Here's the final product, scroll down if you want to see the work in progress

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is still in process, but I felt like uploading what I have done, and perhaps getting some feed back.

The Nord is Thackary (I am open to suggestions for his last name), and the wood elf is Rizerax. For the armor and weapons I wanted to compromise between historic, realistic, armor and MMO fantasy. I did a lot of studying reference images of real viking armor and lamellar leather armor.
Since Thackary's background is the Ghratwood temple, I'm thinking Riz needs to be somewhere in Skyrim, but I really haven't found an exact location for her. I mean, I went on a screen capture photo safari with her, and I'm still torn. I know I could do just a generic snow covered mountain, but I wanted it to be somewhere in game that people could recognize.
The characters are finished, and I may work on the far distance background (Behind the temple), but I'm not sure yet. This will be inked, scanned and colored with a combination of photoshop and paint tool sai.
Side note: I leveled up my Ebonheart pact character to level 10 just to be able to travel into the other zones. I ran a level 11 character through the Rift to get to Windhelm, and
I didn't die once! (I feel like I should get an achievement for that

)
