This is elf practice, probably. #DTPYSDEC25
Braids, an elezen from final fantasy XIV, poses for the viewer. She is nude except for a long red ribbon wrapped around her body.

My wife’s altmer dragonborn! In this house we love a horrible elf.

(Technically both he and the model I used for this have underwear on, but tagging for nudity anyway because the shadows make that hard to see.)
An altmer man sits, nude aside from underwear, with one leg raised and one down. He has long white hair and gold facepaint that goes from beneath his eyes to the base of his chin in two long stripes. A closeup of the face from the previous image. The whites of the man’s eyes are gold (as is normal for altmer from the elder scrolls universe). A section of his long hair is braided. In this image he is not wearing face paint.

This one’s just a fairly 1:1 copy of the model, but I might turn this pose into a Faris picture sometime. It feels pretty Faris to me. Big YARR energy.
Digital image mimicking a pencil drawing. A woman in armour with long hair smirks at the viewer with a sword in one hand and a small shield in the other.

More portrait practice with my beautiful not-elf who insists that she is an elf
Bertille, my Oblivion Hero of Kvatch. She is a slight woman with pointed ears.

Some stuff from the sketchbook (surprise, it’s more of my hero of kvatch and puk’s horrible dragonborn)
Pencil drawing (edited slightly in procreate) of Bertille, my player character from Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. She is a slight woman with slightly pointed ears. She looks over one shoulder. Pencil drawing (edited in procreate to fix errors) of my wife’s dragonborn from Elder Scrolls: Skyrim. He is an altmer (an elf) with pointed ears and long, very straight hair. He holds a knife in one hand and looks down with a condescending smirk.

Sometimes my wife says things and I threaten to document them for the internet. And then she tries to call my bluff.

Incidentally I think she is in fact a writer, and not a demon who feeds on the suffering of fictional people.
Comic, two panels. Narration: Telling my wife that she wrote a very powerful depiction of grief. Panel 1: My beautiful wife (depicted in a hat and glasses) looks very cute while smiling and saying “Thanks!” Panel 2: My beautiful wife ceases to be cute and her glasses become opaque as she leans in, pressing her fingers together as she shares her evil plan. She says “It’s gonna get WORSE”. Still smiling though (less cutely). Me (depicted in a beret) and my beautiful wife (depicted in a hat and headphones and glasses) as set across from each other at a table. Wife: You’re looking at me. Me: I’m drawing you. Wife: STILL.

Sir Gawain of Wayrest and Taliesin Skyrim (both disasters)
Sketch page featuring two characters, an altmer man and a breton wearbear man. In one of them, the breton is a bear and the altmer is celebrating having an animal around. In another the altmer is talking about his cats and the breton is listening fondly but looks like he has been listening fondly for the past few hours. Another features the altmer calling the breton the ‘bear minimum’ and clarifying that he’s calling him short. In the last, the altmer is dashing forward into battle, heroically shouting ‘If you want him, you’ll have to get through me.’ The breton, with a shield and armour because he is this party’s actual tank, is bemused by this.

More indulgent tes character doodles. Accidentally re-invented dwarves while trying to nail down my knight guy’s design, oops.
An altmer man with a prominent facial burn scar holding his daughter. She’s babysplaining things to him that he literally just told her 20 seconds ago. He is delighted about it. The same daughter 20 years later, responding to someone who said her habit of casual necromancy is gross and offputting. She says ‘Like you’re not carrying around a whole skeleton right now’. That doesn’t count, Bertille. A bearded man with a ponytail and very bushy eyebrows. He looks determined.

The three types of horrible goblins (bretons) in my skyrim playthroughs:

1) Paladin who can’t paladin because ‘pray’ and ‘bear’ are the same button
2) Normal unsuspicious not-a-reachman whose organs are all made out of the normal stuff for organs to be made of.
3) Weeb but for elfs

Humanity (cover image for puk’s book playlist)
Naomi and Lionheart from By Blood and Salt. Lionheart has long white hair, black thorned horns, pale skin and very distinctive facial features. Naomi’s face is softer and rounder. She has darker, very densely freckled skin and pink hair worn in two buns. She is wearing colourful clothing and makeup. They are sharing a pair of (deeply anachronistic in the setting) wired earbuds, plugged into Naomi’s phone. Naomi leans her head up into Lionheart as they both enjoy the music.

Vampire part 2
Naomi and Lionheart again, in line and solid gray. Naomi's face is rounder and Lionheart's is not at all round. Triangle is the vampire shape, as we all know.

Oh fuck that's a vampire
In-progress image of Naomi and Lionheart from By Blood and Salt. Lionheart has a very thin face and very defined features.

'a man's man'. 'a girl's girl'.

okay but have you considered
Screenshot from skyrim featuring an enemy called 'necromancer's necromancer'. Said enemy is also naked because I liked their robe.

My wife (very small) next to a sign that says 'tall guy'. Incorrect.

My only strongly held opinion on writing as a craft.
A discord conversation. Person 1: Also writing this out made me realise I have very high standards for my fanservice which is a hilarious thing to realise Person 2: omg Person 1: Like oh my god you can't just say she was in a pretty dress at a nice party with a cute boy you have to say how the dress is the NICEST dress and she's a rowdy fightgirl and so it's SO NICE in comparison to what she's used to and she feels dwarfed by its fanciness and overwhelmed but also the silk is so smooth against the calluses on her hands and the party is SO nice and there are cheeses with names she can't even pronounce and the boy is SO cute

Pretty pleased with one of today's studies

Naturally, I managed to get extremely sick for the first week of the portrait bootcamp, so I'm behind. I managed to get a portrait done for this week, though, even if it's just a study I slapped some colour on

(orig. image from the @trueref.bsky.social sapphire pack)
Portrait of a woman against a pale, bare background. Her hair is tied back in a bun and she is looking out at the viewer.

My wife:
Kermit the frog, not impressed by my extremely good joke.

The energy I'm bringing into 2025. Me, a lesbian, i am going to cut people in half. Also use more interrobangs.
Panel from the manga Rose of Versailles. Oscar, a woman who dresses in a masculine manner, shouts 'Me, A lesbian!? I am going to cut her in half!?'

Study (of sorts) from @trueref.bsky.social 's latest pack. I enrolled myself in @sylessae.bsky.social 's portrait bootcamp as a christmas present, and so I wanted to do a 'before' image. Hopefully I'll have an 'after' I'll be excited to share in a few months!

(and inbetweens in the meantime)
A woman looks out at the viewer. She has long orange hair and is holding a candle, which illuminates her face. She is wearing a white dress that reveals her shoulders. Behind her, the smoke from the candle twists into a hand that reaches out to touch her cheek.

Tigger the cat flopped on her side, inviting the viewer to pet her extremely soft belly (danger).
