I may have wanted to make something for Spooky Month.
I like to imagine that the children of Morrowind are there, but a bunch of them go missing and end up serving the Sixth House in one big dysfunctional family cult.
I'd honestly be terrified too if I had a child that ended up like this too.
(Mild flashing/eyestrain warning for the second half! I'll post a slower version below that's less flashy and let's you see the details)
A short Morrowind animation for a MAP (Multi-Animator Project).
It was fun trying different methods of animation (no reference for Nerevar, rotoscoping a 3D model for the ring, and a video reference for the hand) and letting myself use a loose sketchy style!

Version with the second half slowed down (link because Tumblr is dumb about having more than one video in a post):
So, there we go. I’ve created my first illustration featuring my Nerevarine! For a long time, I’ve wanted to capture this moment from the game—something we don’t even get to see in-game, but it’s how I imagine it. Jiub patiently awaits the morning to inform us that not even last night’s storm could wake us.
"You dreamed that a tall figure with a golden mask spoke to you, but you understood not a word. He smiled, and seemed pleasant, but when he reached to touch you, it terrified you, and you tried to escape, but you couldn't move. You tried to cry out, but you couldn't make a sound. The figure kept smiling and talking, but you felt sure he was trying to cast some sort of spell on you. When you woke, you couldn't recall how the dream ended."
