Art of Your Characters! - Elsy's Not-So-Daily Pencil Sketches

Well hello there!

I decided it would be good for me to do some daily drawings. Practice makes perfect and all that. Though, seeing as I'm typically lacking a muse, I thought it would be fun to do some quick pencil sketches of some ESO characters. So I figured, what better place to look for said characters than here?

If you'd like a little art done of your character(s), please feel free to reply with a screenshot, and if you wouldn't mind, a link to your character sheet would help. It'll not only help me in capturing your character(s)' personality, it will help me get to know you all a bit better. You can give me any or all of your characters as long as you reply with separate posts for each, and if you'd like me to attempt to draw your character with one or more others, as long as you give me a screenshot reference of everyone in the same post, I can sure give it a shot!

Please, don't expect these drawings to be completely finished life renderings of your characters. These are only sketches, and let's just say I've got a lot of room for improvement. :anxious: I've left some examples below so that you can get a feel for what these sketches will look like. I may also not get to do one a day as much as I'd love to (especially once I leave for vacation). But it will be something I return to, and I will try to get to everyone who posts (no matter how long it takes). I thank you in advance for your understanding.

Anyways, if you really like yours for some odd reason, you can leave a little tip in my inbox in-game (@Sweet_Roll_Thief), but it is in no way necessary or expected. In fact, you'll be helping me out just by allowing me to draw. :)

If you have any questions, suggestions, constructive criticisms, or desires, please feel free to ask. Y'ffre's blessings all, and thank you! <3

Sure, I'd like to help out a fellow artist :D Maybe I can return the favor with a drawing for you :thumb:

Those are awesome! Here is my main character Narise, a V12 sorcerer if you want to practice :)

Narise full body

I remade my character sheet as a Thalmor, but I haven't hardly participated in any of that RP. I gotta remake it again some time soon :)

@Jason Winters: I'd love that! Art trades are always great fun. Thanks! :D

@Arisel: Thank you! :)

-thoughtful- I'd love to do art trades with you, as well. :3
I need practice, too! ^^
In fact, I was thinking of opening up a thread similar to this one.

Always loved art.

I'm sure it's up to you though, whether the J'vani is worth a teeny sketch. ;p I plan on keeping her for a reasonably long time.

I will very shortly edit this with the information you requested in the original post.

This looks fun. Fortunately, I have a character sheet complete with pictures of its own to draw from.

@Jason Winters:

Finished! It was a lot of fun. I did take a few artistic liberties with what he was wearing. Hope you like it! Always makes me nervous drawing for other artists. ^^;
Let me know if you have any criticisms, as it helps me know what I'm doing wrong. Thank you! :)

Oh my GOD that is awesome I would LOVE a drawing of my character!!!
Here's a link to Ruindel here...


And here's some pics of her lol. I am very excited! :D

[EDIT]oh quick edit, she normally wields a bow, instead of the daggers. :geek:

As promised, I took a screenshot. This is the RP armor she normally wears.

There's a closer 'portrait' here. That's also the character-sheet.

Good luck and thank you.

Here is the sketch of Narise! Had some trouble with the face, but I think it looks alright. :)
Let me know what you think! Thanks!

Oh, and just so everyone knows what's going on, I will do a sketch daily (though sometimes I may skip a day, like yesterday) and I'm going in order by post. :)

Oh my god I love it :D!!!

Shiny. Can't want to see what you have in mind for Sarena's dual nature.

You're quite talented! They're very well done!

Gah, I tried. ;^;
I couldn't figure out the armor so I just went with the Ancient Elf since I recognized the shoulder pieces.
Hope you like it! And sorry for such a delay. I'm currently on vacation and I've been packing and getting ready the days prior.

More Great art!

Here is Ruindel! Bosmers are my favorite to draw so I enjoyed this one. Took some artistic libraries with the armor. Hope you like it! c:

Hey, not too shabby. Better than what I could do honestly. ^_^;

I probably should have mentioned this detail sooner, but her public guise sports the 'Sea Viper Armor' costume since my favorite one, the 'Quendeluum Veiled Heritance Disguise', literally disappeared on me one day. >_<

I would really like one of Ri'sari when you get the chance. I /love/ seeing my character drawn. : D

Finished! I have to apologize, I had trouble envisioning the dagger you mentioned on your character sheet, but I did include the ring and sword grip. Hope you like it! c:

Sarena, I think I may have that disguise. I'll take a look, but if I find it you can have it. c:
I won't be online until the 27th though, as I'm currently out of town and away from my computer.

Finished! Even added your little friend. Hope you like it, Bbigeargo! c:

good job! so talented!

Thank you. <3

These artworks are simply fantastic, you really captured the character's personality there, not simply their look :) Best work I've seen in a long time, please do keep it up

@Dar'Andrin: Of course! I'm gonna try to follow the thread order though, so it's Sylvaswift, Ri'sari, and then yourself. c:

@ A Gata: Thank you! c:

@J'vani: You're welcome! It was a lot of fun drawing your character. <3

@Bethany: Thank you so much! It means a lot. :3 <3

Woah! TESO official tumblr reblogged my sketch of Krimie! *O*

http://theelderscrollsonline.tumblr.com/image/93172640280

Wooo! That's awesome!

Thanks! ^-^

It's pretty exciting to get noticed like that. Congrats and thanks for the drawing. Keep it up! Your artwork gets better with each new rendition.

And, Krimie seems to like it.

Thank you!
And I'm absolutely in love with that screenshot, it's just so great. xD

Catgrats!

These look amazing! Do you still do these? Perhaps when I get some screenshots can you do one of my character? :3

Yes! Though I've fallen behind due to my vacations and such. I fully intend on completing everyone's requests. The next person to be drawn is Sylvaswift if I remember correctly.

Go ahead and leave a screenshot if you'd like, and I'll continue to go in order once I pick these back up again. c:

Can you do one of Bhidul like this? But with his mane flapping in the wind :)
