Surrounded by rumors, a peculiar painter roams the night. Will you help him and become his apprentice? To start the quest, talk to Veradul Dervayn, the artist, who for some odd reason prefers to paint at night. BCOM compatible. The painter will appear after 24 hours the first time you visit him. MWSE and OpenMW compatible.

Changelogs
Version 5.5
Adds an equipable paintbrush, easel and paint palette. Changed the main storyline, adjusted dialogue, fixed an incompatibility with "Ald Ruhn BCOM Plus (fighters guild door)", added a bunch of unique items such as an iron buckler.
Version 5.4
Version 5.4 adds a global for cross mod communication with "Devilish Vampire Overhaul" . I updated both mods and introduced cross mod functionalities. If you use both mods, I think you will appreciate this update. If not, no need to update. DVO can use OAAB helmets if MaM is installed. Blood drinking in MaM (Khatlura, or blood bowl) will satiate DVO thirst. No longer requires specific load order if you want the OAAB helmet functionality in DVO. Both mods work perfectly fine on their own but now they work even better
Version 5.3
Version 5.3 adds more OAAB helmets to conceil vampirism, fixes a bug in Eight Plates, eliminates the necessesity for a specific load order with BCOM. This is a purely technical update and also makes the mod cleaner.
Version 5.2
Major quest update, extending the "siding with the painter" questline.
Version 5
Doubles quest content for siding with the painter. You can become his apprentice and paint many portraits for nobles! If you are dressed as the Painter of Shadows (or wear a closed helmet), people won't recognizse you as a vampire.
Version 4.2
Swapped out the "final" painting with something more sinister. Bittergreen slime is now sold be the local alchemist. Extra dialogue options.
Version 4.1
Removed one branch that annoyed me. No need to update from 4.0
Version 4
Modified Pod appearance, added stairs to access pods, added lots of art by Levchenko, modified the dialogue (such as Khatlura telling you to wait if Master not there), improved player home functionality.

Load order BCOM -> no longer requires a specific load order since version 5_3

Spoiler:
Show

Other: Please turn "shield sheithing" from the mod "weapon sheithing" off if you have it or closely follow the instructions of Animated Morrowind and Weapon Sheathing patch for OpenMW (or the violinist will be playing with no violin)
This mod won the 3rd place of the modjam and received following awards: - Most Melodious Mushroom Masterpiece and More Award - Best Abstract Art Award - Peace and Tranquility for Slavers Award - Most intriguing Characters Award - Best Dialogue Award - A True Telvanni Award
I'm the Painter of Shadows. For all nights must die at dawn. Their births unseen, their passings unmourned. I paint their journey. Their lively spirits captured in paint dancing in defiance of dawn. - Veradul Dervayn
