First submission to get the ball rolling:

http://velanoon.deviantart.com/art/Project-V-I-M-A-1-Gaarm-the-Ashlander-Archer-506155082

Gaarm is my first drawing for a personal project that I named 'Project V.I.M.A.'. There is more information about the project and relevant links in the description of the picture.

This drawing ended up not as detailed as I would have wanted. I had originally planned to have the Grazelands in the background with Gaarm's Ashlander camp on the horizon, but I could not figure out how to draw it in a good enough fashion so I dropped it and went with a simple parchment backdrop that I pulled from google images.

I also think that Gaarm has an unsettling resemblance to Marilyn Manson. At least he does in-game as you can see in the http://i.imgur.com/uONZz65.png I put together.

You draw these with computers? What program do you use?

*has no idea that was a thing*

Is stop motion projects accepted?

I use Photoshop CS3 for all my digital drawings When I was a young teen I first started off with using MS Paint (when it had no fancy features) and my computer mouse, then I switched to Photoshop CS2 when I got a drawing tablet, then switched full time to CS3 when we used that in school. Photoshop is not the best drawing software for actual drawing as it is more meant for photo manipulation, but I like it.

I think the professionals mostly use PaintTool SAI or Corel Painter.

Absolutely

I have both a deviantArt and a tumblr, but would rather http://monkeyemoness.tumblr.com/tagged/my-art be put up on the list. Fair warning that it's like 70% other stuff and not specifically Elder Scrolls drawings, so I'm not sure if it qualifies, but I do tag my art (like in the link provided).

For a thing not on there, http://th09.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2013/318/b/6/tes_v_skyrim__dragonborn_alois_portrait_by_monkeyemoness-d62pb03.png (nearly a year old, actually) and Jesus Christ do I need to fix some things but unfortunately I also lost the original file and have to start from scratch. Woo!

Okay thanks. Here's my current project: http://youtu.be/8HAXVQAMqvs. It's okay but I think I can do better, for now it'll do.
