"Here is the second and most recent artwork that I commissioned from the amazing MyCKs!
I give you an infamous character from Elder Scrolls lore, the one who proclaimed the start of the Second Era and assumed the throne of the Second Empire, the Akaviri Potentate Versidue-Shaie.
Descriptions of the Tsaesci race vary largely, but the most common description is that they had the upper bodies of men and lower bodies of serpents. This vampiric race is said to be covered in golden scales, but this description is largely based on speculation. Thus, here you have my interpretation of a Tsaesci, but not just any Tsaesci. Versidue-Shaie served the Reman Dynasty until the assassination of Emperor Reman III at the end of the First Era. Afterwards, Versidue proclaimed the start of the Second Era and assumed the throne as..."acting" emperor. He is The Serpent King, the one who ordered the constuction of The Rose atop the ruins of Blackrose. In my eyes, this is what The Serpent King looks like.
MyCks-san did an incredible job with this piece. She took all of these vague ideas and details I spewed at her and transformed them into the exact image I had in my head. It was almost like she reached through my computer screen and into my head to pull the image right out and plop it onto her sketch sheet. She truly is an amazing artist. But if you want to see more of her amazing work, go and check out her gallery on Deviantart! You won't regret it!
The calligraphy on this piece reads "Emperor".
