Description Whew! I haven't shaded anything to this extent in ages.

If you didn't see the WIP, this is my take on pre-crazy Cicero after he's been elected Keeper. He's wearing the Dark Brotherhood armor from Oblivion because he hasn't gone jester yet, and that's what I last saw everyone in Cheydinhal wearing. He's leaning against the Night Mother's coffin, pondering his new role.

Those kneepads have protected poor Cicero from many an arrow, I'm sure.

Dedicated to *Ayleid since her birthday is coming up, and her artwork and personality make me smile. XD

I love this! It's so rare that anyone else draws him in his Cyrodillic armor. He looks so good in it that that's all I draw him in now! XD

I've had such brain candy of how Cicero looked, pre-jester. And now, I have something to work off of!

The kneepad thing made me laugh! ^_^
And I LOVE this picture!!! Love it love it love it! I didn't like the Skyrim Shrouded armor much. Too Morag Tong like with it's very obvious red. And he suits black well!

Happy to make you smile! ^^

I preferred the Oblivion Dark Brotherhood armor too. Speaking of the Morag Tong, did you notice that if you become guildmaster of the Thieves' Guild and talk to your fellow thieves, one of them admits to having once been in the Morag Tong?

This was particularly amusing for me because I was also Listener at that time, and had Cicero as my companion while talking to him. I just picture my character having a look on her face like "Morag Tong. Really. Do go on. By the way, you have no idea who I am, do you?"

I'll admit... I never burned the bee hives. >.> I get soooooo side tracked with other questlines, I just forget about it! My first PC in a game usually does ALL the quest lines as a static personality, but... I moved to another computer and lost all my saves. My second, and current, character is IN character. And her character, being Dark Brotherhood to the core--from 200 years ago (Oh, yes, I went there! She's Cyrodiilic and all!), she thinks the Thieves' Guild is a joke.

Maybe my next character will get around to it. LOL I love Brinjolf. He makes me laugh... but I hate being called "Lass", so... he also gets on my nerves!

Love Cicero though. He makes my day! I'm about to take him, and Lucien, for the "peace talk" with the Gery Beards. Thank Sithis I have the captions turned on, or I would never get anything done! Those two talk sooooo much!

This is amazing! I love how you stuck with the Oblivion armour (Which I prefer) I love all the effort you put into this as well, this needs more faves!!! It'll be going into mine for sure.

All this Cicero artwork is motivating me to get off my butt and do some myself.

zoe1718 In reply to lostgirl19 [2012-01-23 16:40:00 +0000 UTC]

I'm rather fond of the Dark Brotherhood armor from Oblivion too. It seems a bit stealthier to me.

Thank you. ^^ And naturally I'm going to advocate more Cicero art!

This is absolutely brilliant! I love his expression and the pose. You did a really great job on the notebook and feather, as well as the hair and all of the little details on the armor. Well done!
