Quick sketch of Hermaeus Mora tentacles holding a Black Book c:

Okay but hear me out. Hermaeus Mora teaching Miraak how to read. Like, for some reason, maybe he never had a reason to, Miraak never learned how to read. Eventually, he winds up in Apocrypha, and Mora has to go deal with a mortal or something, and Miraak has nothing to do. Mora comes back, expecting to find his Champion reading, cause hey, it's a whole realm of books and knowledge. But he finds a disgruntled Miraak sitting on the steps, and thats how he figures out Miraak can't read. And every few hours after Miraak's had his rest, Mora would sit down with the easiest book in Apocrypha and help Miraak learn the alphabet and different sounds and words, and eventually, Mora has to leave again, maybe congratulating the LDB on retrieving the Oghma Infinium, and comes back to Miraak reading fluently to a group of Seekers or something. And Mora has never been so proud of himself.

after a whole year of avoiding this task, i have finally drawn jyggalag, the only daedric prince my redesign project was missing! the gang's all here!! i also updated vaermina's and sheogorath's colors a little.

I don't draw him enough

Miraak Fanart :) I love him (/p) so much honestly. He’s got annoyed big brother energy and I love modding him as a follower because I too have an unquenchable thirst for knowledge. The whole reason I first played Skyrim is because my friend 1) told me about the dwemer 2) said the in-game books were readable 3) told me about Jyggalag

I’m hooked, now.

A little, indulgent photo edit I've made.

Do only I call him "Hermy"?
