This is a character I have been developing a bit. He is nameless, as of now, mainly because I hate picking names for my characters.
Here is a brief description of him and his life:

He was born to Breton nobles in High Rock during the 5th era, but grew up exiled in the province of Hammerfell. Blinded at a young age, his father used dangerous and illegal magicks to return his son to partial sight. The markings on his face are evidence of the illicit practices that "cured" him, so he was hidden away from the eye of the local establishment. When the community eventually found out about his past, his father was executed, while he and his mother were sent into exile. Eventually, his mother was separated from him. She left unannounced for the plains of Elsweyr, and left him on his own to become a drunkard at a young age. He learned how to survive with almost nothing when he was living on the streets of Sentinel as a beggar and thief. Though he spent his days as a scoundrel, he found himself attune to arcane practices. The bizarre ritual preformed on him by his father, left him with a direct, be it small, connection to Oblivion. Conjuration, which to a regular mage is mentally and physically draining, came to him naturally. Later on, he would find himself a small niche in the city of Rihad, as a practicing mage and alchemist. One would find that he his highly skilled in all magical areas with the exception of alteration. But one day, he should receive a letter bearing bad news. His mother has died on her estate in Elsweyr. He must travel the road to the plains of the Khajiiti province, where he will visit the grave of his mother and pay his final respects.

Description of the picture
His face has burnt markings made by his father for strange ritual magick. The eyes are colorless like the eyes of a blind man. He wears a netch-leather pauldron that he bought from an old Dunmer peddler. Over that, he wears a large sash to warm him on cold nights. Under it all is a worn pair of sack-cloth pants and a button up shirt. On his back is a redware container to keep food and supplies. In his left hand, there is a rusty akaviri short-blade, that he bought from the same eccentric, old Dunmer.

Also, it may look like he has a short or messed up leg, but he doesn't. He's walking.

Tell me what you think guys!

I insist on any fellow doodlers posting any of their drawings of characters (or anything really). If you want, leave a description or history of your characters as well!


EDIT: fixed grammatical errors and added a bit more to the description.
