Strawberry-Jamasaur: Number 2. It's not as good as the other one, but then again, I guess that doesn't matter for the contest. This was the best I could do in the 4 hours I had to work with. I was hoping to get the boots of Springheel Jak in here, but I think you guys get the idea.
Arcsome: I love this picture but there is a little detail that kinda funny. If you pay attention to her tail it looks like it glitched through the chair.lol brings back memories of my khajiit in skyrim.
Strawberry-Jamasaur: @Olaffson: Thank you! well I have a DeviantArt and a Tumblr account, but I have nothing posted, like, literally nothing, so they wouldn't do you much good right now.
@Arcsome: I made that chair accurate to the one in the game and if you look it up, there's a space in the back of the chair that she could tick her tail through.
Strawberry-Jamasaur: @Nyflex: @Tahrey: It takes the context of the final Thieves Guild mission in Oblivion, "The Ultimate Heist", in which you break into the Imperial Palace and steal an elder scroll from the blind moth priests. The thing I love about this particular mission and why I thought it would be a good submission to the contest is because a lot of the previous TG quests are preparing you for this mission, so it feels good when you see all your hard thieving work pay off, and plus I thought it would give a lot of implied context to the image, though it took me all of an hour after posting it to realize how stupid that reasoning was
AMKitsune: It's the smallest of nit-picks, but shouldn't she have used the arrow of extrication by this point? Either way, absolutely adorable. If those Moth priests weren't blind, I'm sure they'd just give her the scroll if she asked nicely :3
Strawberry-Jamasaur: @AMKitsune: @Ja_Jarsha_Rovandi: Ja is correct in that, if you can find the arrow, it can be recovered, with the drawback that you would then be unable to remove it from your inventory. HOWEVER, this was never going to be game-lore accurate because I wanted the equipment to add the context associated. The original plan for this drawing was that Katia was in the Hall of Epochs, drawing the arrow in the bow, but in that plan she already had the scroll and was being chased by guards. I felt that would be too similar to my other contest entry(also I failed to sufficiently draw it, like, 5times), so I went with this, which is a better choice for the contest in my opinion. So you're right, but I already know. In fact there are a few points I've been expecting to get nitpicked, like the fact that the elder scroll she's being given is modeled after the one from Skyrim, not Oblivion
Strawberry-Jamasaur: OH MAN, You know what would be hilarious? If reading an elder scroll, which usually makes you go blind, counteracts the blindness effect of the cloak of gray tomorrows. I know it makes no sense, but elder scrolls are strange things that don't follow the normal rules of time and space. Do you think elder scrolls come in nightwriting?
Anyway, I assume the pic refers to someone handing her the scroll in trust to "just have a look at", then the other picture is the follow-up where she and her accomplice(s) are running like hell with no intention of actually giving it back?
Strawberry-Jamasaur: @Tahrey: No, the two picrures are unrelated. And as I mentioned before, the moth priests are blind. In the mission a meeting is set up for a famous scholar to read an elder scroll. You go and take the scroll instead. Though I do like that idea.
Tahrey: ah, it's just because there seems to be that same blue glow in both pics, I figured it was from the scroll in this one being stuffed into her bag in the other :D
