Closer. Lorkhan’s heart-hole isn’t a cage at all. Or maybe it is. Akatosh, Time-Dragon, First Born, begins to eat his tail.
The priest address the audience: if there are any here who would object.
—C0DA
The first time I read about Lorkhan, when I was a little teen, over 10 years ago, I instantly loved this intriguing character. Over time, I delved much deeper into lore and my love only kept on increasing to the point he became my favorite character (seconded by others who are closely related to him). And it happens I also have some weird ass love for priests —I would totally be one myself if the Imperial Cult was more widespread over here. So. Lorkhan as priest in C0DA was obviously the kick I needed to make a painting of him. It’s very hard to do him any justice (especially without sound) but I’m quite happy with this try, much better than anything I had attempted so far. I hadn’t planed this waning Secunda-skull, but I just followed my feels. And the gif animation is basic and ridiculous, yes, but I made it because I could. For funz.
C0DA. Best. Ending. Ever.
