Description

"Lake Ilinalta was nothing like the little pools, fens and tarns she had encountered earlier. Nestled between the mountains and forest on the border of Falkreath and Whiterun Hold it stretched out for miles and miles. Tiny little islands dotted its deep blue surface with green specks and left behind the impression it was all made out of one huge chunk of lapis lazuli."~ From Aronansa chapter 055

 Have a lovely, happy, healthy and artistic summer everyone!  

I have also made a step-by-step overview of how this illustration was made.

This is nice    Lake Ilinalta is one of my favourite water locations, it is just so "safe" and looks like it is really pleasant to swim in the warm water.

Mine too! I love how peaceful it is, well as long as you enter the Slaughter Fish free zone that is!

Yep.. but the slaugterfish in Skyrim are pretty harmless, just little bit biting on your leg... compared to the ones in ESO, which kill you almost instantly :S

It is so hard not to draw her mischievously. I swear, that smirk just pops up automatically!

If she hasn't already done it she's is surely going to do that within the next few minutes. 
That smirk cannot be trusted!!!     

 Yessss, go for the eyes!!!

No problems, this is a great piece. Even though I'd refrain from entering the lake, my Khajiit fur would get wet.

Yeah, she's up to something. I don't trust the little bitch when she's flashing that smirk, I bet she's gonna hide your clothes or something like that.
