Hello again. So thanks to the community I was noticed and contacted by TESO team. Thank you all ppl, really, I am a small artist and my chance to be noticed was little without your reposts and reaction.

The team assures that there was a mistake and they never wanted to use fanarts without permission.

We exchanged quite friendly messages, the contents of which I do not want to disclose yet. Now I am waiting for a second answer. It is now the Easter holidays and an answer cannot be received quickly. Let's be patient and wait. ...See the whole post to discover some more funny details.

...

Well... I think particular employee just did their job… BAD. This is just my guess, I don't have an official comment.

Some indirect evidence of a dishonest work (lack of verification?) is that that set of tattoos is called "Mercymothers". The Merciful Mother is Almalexia, and the tattoos are clearly depicting Sotha Sil. You should be completely out of lore to do that… or it's a deeplore that I am too silly to understand )) (don't think so, using Occam's Razor)

...

Whatever it was, that dude (if so) did their job badly twice. Here are paired face tattoos (Mersymother's Face Art) in addition to body tattoos.

See the ponytail above the heart? And here it is on the face. So the whole set is cut from my picture. Alas.

This would not be evident if we did not know the history of the first picture.

I want to point out that I am not throwing accusations. Shit happenes even in big companies, now we need to understand who is to blame and what to do.

Any such things should be dealt with as correctly as possible. I was surprised when someone called me toxic in the comments for my first reaction. How else should I have reacted? Be silently happy?

...

And about copyrights.

I drew a fanart and I didn't monetize it, it's not forbidden as I konw :) But now company: 1. took it without asking me 2. sells it in the crownstore for real money.

All rights to the scrolls lore belong to the company! But without the consent of the artist, even fanart cannot be used. So now we need to figure out a solution that satisfies every side of the incident (I think). At the very least, I should be credited as an artist in the credits of a new chapter or such place.

...

Love you all and still love Scrolls universe, eheh.

Oh thank you all for your support. It means a lot for a little artist. Elder Scrolls has a brilliant community :) So updates.. TESO team wrote to me via Twitter saying they are "currently looking into this and hope to have an update for you as quickly as possible". (I wrote to them via email yesterday but it was not answered, maybe 'cause of holydays, I don't want to blame anyone) OK, let's wait )

Hm, well. I am a bit shocked. 19 jule 2020 i posted this fanart with Sotha, Vivec and Almalexia.

Now I see my very version… in ESO crown skin.

It's.. well… strange.

I really did a lot of work. Now, the new TESO skin:

Should they... well... say to me something? "Hello" or "we'll sell your art as an in-game skin, you are so wonderful Relan Deavath, come and get your NOTHING AT ALL you are welcome, kisses".

He, he, he. Meh. I have PSD and all proofs the art is mine, but what should I do? )) Just yell in anger I think

Well there’s a 1984 movie Conan the Destroyer (l like Conan and all retro epic sword and sorcery films, yep) with Arnold Schwarzenegger starred. 

The plot is built around Conan who needs to escort Princess Jehnna, a virgin, who is destined to restore the jeweled horn of the dreaming god Dagoth presented by a white statue; later when the horn is obtained and placed into the statue’s forehead, mr. Dagoth mutates into a terrible Dagon-like monster. 

So we can see the DREAMING GOD DAGOTH from the movie up there, first picture. And Dagoth Ur from Morrowind down below.

Much to think about character desining LOL.
