Description A practice painting to test some new brushes in Krita, that went horribly right! I seriously have no idea how long I spent on this, but at least a few hours...

My Dunmer mage, Kayth Uth'Dal, more serious than usual. Being a vampire, and a potent magician, I feel sorry for the poor sod that made him mad. XD

There's actually a reason behind his hair color being two-tone. Something I will get into another time, or if someone asks. I can't resist blathering about my OCs when someone shows curiosity about them! 8D

Thank you! I did everything with Krita. It's a free program, a lot like photoshop, and works on both windows and linux; it's very nice! I love it.

It's called Krita. I'm sure you'll like it, it's a very well-made art program with many tools.

Wonderful piece, but I wish to ask if this guy a Vampire? I haven't noticed this piece submitted until now and Dunmer are incredibly hard to see if they're Vampires or not due to having natural red eyes... And I can't see any sight of Vampirism on him anywhere...

Thank you! And yes, he is, if you read the artist description, it states he is indeed a vampire. In addition, you're not supposed to see any traits, that's intentional, as I thought it was silly that no one in oblivion knows you're a vampire when you're freshly fed, when it's painfully apparent. And so, he looks normal, in order to make such a thing more logical. When he is not freshly fed, the vampirism starts to show, until it reaches it's final stage, where he looks very much a monster. I intend to draw such pictures eventually, when the motivation and inspiration strike me. ^^

It's okay. I make mistakes all the time, I'm glad you took the time to ask, and so politely! ^_^
I have actually changed a lot of TES rules for roleplay reasons. It frees things up quite a bit for me and my best friends when we write, gives us a lot more flexibility in plot-making and character creation. Like making half-breeds possible when they're not. XD My TES characters often step outside the original rules (cuz I'm so rebel like that ), so I expect that I must confuse people a lot. I should start putting disclaimers to make it more convenient for everyone. X3 lol

Hee! CX I hate it when people jump to conclusions too early before hearing others out, makes me want to puke when people do that. XC

Oooooh, dayum I haven't done any TF RPs in a long while actually. XD Ever since I moved onto Transformers, it's been a whole different story for me, I still remember the TES lore, it's just I don't have many people to RP with... And I can't find any TES RP'ers since they'd always want their way and little movement for my own OCs... XC Then again people don't also like the fact that I pretty much weaken my character a lot... I don't have them start off like... An average fighter, archer, and so on. Though I like developments so this way my OC can improve overtime of the RP. c:

Aye, I think disclaimers would help a lot. XD This way you can avoid the less polite people. D: I'd hate if someone were to just go blargh on ya 'n blow their tops off. D:

Agreed. XD

Hehhee I understand that. XD I tend to actually play over-powered OCs a lot, as I find it more fun, but within bounds agreed between me and my RP partner. :3 I've been told I'm actually pretty good about managing my OCs to not be all "god modding" and basically just sucking the fun out of everything for everyone else. XDΒ  For instance, Kayth has strong natural mysticism, so he hears thoughts, but I can easily find excuses to render his ability pretty unreliable, so he only hears from the character what they're creator wants him to hear. XD Same goes for any other ability, if it would be disruptive to the experience. Personally, people playing weak characters never bothered me, I enjoy variety and difference in situations, which is why I have weak OCs of my own. I focus on emotional and psychological development, which is why the power of my characters doesn't get in the way much for me. This is just how I roll! 8'D I'd honestly try and take the characters weakness, and use it to add more fun to the plot and give more reasons for my character to be involved for one reason or another. XD

I shall have to remember to do that, then!

Nicely done. That hair is great and I love the eyes too. He looks so ... I'm not sure. Almost scary, almost zen, and something between angry and contemplative.

Kalid909 In reply to Syreneln [2014-10-01 07:37:16 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! I'm really glad that he looks the way you describe, as it really suits part of his personality, when someone finally brings about his scorn, or he's faced with something that negatively effects him. (Like slavery. XD He doesn't like that Dunmer tradition... >.> )

He looks so handsome

Kalid909 In reply to Indiliel [2014-09-29 17:59:39 +0000 UTC]

Awww thank you so much!

He had a very difficult life, it's a looong story, but to shorten it by quite a bit, his vampiric master and teacher used him as a channel due to his powerful gift of mysticism, in order to divine the future and seal it in soul gems for her reference. It was such a drain on him, that most of his hair turned from black to white, and he went mostly mad. He wears jewelry enchanted to help hold his mind together so he can function properly. Currently he has no memories of his past, and only knows his hair is odd, and wears it to show the black because he likes it. XD

He's kind of a clueless lad without his memories.

The poor fellow !!!! Maybe it is better he does not remember what happened, but it is always uncomfortable not to know ones past.
That is a unique background story though

Thank you :3
that's very true, interestingly, though he doesn't remember, he's not often bothered. He's quite focused on the present, and the people who found him are helping him to make new, better memories.
