the Daggerfall Covenant (the true leaders of Tamriel) which is shown by the Lion Banner to the right of him.

On the left is Demelle Avalon, a High Elf Sorcerer who chose to forgo the mage's staff in favor of a greatsword. She specializes in dark magic and summoning(which is why she has a scamp with her), which makes her a slightly different take on the Mage archetype. It's interesting to note that the name Demelle Avalon is actually a Dunmer (dark elf) name; Demelle was adopted at a young age by a Dunmer family and carries their name to remind herself of who she fights for in this war. While she doesn't typically like other High Elves, she still fights for the Aldmeri Dominion (and it's the Dominion banner next to her). She also seeks revenge against the necromancers who stole her soul, and she means to make them pay.

Kirstia Erikson is the young Nord Nightblade on the right. She grew up in the wilds of Skyrim where she taught herself to hunt and live off the land. She had been homeless for most of her life, and after she became a soul-shriven she decided to join the Ebonheart Pact (the Pact standard is to her left) to make a name for herself. Kirstia fights using her bow and her natural ability to blend in to her surroundings, which makes her an excellent example of the Thief playstyle. Magic abilities aren't really her thing (although she has one or two to use in an emergency), so she relies on her stamina to carry her through battle.

Oooo...This is very nice. Great detail.

If it comes down to it, I will always pick; "The Glass Cannon" mage.

I actually struggle playing that type of build, strange as it may be. Just about every time I play a game like this I pick a character that can take some hits, first and foremost, and then I worry about doing damage.

That being said, being a mage with awesome spells looks really cool 100% of the time, haha.

I like myself a meat-shield too. But, I think I'm kind of projecting myself on to those mages. Because I would utterly LOVE to shoot magic and run from axes. (Well, not the axes part, hehe.)

Oh man, you got that right. It's all about projection, because why be boring in a game when you can be awesome? Magic is silly and impossible and good lord I'd love every second of shooting bolts of lighting out of my hands and raining fire from the skies. That'd be pretty sweet (also I feel you about the axes-thing; I'd bet they hurt, yeah?).

I'd make it rain fire and lightning all day~. Well, maybe not, don't want to hurt the muggles. (You bet they'd smart!)

Yup. 8.5" by 11" white printer paper. I had to edit them all into one image from the 3 sheets.
