I based this off of what I'd like to think knight could look like.

I'd been generally out of concepts for new pieces when I thought it might be fun to draw a Nord - as I would like to play. I wanted to give a slight impression of age but not too old, just enough to indicate his experience in battle.
That didn't work quite well enough so I decided a scar would be more fitting!

I think I'll continue doing these kind of portraits for more practice painting without reference.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I did painting it.


- Painted in Photoshop and ArtRage for the oil texture on a Wacom Cintiq, about 1 hour 30 all up

did you draw that O.O dude

That's awesome man! I love it! Are you planning on doing any more?

Thanks for the replies.

I plan on doing some more portraits for other races

That is bloody excellent. You should totally do Khajiit or an Argonian

This really is great work mate mate. I'm looking forward to seeing more.

Love this! Especially oil paintings! Dayum, I feel humbled! D:

Could you do a Breton?
