A Bit Too Late To Submit For @nerevar-quote-and-star Pin-up Challenge But I Loved The Prompt Ideas Sm

A bit too late to submit for @nerevar-quote-and-star pin-up challenge but I loved the prompt ideas sm that I couldn't resist painting spellcrafting Ildari :3

Guys, I lied to you.

Remember my past posts with presumably "Neloth and his mom"? (all of them pictured below)

Well, his how-would-I-imagine-his-mom was only on the last of the three pics. The previous ones - well, I had a Telvanni OC for years that I was afraid to show to the world 😅 (an oc that would be a Neloth's gf and would have a cute baldie child with him).

Well, I have a Dunmer OC and her name is Schisandra.

______________________

Damn, I know that is stupid but I was terribly afraid of admitting that I have an OC.

Especially that I live in this Tesblr rabbithole of artists that publish on daily basis their OC with their favourite blorbos. This is a really baseless fear but what was I most afraid of was being laughed at (bc ofc your own OC means a world to you and you would'nt like to hear that they are "stupid"). That's why I such a "coming out" out of this😅.

_______________________

If you are reading this, hesitating whether to publish your OC or not - well, do it!

You will probably not find a friendlier place out on the Internet than Tesblr to share your fantasy content (at least I hope that is true xD).

This character sheet probably wouldn't exist if it wasn't for @thana-topsy 's wonderful art depicting a certain Dunmer wizard and the fanfic "Breathing Water".

Thanks :D

It's my 1 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

Tumblr was one of the best things that have ever happened in my life.

My whole past life I've been a loner with my thoughts and obsessions. I felt like there could never be a person with similar artistic sensitivity to mine - and artistic sensitivity means a world to me.

But turned out that there were - they were just far far away :D

Even though it's most likely that I'll never meet with people I got to know there they've took my life to the next level - made me fulfilled as an artist and a content creator as I never was before.

I thank for reblogs and likes and the wonderful tags and comments - I've read ALL of them <3

I wish all of you a nice day :3

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

This is canon

Hi! I really love your cute rodent art! Will you be posting anymore ratblr stuff? Thanks and have a great day! 😃

I will :3

Though it's hard to say when exactly and whether they will look like that popular post with pastel rodents. I really struggle with keeping a consitent art style, it feels like for every drawing another style would be more convenient ^^'

But I do love smol pink-nosed babies and you can for sure expect more of the ratty goodness, in this style or another :3
