Description
After a long break, I fired up Skyrim again to see how my Dragonborns were doing. One of them was adventuring on Solstheim with her husband Athis, but I found myself unable to progress with her save because I spent too much time gazing at Athis standing majestically on the sea shore, clad in Nordic Carved Armour and looking ridiculously handsome.
They were near Ancarion’s boat, so I remembered this drawing by fav.me/d5ufuqg
and decided Athis had to be drawn with his hair flapping fabulously in the wind, too!.. And then his chibi wife just sorta jumped in.
I hope he looks faboo enough. In the initial sketch he looked like Azog the Defiler.

Oh wow... DAT HAIR! DAT GREAT FLOWING MANE OF COPPER!!!
This has to be one of your best pictures of Dunmer (besides that angsty but awesome picture of your Illa). His eyes and strong Dunmeri facial features are positively gorgeous!
I love your cute chibi, love-struck Sveta in the background; adds your trademark of humour to this magificant piece of Athis being beautiful!

Bask! Bask in its glory!
Thank you! It was one of those instances when you draw someone and fall in love.. Too bad I'm no Pygmalion, huh?
Aww, it's so great that you appreciate the addition of the chibi! Many thanks for your incredibly sweet comment!

Ooooh, the glory of Athis' hair!
You're welcome! 
Aye... Life would have been so much greater if beautiful Dunmers like Athis come into existence as easy as that.
Daww, you're very and always welcome Norr!

You so should!... For the male fans besides Athis~

Awww, Sveta would claim that she has none.

Oh, that's just her typical modesty; an aspect of her that I really do enjoy!

OMG. This. is. Incredible!! =O *jaw drops*
Please take nothing but compliment from what I say: This is the most incredibly realistic face I've seen you draw. I love the chibis and all your drawings to death- and this one kicks your 'self-taught' talk into the spotlight. Meaning, one superiorly superior achievement. Beautiful!! ...just let me gaze at him for a good long (creeperly) while.
His nose! Those eyes....RAWR. That smirk on his lips *drools*... And the foreshortening on the ear! You hit the nail on the head. And using so few, precious lines! I'm in awe.
And then of course- the colours! Gorgeous blues and pinks, grey and sparkly white- then bam! Rrred!! (rolled 'r' like Zev) 
Ah man...those sparkles!! *squeeee!!* Thank you Sveta for summing up my reaction to 1. Your Hubby 2. This incredible drawing.
(Azog? That's funny! Though he's not bad for a Middle Earth Orc- I'd say Athis, ah, majorly tips the scales on that regard.) <3 Fabooliss!!!

Oh goodness, thank you so much!
Sometimes I take my time to take a screenshot of the NPC face, then copy the features in pencil, and THEN trace the pencil in Photoshop. I don't do it often, though, because it takes up so darn much time. 
Heh, don't let the few lines fool you... In pencil he looked awfully messy, since I kept getting the nose wrong (oh, involuntary Tangled reference!). And Azog-ey, because I added the hair in Photoshop. 
I do love drawing hair digitally - and adding sparkles to the eyes! So thank you kindly for appreciating!
The smirk is something I am especially proud of, since in the screenshot he had a different expression, so I drew it without a crutch. 
Eeeh, at level 40-something, a proud Harbinger in the middle of the Dragonborn questline, Sveta still can't get over her hubby.
Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart! For a hobbyist like me, the appraisal of a proper artist truly means a lot, and I'm never tired of saying this!

Well I happen to love all the drawings you come up with!
lol now I'm curious about how Athis looks shaved... But for now- he most assuredly is drool worthy.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yay! Now I can feel less insecure!
Hmmm... A shaved Athis... I wonder at the circumstances where he'd get shaved... Going to prison, maybe? For assaulting the Black-Briar heir, hah! (So. Many. Ideas!)
I'm pretty sure Eol squealed too - or whatever noises he makes instead of squealing.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oooh no! Not the hair! (In a Gimli-esque roar)
Oh my, but did he. An Eol-squeal translates to something of a grumbling grunt...

*remembers the Morrowind Dunmer* Oh, I dunno, it can be pretty cute in my book.

Haha! Exactly what I was picturing! xD

Wow, he's certainly fabulous! The face especially looks great, you've certainly improved a lot!
(Hmm well Azog does not look too bad for an orc, unlike Gothmog!

Aww, thank you kindly! There are days when I have a lot of free time and actually take the effort to make characters look ldecent.
(Yeah, I agree!

Miraak will have to wait while the Dragonborn flails over her husband.

LOL, this is awesome, Norr! Great job on his face n' hair! *___*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oooh, thank you so much! 
I am glad he ended up looking like himself, and not Azog the Defiler.
And speaking of hair, when I drew that mane, I suddenly remembered a scene from our local cellphone commercial: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bw5EIE…
