I've been drawing too many pretty yung Voryns. Time to back my azz up into my comfort zone of old wrinkly bony old men! I think all these faces are fairly attractive. Do ya think the Nerevarine will still find his ex pretty? :3c
The ones based on the sleepers' ascent through corprus (including some of his brother Dagoths) are just for fun! I don't think he'd look like the sleepers since he's THE Dagoth. I do like to think he's desiccated his body through self-inflicted disease, but the corpus hits different when you're the dude who made it. There's something so fun about no physical eyes... or even a face in the case of the ascended sleepers!
The versions without lips appeal to me because his "body" hisses at you during his boss fight, yet his voice is loud and clear in your mind. His voice is just psychic emissions. While his "body", whether it's a projection or his true body, has its vocal cords rotted away from disuse, disease, and deformation. He ain't using his voice for no one but YOU, sweet Nerevar!
I think my personal headcanons veer towards him just looking really old and slightly burnt. Burnt from living in a volcano, or the Tribunal tossing his body in lava after killing him. But he can stretch his jaws to look like the toothy concept art that Mr. Kirkbride drew. Cuz I like teeth and tendons!
If the body you see is just a projection, why would he project himself all singed and corpsey and masked? Rather than an idealized form, like Vivec has created? Or any shapeshifting that Daedra may partake in?
Perhaps a projection from the soul can't hide the ugliness and sadness. He's been through a lot. He's died and rebirthed like 10 times. Be nice, even when he threatens to killy everyone.
Much to think about.
While I'm promoting museum visits. The Morgan Library's exhibit on the women of Mesopotamia ends February 19. If I had the time, I'd fly to New York just to see it. If I had the time, I'd be there right now.
Mushroom monday 🍄 by pixiiwo
I got a request for Greek Gods as things I’ve overheard, and since school is- quite possibly the best place for these things, I figured why not!
Zeus: “Bold of you to assume that I can’t be more of an asshole.” Poseidon: “People never drink water in class. Drink water throughout class. Drink water instead of class. Don’t go to class.” Hades: “My math grade is almost lower than my will to live.” Hestia: “Sometimes I just want to sit in that fire pit and roast marshmallows as I let the ashes reclaim me.” Demeter: “They said we need more plants around. Replace me with a plant.” Hera: “I need feminism because clearly my future husband is going to be a dumbass and I want to prove I’m better.” Athena: “I like the smell of old books.” *proceeds to stuff face into textbook* Hermes: “I can steal your heart, yes- but can I steal myself a personality?” Apollo: “Music class these days is just idiots trying to find happiness.” Artemis: “I just want to be gay with an instinct to kill.” Hephaestus: “I want to build myself a girlfriend.” Aphrodite: “Maybe one day people will appreciate my inner beauty and not my numerous pimples.” Dionysus: “Time to get DRUNK!” *chugs water bottle* Persephone: “I love flower crowns. They make me want to-” *cracks knuckles* “Kick ass.”
what if the priest didn’t really bless the water? what if he was just playing around? how do I know if I’m being sprayed with regular or holy water?
