Amazing! ZeniMax Online Studios have just honored the passionate fanartists they stole designs from without permission by naming characters in the Elder Scrolls universe after them! LadyNerevar, the artist whose design for Queen Alessia was appropriated in the Greymoor DLC, has been immortalized through the character of Indoril Nerevar, Hortator and peacekeeper of the First Council of Morrowind! In a more subtle tribute, the artist whose Sotha Sil design was used for the Crown Store's Mercymother tattoo set relan-daevath's name was altered to create Brelan Neloren, an NPC in the Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind DLC! We tip our hats to ZeniMax for their commitment to making amends, and congratulate these artists for having their names forever etched into the Elder Scrolls!
Not a question but I just wanted to say that you are doing the lord's work with this blog! I really admire your time and dedication spent sourcing the art and finding everything you can. This blog is so important to the fandom and I appreciate you for running it!!
Thank you! Honestly when I started this blog I was worried I'd only have a few months worth of posts at most. Instead I'm sitting at 2,500 saved works of official TES art and concept art with a lot left to add to my archive.
ATM the hardest thing isn't even finding the art itself, its finding the credit for who did it. A lot of the art gets uploaded to the Imperial Library or UESP wiki with no artist citation or source link so I have to spend time either tracking down the artist or confirming as best I can that no public credit exists for the art.

For those who were curious, here is a video showing the Salmo bread crash. Keep in mind that this will never occur under normal circumstances, as Salmo never gets any bread.
Did You Know: If Salmo the Baker ever acquires bread in his inventory, he will go to either the Two Sisters Lodge or the West Weald Inn, take a bite out of the bread, and crash the game? To avoid this happening, he has been programmed to not seek out bread, despite being a baker.
