...YES, I'VE MADE A VISUAL NOVEL!!! 😂

Created this abomination a few months ago, maybe someone out there will enjoy it.

The adventure is settled in TES universum, yet has a strong Witcher-y feel to it (my second favourite fandom 😁). I've probably drifted a little off-canon in favour of storytelling. Prior acquaintance with ANY lore is unnecessary, though.

The game has several endings, and not all the choices are obvious at the first glance.

Making visual novels is a drudgery - but also so much fun! I have a few more ideas up my sleeve, but first I gotta see what would be the market for that, heh.

Feedback would be much appreciated (:

I got the idea for this game from one metal song, wonder if someone could guess which. 🤟

Heart of the Woods by Clavicula Nox

a short The Elder Scrolls fanmade visual novel

some stuff about the practice of ancestor veneration in velothi households

when a baby is born a grandparent or parent anoints it with ash from the hearth and introduces it to the house spirits by showing it to the waiting-door. the family member presenting the baby might also ask a particular spirit to serve as the baby's cardehn (ancestor-guardian); that ancestor is then expected to keep a close eye on the baby throughout its life and offer guidance, counsel, or protection when needed

on the other hand many families hold off on petitioning a specific ancestor to act as a newborn's cardehn so that the baby is free to choose for itself once it's old enough to decide. many children without an appointed cardehn wait until the passing of a close loved one (usually a family elder) and choose them

after your family's patron god and any very prominent or recently-deceased ancestors your cardehn is the first household spirit whom you're expected to invoke in prayer. when you're old enough you're also expected to take charge of the family's veneration of that particular ancestor by burning routine offerings for them

when a member of the household is dying a simple meal is set out in the room in which they're being tended; after the family member passes on their caretakers and any others who kept vigil at the deathbed eat half of the meal they'd prepared. the other half is burnt as an offering for the spirit or spirits who came to help the deceased "through the fire" (fire, particularly one's hearthfire, being considered a passage between the realms of life and death in the velothi consciousness)

when mourning a loved one it's customary in some families to cut off a lock of your hair and burn it as an offering in addition to the usual offerings of food. cutting and burning all of one's hair is a wild expression of grief that's usually only performed by people who have lost a loved one unexpectedly or parents who have lost a child

I wonder why

Fear no more the heat o' the sun Nor the furious winters' rages...

Illustrations to Loreena McKennit's song "Cymbeline" [based on a Shakespeare's poem] About the consolation in the inevitability of your death, ofc.

I don't think I'm ever gonna illustrate the whole song [which is beautiful btw] so have the scraps :>

Happy extremely belated Valentine's Day! I've been struggling to draw these characters of mine for awhile now, so I thought what better way to figure them out than animating them.

I love drawing happy Dunmer granddads :)

He's cuter than most of the children.

Dug up some old drawing from the era I was interested in concept art.

I didn't draw it ALL BY MYSELF, it's just an edited/overpainted photo to make him look more fun :)

Do you think that a reading campaign posters would be more successfull if they featured cute baby Telvanni wizards?🥺
