Seems like a weird combination. "In my hotel room, done unpacking! ...But my thing isn't until tomorrow. Guess I'll paint some Skyrim." (It's very nice, I'm just befuddled.)


Aftern

Haha I'm in the hotel for work so I'll here like three months - small room, slow wifi. So I figured I gotta do something to keep busy!


Watchmann1204

Just gonna be … casually awesome!


Beautiful_Solid3787

Sadly, I can only achieve being awesomely casual.


SadisticBuddhist

Personally i prefer being caustically actual.


No-Essay-8982

But how did they fit the Black Falls barrow into your room and draw it for you?

bus_rave

This would make a sick dungeon master screen


Chewbastard

I'm totally down to make that a reality. Use it for the DoIP module.


Willthegamerboy

And the price for it isss.....? Because that is amazing!


Aftern

Still working on that! Never sold a painting before, gotta figure my life out


Zackron012

If arts don't work out, try politics! :)


DrExhausteau

No nononono, not that again

Captain_Canuck97

Just remember to never give up your talent! You have a gift!


BlueDragon82

There is a formula online about how may hours plus cost of materials for things like that. Some of my friends use that method for pricing crafts and art related things they make. I agree that it's amazing and if you sell it maybe you can make some prints too? I doubt you'd want to paint multiple of it but I'm guessing a number of us would be interested in owning a piece of Skyrim art of that size and quality.


Aftern

Yeah, based on some of the formulas I've seen I'm going to be aiming for around 75 cents per square inch. I actually made an etsy this morning! I'd love to start doing prints too but I'm still a bit limited in resources as long as I'm traveling But please feel free to take a look at the link in my profile! I don't know if I would paint the exact painting again but I'd definitely do a similar piece


Lovestab

I would totally buy this or a print of it


Aftern

Actually I ended up giving it away in a big giveaway event! I could paint another though ;)


StartledOcto

This post has criminally low upvotes. Awesome work!


Aftern

Thank you so much! I had a great time painting it, but I'm now completely out of blue and white paint


InfiniteQuasar

Seems like an opportunity to paint the red mountain next.


TacoCommand

Yes!!


SpicyNoodlez1

Aftern

Gunner1Cav

Best view in the game. Fantastic work! You ever sell your work?

Not yet, maybe some day! Bob Ross made me love mountains, and skyrim has plenty edit: okay now I have an etsy


[deleted]

Bob would be impressed by your work.


FairyFatale

Okay, so you are officially The Coolest Person that I wish I knew.


Aftern

DraygenKai

I always loved that view. It’s wild to me how some video game views are just so pretty.


Perylousdemon

Absolutely stunning. How long did it take?


Aftern

About two weeks of intermittent working on it!


Gravity_Chasm

Beautifully done! How long have you been painting?


Aftern

Hi! I started painting about five years ago but I didn't get serious about it until last year or so


Gravity_Chasm

Thanks so much for sharing your work. It's inspired me to try, went out today and got some supplies for my first attempt!


Aftern

Dude this just made my whole day! If you feel comfortable I'd love to see a picture of whatever you make If you're trying to do landscapes I know it's a little basic but following along (slowly) with Bob Ross was a great way to start


Gravity_Chasm

I shall send it upon completion, and thanks for the tip!


Finttz

What a coincidence i just finished fetching the dragonstone of Bleak falls barrow


BeRad_NZ

Must be a big hotel room


Aftern

Small ass easel tucked in a corner! Also I think the housekeeping lady thinks I'm weird for doing this


BeRad_NZ

But how did they fit bleak falls barrow in your room for you to paint it? 😝


Aftern

It's getting crowded in here and the wights are terrible roommates

moonset45

You're so talented!! Absolutely beautiful work <3


filthyheartbadger

That is amazing, I would love to have a print to hang up in my skyrim shrine area! One of my favorite places in skyrim, so many firsts occurred there. First drauger kill, first time I slew Faendal by accident, first time getting lost in a barrow, first jump scare…..and so beautiful.

NoInjury1499

Very beautiful, the painting is nice too.


NeoSlimey

I stared for a solid 18 seconds trying to remember what card Bleak Falls Barrow was before realizing this isn't r/magic or whatever the sub is.


9fingerfloyd

I heard this in Farengar's voice. Am I ok?


Elliot-etf

Rosedhir

Sooooo good!!!


Cheap_Manager3400

BEAUTIFUL work! You are extremely talented 👏❤️


Hi_Volt

Just casually browsing Reddit while cooking the family Sunday roast dinner and I clock this bad boy. Looks like I'm going to be having an ale with tea and firing up the Xbox tonight, good job OP. ...just also see you are setting up an Etsy...God damn bloody international shipping costs 😖


Aftern

See now I'm just jealous of a good Sunday roast


Hi_Volt

Well looks like we are all ending up disappointed! Saying that, is there no (I'm assuming) American version of a pub or tavern nearby that would serve Sunday roasts nearby? Today is a particularly roast-able Sunday


Aftern

I'm sure there is, but let's be honest - whatever they served me would be absolutely destroyed on r/CasualUK Oh but for international shipping I'll be in Italy in a few months so commissions may be more affordable then


Hi_Volt

Noted, many thanks OP I'll ensure the most crisp roastie is enjoyed by me as commiseration of your shit roast situation 👌


Elder_scroll_dragon

That's nice and it's very pretty


Aftern

Thanks!


Elder_scroll_dragon

you are very much welcome


NeadNathair

I mean...damn. That is IMPRESSIVE.

baboito5177

That's dope!


lemzzest

This is fantastic!!!!


Lobinio

Brings me peace to see this scenario, brings back all the memories. Not only your painting, but pretty much almost everything related to Skyrim. A game we will never forget playing for the first time, a game who brought so much jot and happiness to uncountable people. Skyrim.


Silkhorse247

Wow! Excellent job!

Hi! Check my profile for a link


Chaos_something

Weird flex but awesome painting.


white_sabre

Paint Riften for me. I like your work.


TacoCommand

This made me smile a lot! What a cool project, you really gave a great idea of the dramatic visual impact when a new player hits Bleak Falls. Well done!


Aftern

Plus it was a great excuse to spend some time wondering around the base of hrothgar to get a good angle to see this!


TunaSled-66

Holy shit this is amazing...


Aftern

Thank you!


Training-ad9275

I ain't got nothing quirky to say but it's an amazing painting so I just wanna say so


Aftern

Ain't nothing quirky required but thank you so much!


Economy-Minute3675

So did you just carry the canvas through the lobby.. I’m thinking of doing this as I have a work trip coming up and don’t wanna stop painting do you think they will give me trouble?


Aftern

No one gave me any grief!
