Description
After being stuck slaving away in the city her whole life, Gemile can’t help but feel a sliver of excitement as she looks at the beauty of the new home she’s been patiently waiting for for years.
What do you think of the cottage in the background? Could Martin’s childhood home look something like that? I dunno. As long as it has a loft. I like lofts.
You might be wondering why this one looks so much nicer than most of the others. It’s for a uni assignment. In our groups we had to pick two themes. We had comics as an optional theme. I chimed in with the others to keep that theme. And then, when picking the second theme, I casually suggested, off the top of my head, say, monochrome? They agreed! Haha, suckers, jokes on you.
From now on I’m going to do these comics only in monochrome. I tried sepia, and I never really got the hang of it. It looks gross. Also, I had thought that Basil would be young, like 24, but ya know what? I’m making him more mature and weathered. Yaimiko said she thought he was in his thirties, and now I agree with her. He’s been in the army for twenty years, not a measly seven! That would make him quite a bit older than Gemile, but it makes sense. He’s been unavailable fighting in foreign countries for most of his life, where as someone like Gemile would have been snapped up quickly. Sorry, I do change things in this comic a lot. Like a certain person’s trait is going to change colour.
So after this, it’s about time I finished the comic of Princess Vorechetzia so we can see what she has painted! After that, do you have any subjects you would like focused on in the next comic? So far unexplored characters would probably include the Empress Consort Caula Voria, Princess Vorechetzia and Prince Ebel - although he isn’t so important in the story. Or are there comics that I left up in the air and you think it’s high time I jolly finished them!
My pre-arena Elder Scrolls IV AU called “Implications of a Royal Bastard”.
An Imperial soldier returns home from war to discover that his wife, a former scullery maid, has been impregnated by none other than Emperor Uriel Septim VII, after a union of dubious consent. Devastated but knowing that her life will be ruined if he abandons her, he takes her and the child - named Martin - to a small farm. Moving on is made nigh impossible as he clashes heads with the father, insistent on intruding in on their lives to visit his new little boy. However, the royal family of Septims is having domestic problems of their own. The Emperor struggles with a miserable marriage with his indomitable wife, while his teenage son, Crown Prince Geldal, is faced by the premature meeting with his childhood betrothed, a pure-hearted young princess forced to live with them as a political hostage.
(Gemile is an expanded lore character mentioned by Caius Cosades if you were wondering)
