Elder Scrolls/Thief doodles

I've been playing the Elder Scrolls games ever since Arena was released 11 years ago, so it's always been one of my main fandoms. One of the characters I always loved was Morgiah, who turned up in TES II: Daggerfall, but much to my annoyance didn't get any cameos in the later games, even though her brother and mother did. She's a dark-elf princess who's got all kinds of nefarious contacts, including the famed necromancer, the King of Worms.
I'm not very happy with the background on that one, because I suck at landscape.
A WIP:
A scribbly one of the King of Worms, meant to convey more movement (my style is pretty static and boring, usually):
And, uh, yeah:
I'm only just getting into Oblivion art; I'd love to draw Martin, but I don't quite feel up to it yet. This is a sketch of my PC, Shamanih, a half-Redguard half-wood-elf mage-piratey-thiefy type person. I wanted to give her a sort of Egyptian look - her skin will be quite dark, but her eyes will be green. Thoughts? Criticism? (Sorry about the bad quality - it's a digital photo; my scanner packed up last week.)
I don't know whether any of you have played it, but I'm also in love with the Thief series. Garrett, the protagonist, is just sex on legs and also very cool. I've made two attempts at him so far. This one I wanted to make very blurry, with just the electronic eye (that's the green gleam) and the stolen necklace leaping out:
This one I did using some really posh pencils, that come out like wax if you press hard and blend. I wanted the two light sources to be the main point of interest in this; the moon above, and the streetlight below:
I hope this isn't too many pictures to have all in one post! I'd just like to say, as well, thank you very much to all of you for making us newcomers feel so welcome. It's very much appreciated!
Well... not quite so appropriate now I changed it. Sorry, Jadikins. <3 <3

I love the dress designs in the first two - very beautiful and feminine. I also think your Garrett depicts him really well. Nice work with the light and shadow in the last one - two light sources can be really tricky, but you managed to make it work.
Yaaaayyy new artists! Please post more! And do give Martin a try, I would love to see your take on him.

I'm aware that they look a bit immature, but I was still finding my feet. I'm trying to work harder on anatomy now, rather than just focusing on clothes, so that when I start doing costume designs again, they'll look more natural. The WIP in my first post is an example of that - I was really trying to fit the clothes to the body, not the body to the clothes.
I'd love to try Martin one day! I will try and make him look like Sean Bean, though... and then god help us all

This one kind of reminds me of a song. (Which is probably a good thing, by the way. )This one I wanted to make very blurry, with just the electronic eye (that's the green gleam) and the stolen necklace leaping out:

Thank you for your comments, but the link doesn't work! What song is it?
