Description DUN DUN DUUUN, Sheogorath is SHEogorath. Gwindor was referring to Sheogorath as she in part 9, though he was interrupted and then repeated by saying Sheogorath instead of she. Give yourself a pat on back if you noticed that. She's my Oblivion character (also seen in TES IV - I'm here to kick ass and chew sweetroll ). She was Atronach like Gwindor (I know it's birthsign so it's just coincidence), though much more battlemage-y. The cheese tasting Gwindor mentions is seen in ZDQ Extra - The cheesiest vacation . Last panels narration could be either Gwindor or Lydia's thoughts...

Daedric Princes can choose their appearance, so she could be anything, really. I kept all her high elven features, except for pupils and the hair color, which are similar to original Sheogorath's. I practiced some poses in this part, because talking heads are boring. I promise the next part will have BLOOD ANG GUTS! MWHAHAHA! Ahem, I mean: less dialogue, more action.

About Zombie Dovahkiin Quest:

This is a Elder Scrolls fanart comic that plays with alternative version of Skyrim's plot, where the game's events are derailed when the hero doesn't quite make it. Main character Gwindor the high elf mage is both the protagonist and the narrator of the story. My goal is to make dozens of parts long story arc that stays lorefriendly(ish).

Comments are very welcome. Feel free to ask if you feel something needs an explanation (about lore etc.), offer suggestions or constructive critique. By the way, I've seen a few translations of my comics and that's okay, feel free to do so. Just please don't remove the signature.

DUDE, that's the same for me here ! My canon has my Oblivion rogue/thief/assassin who had sex with Martin Septim become Sheogorath, although she didn't want the title so she just went on her way, then died while giving birth. Then, she reincarnated into the all-famous male version of the Mad God, even though she (he ?) technically still can appear a woman. In the while, her son ended up an immortal imperial with Divine magic powers and, you guessed it, a Dragonborn, legacy of his father.

My Sheogorath and Gwindor probably had a conversation along the lines "Mother, if you grow that damned beard I'll disown you faster than you can say 'Wabbajack' backwards."

Pfffrrrtt, that would be awesome. xD
Mine just sorta, well, happened to be that way. Oh, and since she's a Daedra now she doesn't have to worry about male specifications, which may explain why she doesn't care that much. But try to imagine what it's like to her son. "So, do I call you mother or father ???"

Altmer can be surprising in terms of sanity, maybe their arrogance is of use after all.

Dang, this was buried for me. I guess that's what happens when I get busy.

OMG! I was right! But.. I never expected her to be the Madgod! That's awesome! No wonder Gwindor has connections!  

Truly awesome! I love it!

Thank you! Oblivion player character becomes new Sheogorath at the end of the Shivering Isles main quest, so I didn't even need to come up with any ideas of my own here.

I almost wish I'd kept Staff of the Everscamp around longer, so I could have kept drawing scamps in the background.

Se on viittaus entisen Sheogorathin höpinöihin TES IV:n pelaajahahmolle eli nykyiselle Shogorathille: "Wonderful! Time for a celebration... Cheese for everyone! Wait, scratch that. Cheese for no one. That can be just as much of a celebration, if you don't like cheese. True?"

Oblivionhan on edelleenkin ihan pätevä peli, tosin pelattavuus ja pelimekaniikka voivat olla kankean tuntuisia jos vertaa Skyrimiin.

Vähä se grafiikan taso mietityttää, ja npc-tyyppien naamavärkit on kuulemma aika eriskummallisen näköisiä. Tosin on meillä se läppärilläkin (modit varmaan pelastaa paljon), mutta skyrimissä riittää kyl vielä tarpeeks tekemistä meikäläiselle

 Poor guy! Having Sheogorath as a mother! Was he born before or after the change? Did he grow up there?

Lydia's expression in the last panel is perfect. 

Some crazy emotes in honor of my favorite Deadra:

There's a "skips rope with entrails" emote? Ahahahaa!

I haven't yet 100% decided if he was born before or after. It did happen after the Oblivion crisis was resolved and before her change become complete. Gwindor is (at least physically) fully Altmer and not half-Daedric. He did indeed grow up in Shivering Isles, at the tender mercies of the Madgod.

Ah, this is an interesting development indeed. And now another little side distraction, poor Gwindor, you'd think he'd just get a break and be able to focus on his main task, Very enjoyable part, and the different poses really did help the change things up and convey body language.

But I got to leave something for you to guess! Well, actually I haven't even locked my decision about that yet, since it won't be relevant in this story arc. He is a character from Oblivion, that much is ascertained.

It did make it easier to create a more distinct Sheoh, male would have easily become just a variation of canon Sheogorath.

I wish there was an option in skyrim to change Sheogorath to the same sex your oblivion character was, it only makes sense.
