Description
* * * * * * BEFORE YOU COMMENT READ THIS: * * * * * *


- This is an AU in which it is possible for a character to have the physical traits of their father. So please don't lecture me about how Ethaniel should look like his mother!!


* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *


"We had hope in our hearts that Ethaniel would grow to be the strong, happy, and honorable man he had truly become. But neither of us ever considered for a moment the possibility that he was the Dovahkiin of the fourth era!

5th of Evening Star, 4E. That was the Dawn of the Dragonborn... our son."

BEFORE YOU COMMENT
There is no need to bring up anything about how he's supposed to look like his mother!! I am aware of this- So don't bother! I like Ethaniel this way so live with it!


OMG DID I just do art after falling off the face of the earth for such a long time?

Actually I have been doing art every day... but most of it, for copyright reasons, cannot see the public ;D

I'm very pleased with this and I'm glad I chose this direction in regards to the 'breakfast time'. It's just enough that you know what's going on but it's not intrusive, too revealing, or done in a way that looks like it's done for a statement. She's not like that "Are you Mom enough?" woman on the cover or Time magazine. blegh...

Aw... Daddy LaChance is happy too ^.^ Yes he's thinking about Aaron and hoping that Ethaniel's life will be much longer and happier.

I like the idea of him having mixed features. Wish I saw it more often.

It would be interesting if you could make a mix raced character in Skyrim.

I'd love that too- I know it would mean having to create additional 'races' and make things a bit more complex, but it would make it more interesting . Maybe they should have the 'custom race' option and you can select 'trait flags', like marking 'dark elf' and 'imperial' so that the game knows how you appear to NPCs.

Are people really lecturing you about how Ethaniel should look like his mother? Wow, I say just ignore those people. 


I like your art-work how it is, meaning Ethaniel how he looks! And hoping you continue drawing him ^^ 


Also are you going to draw any of your ESO characters? I would like to see them!!

Not too often, but often enough to annoy me. But I just ignore it now. Most people do what ever they want with their character's design without caring what people think.

I certainly have been! I'm glad you like him!

I plan to . One of them is Malkhai's father.

Forgive me for asking this, but what? Characters aren't allowed to look like their dads they HAVE to be the spitting image of their moms? Am... Am I reading this right? Don't get me wrong, it's your character. They can be whoever and look like whatever, I just want to make sure I'm reading that right.

A lot of people seem to believe that. If I remember correctly there is something somewhere that seems to suggest that, but whether it is true or not I chose to ignore this 'fact' since it's only a way of explaining why you never see an obviously mixed race character without having to say 'because Bethesda didn't have the budget to include them'

Ming-Sing In reply to GrimweaverArt [2016-05-15 21:38:54 +0000 UTC]

Is that why we don't see Human/Khajit or Dunmer/Argonian characters or children? Well, that bites. Thanks for clearing up the confusion.

faepaintings In reply to Ming-Sing [2018-06-19 10:40:59 +0000 UTC]

I think this is rather because it physically and/or biologically is not possible for the beast-races to mate with human/mer-races.

GrimweaverArt In reply to Ming-Sing [2016-05-15 22:33:24 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I wouldn't take that to heart though. Like I said, they probably came up with that answer to cover the lack of characters with visible mixed backgrounds in the game. I find this irritatingly limiting so I've decided to ignore it. Most people do anyway.

Ming-Sing In reply to GrimweaverArt [2016-05-16 00:17:55 +0000 UTC]

That's good. Hopefully, if they make an ES: 6, we'll be able to make mixed-race characters.

GrimweaverArt In reply to Ming-Sing [2016-05-16 00:35:10 +0000 UTC]

That would be great! All they have to do is let you choose what the character looks like with ALL options available and then pick what race they are, kind of like City of Heroes.

Ming-Sing In reply to GrimweaverArt [2016-05-16 00:53:45 +0000 UTC]

I would KILL if they incorporated other customization options like making your character with two different eye colors or making them chubby or thin kinda like in ESO.

Can you imagine if that fluff around the edges has two, beautiful different colored gems for eyes? Like an Amathyst eye and a deep, sea blue Sapphire eye?

Then maybe we can figure out what happened to the Dwarves. Can you imagine being able to build that giant ass Automatron from the ruins and have destroy all your enemies for you while you loot a crypt or something?

To defend your visage, the child of interracial relations is the race of the mother, but can take on qualities of the father. In this instance, he could be a "dark elf" but have human-tinted skin. If that's what you want to go with, of course.

So this is Lucien's and your Oblivion character's baby, the Dragonborn? Awwww!! SO sweet! And Ethaniel will get to see his daddy in ghost form, too, if he joins the DB. What happens to your Oblivion character between Obliv and Skyrim?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

GrimweaverArt In reply to sereneparity [2012-08-07 21:40:31 +0000 UTC]

Malkhai continues to serve as a Listener until about 20 4E, then she retires her position with Lucien and serves the Brotherhood by providing a haven for assassins at their estate (which becomes a small village over time) and assists them with directions, training, etc...

Of course later on Lucien dies of natural causes because he's only human. Malkhai, being an elf, has many more years ahead of her. She copes with the loss by finding ways to distract herself- adventuring mostly, so she's away from the home more often.

Then Malkhai moves to Skyrim with Ethaniel and Syan (Eth's sister) and settles in the village known now as Westhaven. They always lived in a very secluded place so they are hardly affected by the horrible things the Thalmor are doing at about this time.

So she's still alive, just not doing much DB stuff anymore

Did Malkhai save Lucien from the other speakers, then, at Applewatch?

I love your character's story.
