New year seems like a good excuse to post up-to-date screenshots of (some) of my ESO characters 😛
New patch, new outfits - this time for my Direnni siblings, Zaraste and Zacarion
That feel when a Stros M’Kai NPC just… materializes in the middle of your Cloudrest trial to offer you a starter island quest 😩
For the record, Irien has been haunting this character for a few months now. I’ve yet to figure out what exactly triggers it, but sometimes I switch zones or I’m in the middle of a dungeon and out of nowhere I can hear her voice yelling “That bastard!” I also have absolutely no idea why she’s stalking Zaraste specifically
Irien, please. This is my house

Another wardrobe comparison, this time featuring my TESO healers. Selection includes the gear they’re currently wearing, plus their outfits and costumes of choice.
In your 3rd pic of Zaraste, what dress is she wearing?
Sorry, not sure which pic you’re referring to. I’ve posted several screenshots of Zaraste, but none of them are recent. However, her most used costumes are Cyrod Patrician Formal Gown, Noble Dress, Desert Garden Gala Overdress and Off-the-Shoulder Evening Dress, commonly dyed with white and gold. Hopefully one of those was what you were looking for!

I was supposed to work on some actual artwork today, but somehow I ended up filling this Very Important alignment chart instead ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Some New Life Festival doodles while the event is still going on 🎄
I'm curious, what mounts do your eso characters have? :)
For the longest time Noelie didn’t really have a mount, so she has done most of her traveling by foot. Story-wise it was because she started her journey as a hedge mage peasant who could hardly afford such luxuries, and practically because she is my gatherer/harvester character who’d have to dismount to pick herbs and chop wood every few steps anyway. Regardless, I eventually decided to get her a sorrel horse called Sweetroll, who is as mellow as her name suggests. She’s a sturdy old draft horse - ordinary, but dependable and not a least bit squeamish… Which is a good thing, considering the outlandish places and situations where Noelie’s travels often take her. :P
Davius, for one, has two steeds in his name: a white Imperial horse Lux he’s had since his service in the Imperial Legion, and a younger black war horse (called Nox because I’m unimaginative like that) issued to him by the Ebonheart Pact. Fierce and energetic, neither one of them are the easiest mounts to deal with, but in Davius’ hands they’re co-operative… mostly.
Meirami rides with her trusty old Uncle Dharjo - at least when the old Senche Tiger happens to feel like exercising. He’s been looking after Meirami and her sisters ever since they were kittens, and apparently at some point he decided that the youngest troublemaker couldn’t wander off having any adventures without his supervision. Fortunately for Meirami his watchful eye can be easily distracted by a tasty moonsugar snack and a nice sunlit spot…
Morrowind gave me a dwarven war horse, and all that shiny brass made me think that it’s exactly the kind of steed Zaraste would ride. Stately, elegant and always immaculately groomed, Dibella’s Grace (Bells for short) is sure to draw attention wherever she goes.
Walks-in-Blossoms journeys with a banded guar charger, Aster, even though such creatures are usually reserved for heavily armored warriors. His steed was originally bred for cavalry use, but eventually considered far too mischievous and impetuous to be a reliable asset in the battlefield. Curiously enough the snappy guar didn’t seem to mind Blossoms who was happy to purchase him from his original owners (who were equally happy to see him go). He would soon find Aster to be intensively protective, and very likely to headbutt any real (or imagined) threats directed towards his Argonian rider.
Sings-with-Ravens doesn’t exactly have the kind of mount you can ride into the marketplace with. After several decades spent together, her beloved Senche Panther eventually passed - but rather than letting her go for good, Ravens chose to carefully reanimate the steed to keep her company once more. What’s a bit of a backyard necromancy if it can reunite you with a dear old friend, right?
And finally, there’s Zacarion… who rides a black bear because of course he does. How on earth did he manage to tame such beast, I have no idea.
imagine being a vain fantasy kingdom elf and realizing all your dwarf and hobbit friends are constantly looking at you from the “accidentally opened your phone camera” angle
Ready for the Witches Festival 💀
