Description I began drawing Leara in the car while it was raining. I wanted nothing more than to get away from the motion on the road and the noise of my fellow passengers so that I could go to sleep. I didn't get to do that, but Leara did, and she obviously had a lot of stuff she was doing before she got around to sleeping. Over the next week, I drew Jolinar and Artanis in a like fashion, mainly in an easy chair or the doctor's office (it wasn't even for my own checkup) and then they ended up in a folder in a drawer and I forgot about them for some four or five months before I cleaned my room, went through EVERYTHING, and found them.

Now I'm letting you look at them.

Leara is on top, asleep in Windstad after a trying day of listening to Lydia and Valdimar bicker over the latest bounties for thieves *ahem*Jolinar*ahem* and working on her Destruction theory. She's also been snacking in bed and reading bad family accounts of madness *ahem*Wabbjack*ahem*, She's also, somewhat, paranoid.

Jolinar is in the middle, face planting her pillow in the Arch Mage's quarters without her blanket, despite it being freakishly cold. Obviously exhausted from her successful but risky heist, as her dress and slippers are thrown on the bed and floor, her quiver and staff discarded, and her bow being no where in sight, she dragged out her old rabbit for security.

Artanis is on the bottom, sleeping rather soundly in Heljarchen, though with her daggers still in hand and her collection of blades scattered around her, she's subconsciously anticipating a break-in, likely from the same thief who had taken the strange pink stone from under Kodlak's nose. She tried to stay awake, but reading couldn't keep her up.

You can now imagine the strange little story hidden within those three paragraphs.

For the full size and the best detail, I suggest downloading.

I also considered Sleepful in Skyrim as a title, but Sleepful isn't a word.

Yeah. on the one hand, she is technically Leara's boss, on the other hand, she leads the thieves that get under the skin of the Dragonborn and the Companions. That's why she's my problem child.
