Well, as I promised one person. I'm going to quietly post my artwork that was drawn in 2022, mixing it in with the new ones.
Honestly, there was a question in the TES ASK that I was wild about answering and afraid to, and it went something like this: draw the character you're responsible for in a more realistic style.
I occasionally draw non-line arts, but they are very hard, and at the time my anatomy was lame on both legs XD
Crooked faces were my "thing". From a sloppy sketch, something was slowly starting to emerge.
I criticized myself so much because of my mistakes that I was thinking, "Well to hell with it, I guess it's not my thing", but my best friend, also from ASK, was responsible of Lucien, constantly encouraging me and helping me to cope with my inner critic, thank her so much for that, I love her. Little by little, gradually the work came to an end, in photoshop with the help of "plastic" corrected the joints (which I now also see, but now I know how to avoid them).
And the idea came to me in a dream. For some reason I wanted to depict a little Antoinette Marie in complete despair and hopelessness (such a state I had at that time, probably it played).
I posted this art on FA under the title "Believe my child, believe"
The lace was a pain in the ass..

Finally finished...🫠 This art isn't directly related, but today, I'd like to share a piece of my long-held headcanon and an AU story about Lucienetta👩🏼🍎
┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
The year is 3E 427, six years before the onset of the Oblivion Crisis. One day, Speaker Lucien Lachance receives a dire prophecy from the Brotherhood's seer, directly foretelling his death.
“In the year 3E 433, as shadows converge and chaos wraps its arms around Tamriel, the fates whisper. To the Dark Brotherhood, an inescapable catastrophic overturn has been decreed. Caught in the web of conspiracy, your death is unavoidable...”
Lucien realizes that his death is inevitable, for this seer had accurately predicted the death of someone dear to him before—a previous Speaker of the Cheydinhal Sanctuary, a woman whom a younger Lucien had served as a Silencer and with whom he shared a mutual love...
🔽 ( For the rest of the story )🔽
Lucien was filled with panic, as he found himself without a successor, a direct result of continuously losing Silencers. This loss had been causing significant disruptions to his duties. Particularly, the search for a certain recruit had hit a significant snag. Despite the mission being assigned by the Listener more than two years ago, the individual remained unfound.
The girl's name is Antoinetta Marie. She killed her aunt, escaped from the Imperial Prison, and continued to survive through murder as a street dweller. Her record of killings and harsh life, even by Lucien's standards, was remarkable. Above all, the fact that a Speaker of the Black Hand had yet to find her spoke volumes of her extraordinary potential as an assassin.
“At all costs, this ‘formidable girl’ must be found…"
With this resolve, Lucien was determined to bring her back to the Cheydinhal Sanctuary and nurture her as one of his Silencer candidates.
┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
Here's the prologue—or rather, the premise that sets the stage for our story. The actual narrative kicks off in the year 3E 428, where Antoinetta, having been rescued by Lucien, dedicates herself to rest and preparation at the sanctuary, gearing up for her debut as an assassin.
Most of the story focuses on Antoinetta's Silencer training, during which she and Lucien live together in secret. Unaware of Lucien's real plans, she is thrilled by the new life with the person she admires.
Ultimately, Lucien steps down from his position as Speaker to become a Silencer, paving the way for Antoinetta Marie to rise as the new Speaker. Lucien will now serve her, just as he did for the one he loved in his youth...✨ The story is intended to conclude at this juncture.
Ideally, I'd love to make everything into a comic, but that's not a practical option for me. Instead, by adopting a picture book-like format, I plan to gradually create just the scenes I want to, one at a time🙂💭

The Lucienetta ship gets better when you take into consideration that Ocheeva was esentially raised by Lucien, and that Antoinetta seems to have some kind of (one-sided) rivalry going on with her.
Antoinetta, with a wicked grin: I'm gonna be your stepmommy someday!
Ocheeva:

Dug up an old doodle from around 2015 or so? I had given Antoinetta Marie a love of birds in the old version of Dear Brother, so here she is with a dove, which I'll probably call something silly like a "Nibenay Mourning Dove"
I may redraw this eventually

Antoinetta Marie & Lucien Lachance 👩🏼🍎💖
I've drawn my beloved OTP for the first time!
Expanding their headcanon has been therapeutic for me...💗🫠💗 I'd love to share more about it, but it would make this message too long, so I'll save those stories for the next time I post a drawing.
Today, I want to express my gratitude.
Thank you so much for all the likes and reblogs on my previous Lucien illustration! 🥺💖(I read every single one!)
In Japan (and probably in China and Korea too), TES is not very well known, which naturally means the fandom is smaller.
So it felt like a dream, and I was incredibly happy to connect with so many Lucien fans!🍎🍎🍎✨😭✨🍎🍎🍎
I adore Lucien and the members of the Dark Brotherhood, so feel free to leave comments anytime! (I'll do my best to reply even in my broken English🥳)
