I recently compiled a list of my characters' tags on Tumblr, and thought I might share them here as well in case some of you are interested. My blog contains drawings, doodles, backstory snippets, and other info that can't be found on this site, so if you'd like to know more about my characters below are some tags you might want to take a look at (stuff will appear in the order of newest to oldest). For starters, here are the direct links to my TES characters' tags:

The rest of the tags for other game characters (My character tags :pointr: Name) and some other Tumblr stuff can be found here

A Very Long Tag

11 min read


I snatched this from :iconrosyan: since it looked like fun :D

1. What does your Deviantart name mean and why?
Isriana was actually a character in one of my original fantasy stories I used to write long time ago. An auburn-haired warrior/priestess, in fact. Seven years ago (good god, I can’t believe it has been for so long) I was looking for a username for a new DeviantART account and tried a few different alternatives, all of which turned out to be already taken. So I started going through fantasy character names I had created, and Isriana was my favorite out of the options available, so I went for it. I didn’t think much of it at the time, but for some reason it stuck - now I couldn’t even think of changing it.

2. What fandom were you obsessed with when you joined and what are you into now?
Neverwinter Nights 2. :D Is till love the game, but nowadays The Elder Scrolls stuff has taken over my gallery.

About Summer

Hey, everyone!

I hope you've been doing well. As you may have noticed, I haven’t been as active this summer as I usually have. The reason for that is simple, really – I got a day job and won’t be having any vacation. During weekdays I’ll have about 3-4 hours spare time to use for art, games, socializing and whatnot. So basically this means less paintings, comics and internet than usual. Also, since the work takes so much of my time and energy I’m in no position to take any commissions in foreseeable future. Apologies to those of you who have approached me via notes and asked about commissions – chances are that I won't have time for extra work until September/October at the earliest.

So, that’s what my summer is going to be about this year. It would have been nice to have a little vacation before the next semester begins, but to be honest I can’t really complain. In this economy when you’re offered a job position you jump at the opportunity and say ’thank you’. :P Other than work I’ll be playing The Elder Scrolls Online and drawing whenever I have the time. I have lots of WIPs waiting to be finished – hopefully I can post something new for you during the weekend.
Take care everyone! And those of you who have summer holidays: relax and have fun.


Hugs,
Isriana :heart:
