Ignorable Suggestions

[Ein]

I this would be where to put this right? I have no idea. General didn't seem apropriate and nither did Lore... But yeah... I was crowsing through the races on TESource and came across your Tsaesci Race, and my first thought was "Argonians?" it just didn't seem to fit. to me anyways. Snakes have flat heads... not flat faces... Anyways, I spent some time doing a little research on various Wikis and what have you. Most of the information seems to just be cut and pasted... But the actual Wikipedia article was a bit longer. So I chose to latch on to the sentence "tall, beautiful (if frightening), [and] covered in golden scales." as the basis for my concept. In addition to "They are actually closely related to men, and are loosely classified as humans. This could either be due to shared origins or interbreeding with Akaviri humans." Which is probably wildly inaccurate. But it works for what I came up with.

Which is:



A cheap quick sketch which I used as a skratch board to come up with:



I dunno. I like it, and if they were more human it'd be a good reason to give them hair, so that you could have various Daimiyo and samurai cuts.

Anyways, like the title says, this is a totally ignorable suggestion. Especially being as this is my first post on this board right after making an account And I'm sure you guys've decided already on your path. But still the temptation to add in my 2 bits was too much to ignore.

I think that race was a little outdated. I saw a screen of a different version of the Tsaesci in Corthian's Japanese Archer Resource on TESSource.

Here's the picture:

I have no idea if that model is set in stone. As far as your face, I like it. Although I would probably try to make the nose a little less pronounced.

Not a bad start. Keep it up Ein... :goodjob:

I like that Naga (And the Mermaid) Bodies... But they're kind of like... Game breaking if you use them as Player Characters. The texture is awesome though.

Anyways... As for the nose... hrm... I know it's really over pronounced But I think the overall slope is important to the shape I have in mind... Maybe i should try it with the orc head mesh... Good slope, still humanoid face, it even hase some of the more asian-ish hair styles...

Only one way to find out I suppose.

Hey there Ein, welcome to the forums.

To tell you the truth, I think your face looks better than the others. It looks like a closer resemblance to snakes AND humans. You found a nice balance there.

I tried the orc head... Augh... that doesn't work at all! Unless you want some kind of disgruntled dragon man prone to tooth decay... Anyways... I think part of the problem with the nose looking like a windsail is other than the profile I didn't tweek it too much as the texture was already horribly twisted by applying it to a human head, let alone stretching the human head well beyond recomended safety levels...

But I don't know how to texture... I've tried but I always get this wierd like... bending of the texture in places I didn't expect. So I'm not really sure where to go from here... Though luckily teeth already exist that'd work for it thanks to the ever prolific Alien Slof.

Welcome to the Akavir forums Ein :cheers:

Almost nothing about how the Tsaesci look is set in stone, and we may have several sub-races, one with legs, another with only a snake tail.

I like how the head looks, it might be usefull.

Yeah welcome :jump:

I like the head, but I think it should look more...un-human..like pointed ears, not like elves though.
I dunno, just a thought.

I was thinking orc Ears, they're kind of an in-between. Fins would be cool too. But that doesn't really have anything at all to do with snakes. Unless theres some manner of befinned snake out there... I dunno... Maybe I'll just see about doing my own sub-race thing if I can make a decent enough texture... A race of Tsaesci based on Eels who live on costal islands might be interesting... Probably. Hrm... Pirate Eels... that... Tickles me... yes... :3

What to call them though... Kounagi...? That seems a bit obvious though...

[Kodama]

Sea snakes maybe, but definately not eals, as Tsaesci are know as snake men

[Tlo1048]

Yeah, orc ears would work well.
You should do a subrace. That;d be pretty cool.
Pirate eels, eh?
Sounds kinds fun to me...lol
I like Kounagi, sounds cool.
Keep up the good work Ein :goodjob:
