Age Meme: Laranielby *Isriana

Well, this was sort of challenging. I've never made an age meme before and it proved to be quite interesting - it's still not perfect but I think I managed to maintain some likeness throughout different ages. Also, to add some challenge I chose my Altmer mage Laraniel as a test subject. I've said this before and I'll probably say it again, but damn I'm so lost with that high elf color palette...

I hope that one day I'll have time to make something like this about my other Skyrim characters, too.
Now, as far the meme itself is concerned, the elven aging is a bit tricky (hence the lack of actual ages) but I was aiming at depicting her as what would be a human equivalent of about 1, 4, 10, 15, 18, 20 and 25 years old. The last one takes place during the events of Skyrim so that would make her 240 years old, but as far the others go I have no idea what the actual numbers might be - so if anyone of you have come across a lore article or forum discussion that would shed light on subject, feel free to let me know.

Well one of the Barenziah books in-game did mention the "thousand year lifespans" of elves. There was a developer character interview that had a dark elf peasant say he expected to live well into his second century but that better living conditions/higher birth and magick increased the life expectancy

Barenziah herself was over 400 years old in Morrowind, no word of what happened to her in Skyrim.

And then there's Divayth Fyr, another Dunmer and the oldest NPC we've met in the games at over 4000 years old as of Morrowind and he was in good shape both mentally and physically. Such a badass.

Yeah, Dunmer are my main field of expertise.

Love your work, hope I was of some help

It seems I can only draw age if I draw using realism.

You're so good!

I like the idea of a blind mage using spells to 'see', reminds me of Toph from th original Avatar the Last Airbender, none the less i find things like this both highly mysterious and original. One of my favorite artists on DA.

yeah, the whole aging thing with elves bethesda never really made clear, but there are sources that suggest a lifespan of between 500 and 1000 years.

amazin job on the age meme, by the way, really like her in the second to last panel.

Great job!!!!

Somehow that second to last picture reminds me of a moth priest did she become blind due to the side effects of reading elder scroll?

~skjaldulfr Apr 13, 2013

Methinks the same.

Nice. I've never seen an age meme before. It looks well done.
