Dovahkiin, Dovahkiin

Postby Schneemaehne » Fri Dec 30, 2011 11:06 am

"Our Hero, our Hero, claims a warrior's heart
I tell you, I tell you, the Dragonborn comes
With a Voice wielding power of the ancient Nord art
Believe, believe, the Dragonborn comes..."


Inspired by the amazing Skyrim Main Theme, the lovely "Dragonborn"-Song and the adorable version of Malukah, which Karne sent me to listen to. It was love at first sight and I just had to put (at least one) of the pictures in my mind down.
Started as a quick sketch yesterday night, but after I recieved so many nice comments on this I decided to give it a re-do tonight. I'm still not 100% satisfied with this, but I hope it's better than the scribble from yesterday. All contructive criticism and suggestions for improvement are warmly welcomed.

This song really made my day yesterday, great thanks Karne for sharing it with me! This picture is for you, as you already know.

The drawing shows a (just died) dragon and the Dovahkiin in front of it, absorbing its powers. If you are not familiar with Skyrim or other "The Elder Scrolls"-games, I really would recommend you to look the up or play at least one of them. Thanks to my (beloved, but not really good) laptop I only played Morrowind myself, but Karne showed me Skyrim and it was instant love. So many details, such a wonderful OST, all the things you love about TES-games combined and better - the game of the year if you ask me.

Great thanks for watching,
Schneemaehne

Fus Roh DAH! hahaha <3 i love this game. Im a a kajiit (super spelling fail) and im in the Dark brotherhood. Im an assassin. :3 The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - "Sons of Skyrim" Song Lyrics

Dovahkiin, Dovahkiin,

Naal ok zin, los vahriin,

Wah dien vokul mahfaeraak ahst vaal,

Ahrk fin norok paal graan,

Fod nust hon zindro zaan,

Dovahkiin, fah hin kogaan mu draal.

Ahrk fin kel lost prodah,

Do ved viing ko fin krah,

Tol fod zyemah win kien meyz fundien

Alduin fyen do jun,

Kruziik vokun staadnau,

Voth aan bahlok wah diivon fin lien.

Translation

Dragonborn, Dragonborn,

By his honor, is sworn,

To keep evil forever at bay,

And the fiercest foes rout,

When they hear triumph's shout,

Dragonborn, for your blessing we pray,

And the Scrolls have foretold,

Of black wings in the cold,

That when brothers wage war come unfurled,

Alduin bane of kings,

Ancient shadow unbound,

With a hunger to swallow the world

not just at level 9, you can kill a dragon at any level if you do the quests quick enough. then you can fight dragons in the wild.

*laughs* Okay, just to answer a few questions:

- This is just some dragon being killed and yes it's the super-awesome-scene when you absorb it's powers. But it's not at a special moment, it's just randomly^^
- It's also not a Khajiit. It's only a random character wearing the horned helmet you can find everywhere^^ I choose this because (as far as I remember) it's also shown in the trailer. I'm not sure if Khajiit and Argonian can wear helemts in Skyrim (at least theys couldn't in Morrowind) but besides this is could be any characte wearing this kind of helmet.

And I will now listen to this song until I fall asleep, yay!

Oh, and thanks for all the support, guys!

(I really shoudl make this into a more detailed piece^^)
