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)

Oh my. This is unbeliably beautiful. It even managed to bring me back to my childhood memories in the country.

During early childhood I used to live in southern Moravia (a part of a country called Czech Republic) . English isn't my First language, and I'm not very good at describing things, but I will try my best.
It's a region very famous for it's wine, which reflects both in landscape and it's people. Imagine endless vineyards with clusters of both red and white grapes, fields of rapeseed flowers and sprawling forests set to a backdrop of rolling hills and a distant mountain range.

The towns, castles and villages themselves were mostly rebuilt in the baroque style, and many buildings stay that way until today. So many historical buildings and castels intergrated with modern architecture (and some leftovers from the ussr). The country side itself is mostly modern-ish (or modernised versions of older houses - they are actually very good at keeping the tempreature stable) , with the exception of historicaly significant buildings left intact, with large fields dedicated to farming (potatoes, wheat etc.) or for animals to roam free . If I were to compare it to cities and areas in Cyrodiil, the closest thing would be a combination of Skingrad (wine production, the castle itself and surrounding landscape) and Bruma (the general feel of the larger towns and some houses, minus the never ending winter). This is at least the Oblivion version - that game made Cyrodiil into a cookiecutter medieval Europe anyway.
I tend to ramble a lot, sorry about that. I hope it made at least a bit of sense 😅.

I always loved New Zealands nature, I hope I can visit there one day. And the unique style you gave Cyrodiil is what drew me to your art in the first place (and the story, of course) , I really love it. And If I might ask, what is the name of the Czech artist?
