Description
Something I've been working on during night time for the last couple weeks. Sketches for a small series of portraits of the pantheon of the Nine Divines from The Elder Scrolls universe. I'm posting them now, as I'm aware that it'll take months to finish - knowing my usual work pace and tendency to sketch out new stuff rather often - and because I have a feeling that sketches are almost always better and more emotional than finished drawings. Comments and critiques are welcome.

On the ribbons there are the Commands of the Divines - however, I had to simplify most of them, or use only fragments, so they would fit in such a limited space. I'm also thinking of clothing Dibella up a bit. She contrasts with the rest too much for my liking. This is despite her statues in Skyrim are all, without exception, bare-chested artistic nudes.

I haven't decided yet if I want to have those sketches in an Art-Nouveau or Art-Deco style. Although I find this Generic-High-Fantasy style to work throughout this series rather well. I hope to be adding more detail to the designs and patterns as I go on with each separate portrait.

Pencil (4B), each sketch on individual A4 paper sheet.
