Hi, I'm Noodles!
✨✨✨

I'm a Senior Capture Artist currently working at Zenimax Online Studios, primarily creating marketing and promotional images. I've also done some worldbuilding in a few zones.

Here are just a few of my favourite pieces I've worked on! ♥️

A promotional image for The Elder Scrolls Online that pictures people at a harvest-themed party. In the foreground is a table with platters and bottles -- grapes, cheese, wine, meat, honey, corn. Four characters sit at the table holding their food and drinks, joking with one another. One clinks glasses with cheery Beragon. Next to him is Alea, who holds a glass up away from a dog excitedly jumping. In the background, Mizzik leans against the side of the huge fireplace, which lights the entire room with warmth. Gadayn and Leramil are in the distance. Fennorian is leaning on the bar countertop. Scruut is holding two bottles inquisitively.

A promotional image for Elder Scrolls Online. It's a party scene within a Telvanni mushroom house. Naryu leans suavely against the bar, holding a glass of wine as she gives her attention to Sharp-As-Night. Ashur is between them, listening intently. A little guar pet eats from a plate of veggies. Leramil and Gadayn are sitting at a table together, toasting. Azandar is reading a book while Scruut peaks over the back of the chair curiously. Malkhest reads a scroll nearby. A bright fire burns in the background.

A promotional image for Elder Scrolls Online for Hearts Day. It's a POV of you spending a moonlit evening with Fennorian. A lit candle sits to the right, next to a wine bottle. You and Fennorian each have a piece of cake waiting on the table. He is holding up a glass of wine, toasting you, gazing with fondness, chin leaning against his other hand. Moonbeams pour in through the ivy climbing the balcony railing and roof.

A promotional image for Elder Scrolls Online. It's a chaotic scene of a castle under siege by Mehrunes Dagon and his realm. He is titan-sized, leaning over the ruined castle walls to glare menacingly at the heroes trying to stop him. Eveli is amongst them, bow drawn. Fires burn across the scene.

A screenshot of Dragon Age Veilguard. It's an underground cave made of gigantic, blue crystals. A wide walkway leads to tall steps and a shrine. Two inert constructs guard the entry.

A screenshot of Dragon Age Veilguard. Emmrich's room at the Lighthouse. It's a tall library warmed by the light of the fireplace and the dawn sunlight. A grand spiral staircase winds to the second floor.

A screenshot of Dragon Age Veilguard. It's a scene of a farm in the Hossberg Wetlands. It's eerie and misty, lit by bright moonlight coming through dark clouds.

"You could have waited inside, my dear Warden."
"And where's the fun in that, huh? I thought I'd meet you halfway, save some time."
"Oh, a perfect moment to waste that time now, then."

Help. I'm so deep.
#dragonage

An illustration featuring Zevran Arainai and Warden Ulric Cousland from Dragon Age Origins sort of squished in -- what appears to be a second level of backalley?? SORT OF? Because this is how Zevran tells this story anyway.

The whole scene is set into Antiva - so the architecture is stylized to look like Venice with the red and teal tones, white ledges and cracked walls.

Ulric - the warrior with a massive scar on his face, is standing on some sort of convenient portal in the alley, leaning against the wall, while Zevran, the blond elven rogue dressed in a cape slid (or climbed? one never knows with Zev) down the alley and his holding himself up in between the two walls, dagger stabbed on one side above Ulric's head for leverage. Their faces are *very* close to each other, about to kiss, Ulric caressing Zev's chin playfully. The sun is lighting up Zev's hair.

The alley is partly overgrown by ivy. In the foreground there are little ropes with little flags.

Nixmori 🔮 Witching Ho @nixmori.bsky.social · 14d

It’s #EMMRICHWEEK2025 !!!

I’ve made a fan comic, where each page was based (sometimes loosely) on the daily prompts, woven into a very self-indulgent and flufftacular story, featuring my Rook: Laelia Aldwir. I’ll post 1-2 pages a day!

Day 1: #Necromancy

{ #nixmoriarty | #DragonAge }

Emmrich from Dragon Age the Veilguard performs necromancy to animate a skull. Painting style is based on Leyendecker’s art deco character paintings, with very warm tones and a black background. Emmrich’s hands are raised, with turquoise magic flowing through his figures and through ye skull, which is levitating to about chest high. He stands in front of a podium, with candles to the left, and a pile of skulls sitting on a red cloth to the right.

In the cover version of this illustration, there is the comic title “Adoration” with the subtitle “A Fan Comic By Nixmori.”

The first page of the comic has a very limited color palette, with the background in blue/gray and Emmrich and Laelia in monochrome warm tones to stand out from the background. Their speech bubbles are a light pink for her, a light green for him.

She says: “I do love watching you work.”
He appears surprised in the first panel: “Oh! Darling—you’re early!”
She is sat on a railing, with pillars next to her covered in vines. Wisps dance playfully around her. She replies: “Hehe… pardon me, if I startled you. I was just enjoying the view.”

[ #ocsky #originalart #trigun #art ]

my oc glimsprout wearing various outfits. The page decorated with marigolds that match their flower head.

a blue-black cat with closed eyes, they’re standing on a mirror with infernal eyes and claws framing it. Below the mirror is the same cat, but eyes open and dark with a red pupil- looking straight at the viewer. The background is black filled worn red windows and outlines of clouds drifting through. Sparkles of red, turquoise, navy and orange decorate the empty black space.

wolfwood as a large moth holding a small Vash moth in his hand. The scene has a soft spotlight on vash, wolfwood slightly is shadow.

destroying angel mushroom portrayed as a nonbinary form, their 4 eyes and head half obscured by a white cap of mushroom, a long gown proofing out and spreading along the arms as wings. Surrounding them are clouds of neon green clouds of spores, thorned stalks rise up, holding soft white skulls.

Running a little late but here I am back with #FatBatWeek extended.
This little lad is one of my favourite species – the NZ short-tailed bat, pollinator of the flower of Hades with frybread and a offbrand L&P.
@nzbatman.bsky.social @forestandbird.bsky.social @batcon.org

A little brown bat with pointy ears and a cheerful smile is perched on top of golden brown cubes of frybread. The plate the food is stacked on is based on Crown Lynn ware, a kiwi pottery. Behind the place is a parody of L &P, a local lemonade, but with the label change to read FBW in large yellow letters beneath which is fact that week and "batty good stuff 2025 quote on a red banner.
