Description

Well. This is new. Very new o.o

My Khajiit character Kivuli, Cicero, Lucien LaChance and Shadowmere trekking across the cold lands of Skyrim.
Because that's basically how I spend my time on Skyrim these days :P

Does a feline pony work? I'm not sure, I wanted to draw Kivuli but since he's a Khajiit, I wasn't sure how to go about it. I'm pretty happy with what I ended up with but it could use some work ^^; Nearly forgot to give him whiskers. ><
Kivuli is currently my only Skyrim character (I haven't had the game very long) but I love him to pieces and I'm really happy with how he's come out. (At the time of writing this he's at level 40. If anyone was wondering.) He's got a sort of spellsword build. Usually dual wielding a sword/axe/mace (nearly maxed out one-handed skill) in his primary hand and a spell (usually destruction (about level 70 I think), occasionally conjuration (only about level 40 but I don't use it that much)) in his off-hand. He's also got a pretty high archery skill though since I like using that for assassinations if I can, and killing dragons, so I don't have to get too close and risk Kivuli having his head bitten off.. Again..
He can still use magic as a pony, even though he's not a Unicorn. I like to think that anypony in Tamriel can use magic, but Unicorns have that added advantage and the greatest mages tend to be Unicorns (didn't stop this Khajiit from becoming the Arch-Mage in Winterhold but whatever). And in case anyone is wondering, his necklace has a fortify health enchantment, and his ring/bracelet :shrug: is the Nightweaver's Band. (Which I realise is more of a silver colour but I can't change it now >< )

Cicero was fun to draw. I don't why since his outfit is awfully complex, but he was just really great to draw. And once I coloured him in I was just thrilled with how he came out. He's so cute >3< I went and made him a Pegasus on the premise that Imperials are usually either Unicorns or Pegasi (making the Imperial Army a bit like the Equestrian Royal Guard). Plus I couldn't see him as a Unicorn and him being an Earth Pony just didn't sit right with me. So I went ahead and made the jester a Pegasus. His cutie mark is mostly hidden by his coat, but in the future I'll draw him so that you can see it. :)
Cicero goes everywhere with me now, I usually have him in Shrouded Armour like Kivuli but I thought I better dress him in his jesters clothes in this picture. I've given him various weapons including Mehrune's Razor (which he usually uses and dual wields with a Forsworn Sword) Sanguine's Rose (which he uses very efficiently) an upgraded ebony bow and a Staff of Chain Lighting, which I didn't actually give him, he just started using it against some Forsworn one day and I don't know where he got it from O.O He's incredibly vicious when he fights but he gets the job done and is very useful. Even if he has a habit of running off in the middle of dragon battles and scaring me 'cos I can't see him until the dragons been killed and he comes running back to me ><

Lucien was also oddly fun to draw. Though his robes (mostly the hood) did irritate me a little. The spectral effects were pretty easy. Didn't really have to fiddle around with things too much and I'm pretty happy with what I ended up with. Lucien also goes pretty much everywhere with me (except for when he dies and I have to wait to use the spell again) (Though one time I may have accidentally stabbed him through the back in the middle of a hectic fight and felt really bad for a while 'cos I couldn't summon him back for ages >< ) I love having him around though, even if he is awful talkative ><
Lucien is an Earth Pony despite being an Imperial, but has cloven hooves like a unicorn. Supposedly he has Breton ancestry (Imperial first name and in-game race, but has a Breton surname). So maybe that's how that happened. I dunno. I think the Bretons would mostly be Earth ponies and Unicorns (due to the whole, related to elves thing). Maybe his father was a Breton, but his mother was an Imperial. I know that usually the child of a mixed race couple tends to take after the mother more. But maybe he was an exception? I don't know. Ponifying characters from a series like TES is really hard ><

Since Shadowmere is already a horse, I drew his build a little different and gave him a slightly broader muzzle. He also has different ears. But there we go. I like to think that with the others as ponies, Shadowmere is mute. So he won't/can't speak. Whether or not he's still property of the Listener or not I don't know. Since that kind of makes him sound like a slave in these circumstances. :iconnervous-laughplz: 
His cutie mark is a red hoofprint, basically the Black Hand symbol but ponifyed. It's red since his coat is black and the mark didn't show up properly when it was black. It being the Black Hoof rather than the Black Hand kinda throws the 'four speakers and a listener, four fingers and a thumb' concept out the window but hey ho. What ya gonna do.
Lots of scars 'cos he's a freakin' ancient demon horse. And when he fights he kicks/tramples enemies with his forelegs. So there's more there and on his face than the rest of his body. :shrug:

Anyway. This description is far too long. So I'm gonna leave it there. ^^;
I've got a few more sketches of these characters so they'll probably appear at some point. :)

Anyway, I hope you like and please fav and comment :D

I knew what this was the instant I saw Cicero :D I love it. If I was any good at art, I might do this sort of thing with Red Dead Redemption (but then again, it's just me and a horse, so that wouldn't work) but knowing me, I'd rather do something pokemon instead :P getting distracted, I love seeing all these guys here, especially Cicero!
