I don't want to be discouraged from sharing my hard work because of a few individuals with thieving tendencies, don't ruin this for me. Thanks.

1 hour speedpaints of the ten playable races in the Elder Scrolls games.
This was really interesting for me to do, I reccomend it to anyone who wants some practice, if you want a blank version just note me. I used the race sheets that Bethesda released as reference. [link] just googled 'Skyrim then the race'

Question for you lovely deviants, should I do Extinct/other races of Tamriel next or this same one but the genders I've missed.

Altmer, Argonians, Bosmer, Bretons, Dunmer, Imperials, Khajiit, Nords, Orsimer and Redguards © Bethesda

I've done one of the other races of Tamriel

What about all the argonian sub breeds and "savages" like Minotaurs, goblins, dryads, and ogres?

Yeah, maybe I'll make another one of these at some point.

They are all amazing but your real talent is with the elves (my fave 2 are the Altmer and Dunmer)

Thank you so much! I have a bit of a thing for elves... I guess that shows.

I love the new Elves in Skyrim. I always hated the Elves of Tolkein and other fantasy genres.

Great work!

I think you should do the other genders.
* I think the best two are the Argonian and Orc, which are very very detailed and show personality.
* I think the worst two are the Imperial and the Breton, which are quite generic human - the Imperial in particular looks really snooty, like she has a bad smell under her nose.
* All three of the elves are great (or all four, if you include Orsimer, but I already mentioned him).
* I can't work out whether the Khajiit is supposed to be male or female though (don't they usually wear jewellery of some sort regardless of gender?).
* The Nord creeps me out a bit because of his blind eye, but I shall blame my own prejudice for that.
* I really don't know what to say about the Redguard. It's a good painting, but she doesn't evoke "Redguard" to me. Doesn't help that I haven't touched Skyrim in 9 months, and Oblivion Redguards look quite a bit different, so that may be all. But to me she looks like an attractive Black woman from Earth, rather than a Redguard. (Sorry if that's a stupid comment).

TobyFoxArt In reply to baratron [2013-02-18 22:55:31 +0000 UTC]

Thank you for the feedback.
The personalities they have, were both happy accidents actually, because I was working with unfamiliar faces, but I liked it and so the expressions stayed.
I don't like the Imperial much, I guess the human races didn't inspire me much and so I spent less time on them or cared less or somethig
Thanks I like the elves.
Khajiit is male, that's why there's the mane things coming from his cheeks, the females don't have them.
Creepy Nords are good.
I think the Redguards in game are leaner than I've painted her. I started her out and thought she looked like someone I know and not a Redguard so much, but I liked the actual painting so in it went...

Nice work on all of them.
But Redguard hairs are something that get soo much of my attention. Fits to this race.

Extinct races would be nice, and my favourites are the Altmer, Breton and Orc. I just love Bretons you did a great job portraying the human races with their usual looks! I'm fangirling

Fangirling is fine, awesome really!
The humans were interesting enough to do, but I think the Orc was the most unusual for me to paint.

Fomalhaut48 [2013-02-10 18:48:37 +0000 UTC]

I prefer the Altmer on this one, she is lovely.

And I vote for the extinct races.

I do like her too, not my fave, but I love her expression, she's so stern... and sexy.

elspethaurilie [2013-02-10 18:19:57 +0000 UTC]

One vote for Extinct/other races.

I can't believe this is a speed paint. My favorites are the Bosmer and the Redguard. I really like the facial features on the Redguard. I think that's the one that is the most expressive.

I find it easy painting skin and hair now, practice makes perfect I suppose, though I'm certainly not perfect yet. But yeah, 'tis easy to do it quickly when I leave the line work on.
She's my favourite as well. I'm thinking about maybe doing a piece with just her.
