    Aww, a wonderful retrospective! I see I still have things to catch up on since about 2016-17 or so.

    I loved the Eric rescue story too -- though sadly I think it was an in-between story that never made it to PDF while the pics were still on Flickr.

    And I still can't believe the game has been out that long! By the Nine, eight years already?

      Thanks kindly Aaron, good to see you are still around.

      Aye the Eric story was part of a different book called the Black Wolf Company - A Soldiers Life. I told short stories of various members of the BWC and never put them into PDF. I also didn't put any of my other character stories into PDF (Kavel, Wolf, Marrok, Wulver) nor the more recent stories of Grim. I would like to but that project was a huge amount of time and work. I would have to get pretty bored, or very motivated, to do the rest.

      Plus all in all I felt the 5 books on Grim were the best of the bunch.

      Many thanks Noisepulse! Glad you enjoyed. That shot you liked is Wolf, he is Fenrir's personal guard and Captain.

    I think you are the only one I personally know, who is uploading images and stories here for that long period of time... and even when your stories and characters all bound to your Fenrir and Gaia world lore, they are always fresh and interesting, dramatically and romantic, in action and relaxing... which makes it even more outstanding for me and shows how good you are able to write and combine them into your and the game lore... it always keeps me reading, I get never bored... I hope you will go on and on, since your Skyrim and Fallout is exactly what catches my eye and mind... it distracts me from reallife when necessary and let me dive into a fantasy and fiction world where I can just let it be and enjoy.

    This is a fantastic compilation of the images you still have, since I know, you lost a lot of them on the Flickr debacle last year. If I had to choose a favorite, I would go with the portrait of Marrok

      Many thanks Tanja - I know you are using up some vacation time catching up :-)

      I do like a consistent world, even across games and such. Probably why I always tend to play a Fenn or Wolf in most games. Grim, I feel, pretty much belongs in the Skyrim world although I did have his soul exist for my DAI game - which I tied into Skyrim through the Dreamsleeve - part of his training with Hircine. But overall Fenrir is the one who travels the most - an archetype of nature and life that can exist anywhere life and nature exists.

      From the looks of things I don't see Skyrim or FO going anywhere soon. I still have stories to tell although my focus is returning somewhat to Skyrim for stories after all the writing I did with Jotun and Lobo.

    This is great set which brings nostalgic and heartwarming feelings, it was so nice to see all your characters again in one set! It is great that after 8 years you still play Skyrim and post new sets. Grim was with you from almost very beginning just like I had my Dannee from the beginning from Skyrim and I still post shots with her. Wulver looks awesome, I always like his love for rooftops and other high buildings, and he has a mischief in his eyes so I imagine at nights he might even prank some late travelers with his gargoyle poses for fun.
    I am also very intrigued about new possible short story with Grim and it was so wonderful to see past shots with Grim and his team and family again, to remeber all the stories that took place over the years, the characters and their foes, like Domina, Ancano, and others. I like to reread stories about Grim's many adventures nad it is great you have them in PDf format. Also it was awesome to remember past stories about Grim due to the shots, that old shot with Erik and young Wolfgar was so cute along with Grim rescue from Molag Bal and his servants. By the way, I think you have amazing version of Molag Bal and for me such design looks so perfectly fitting to his Skyrim voice.

      Many thanks for the very nice comment Nataly, I enjoyed reading it so much today. Aye Grim and Wulver have become my two biggest/main characters in Skyrim, with Wolf and Kavel as secondary. Grim and Wulver compliment each other as characters as they reflect my two key sides in personality - probably why I enjoy both of them so much.

      I have been toying with Grim's story for a few months now but been too distracted and tired with work and other things to write much. I was also working on Jotun the Frost Giant in FO and finally finished his stories.

      What I want to do with Grim is have a story that goes back to his roots. Meaning it won't be the big epic kind most of his have been of late. More focused on his human side with a simpler story that will see him displaying his training in the guild (he is a master at stealth, dual blades, and lock picking as far as his original abilities along with a lot of utility magic relating to the elements, nature, illusion, and healing). So no gods, demons, princes, or epic stuff - more an every day adventure that happens. With hopefully a little focus on his human relationships.

      My three favorite stories (currently it changes sometimes when I re-read his stories) for him is the one with Erik saving him from Molag's plots, the one where he rescues Wolfgar from the DB and he joins his mind with Hircine in the Wild Hunt, and the battle against Despair. I still have that version of Molag saved as it is also my favorite look for him.

    Tons of variety in your work, Jonathan. You often say you can't set up fancy shots but I disagree. Your work is always appealing and delightful to look at, great handsome characters, clever use of ENB and you're a real stickler for details, with your game looking fantastic all round

    Also don't think I ever saw Grim in his first version, I possibly wasn't around then. Very dishy in all of his iterations with his trademark smirk

    Here's to 8 more years. Which may be the case if Bethesda keeps on it's current track with the next Elder Scrolls :O

      Thanks Nathan for this very nice comment :-)

      Grim had 3 versions (I didn't include his middle iteration) and tons of fine tweaking over 3 months before I settled on the look he has now (although when I switched to some custom textures I removed the tattoo as I didn't want to much around with texture again).
