"What is the music of life?"

So my vampire wood-elf assassin Ingrath wanted a picture. This honestly wasn't something I expected to be working on today but there it is! I guess this kinda doubled as a landscape/environment light/atmosphere study.

A Note on Ingrath's Hair: the default "long hair" style for male characters in Skyrim is... ehhh. It's very flat and a little stringy, but it's the only one that fit him. I would have had a problem with it, except I had a wild idea and decided it's flat and stringy because Ingrath - being from Valenwood, where it is a literal rainforest - keeps the sides of his head cut short so that it's easier to deal with in hot weather. Obviously, being in Skyrim, he needs some hair to protect his ears, so he's let it grow out somewhat, but still keeps the undercut for sentimental reasons.

Ingrath is... messy? Shall we say? Mostly it depends on the range. He's an archer long-range, an ice mage mid-range, and an axe-wielder short-range. If he can sneak up on a person he'll take them out by way of draining them. And he is a beast when he gets surrounded. Adaptable should be his middle name. He's currently wearing a set of engraved Bosmer armor. He'll probably be in it for a while because it really suits him.

Also, story-wise he's the guy who trained Zaytest (my khajiit) in the ways of stealth. In a way, he's kinda her adoptive father-figure, given the vast age gap between them. He's also weirdly devoted to Hircine and Mephala?? Mostly Hircine? I'm thinking it's because he's a hunter but honestly that came out of nowhere with him and I'm not sure what to think about it. He's also a very lonely person. Doesn't trust many people after his old chosen-family got destroyed and the subsequent bandit gang he was in got run out by a rival group. I do have someone in mind for him down the line, though! Way down the line, but eventually.
