Rickious Concept Art: Medieval architecture

[Rickious]

Ibsen's Ghost.

Dunno if they want that one yet, but if they do thats definitely where its intended for, dangerously thin, long stone bridges fit for grey wizards to do battle with Balrogs on! Maybe in a high up recess or valley between the peaks of two mountains so its not completely visible all the way around.

2. What material are the dots over the windows made of?
Stained glass, probably deep greed, blue, yellow and red but thats up to you. Maybe something more relevant, small stained glass pictures?

Cool, we already have a couple of textures like that that can be used so that won't be a problem. Pictures would be harder, though I agree it would look good as well. But before I settle either way I'll look into if there was any textures like that made on the Morrowind mod scene.

3. In a detail sketch the arches that support an upper floor seem to have a jagged profile. Was that on purpose, and if so, could you provide me with information on how you saw that being represented in 3d?
This is purely decorative. Basicallyfrom the side a curved piece of wood, the front edge is carved into upside down step shapes... if that make sense? :confused: can do more drawings if required.

Sorry, you lost me there. If you could make a simplistic perspective view of how you imagined the detail that would be great, or you could just point me to a picture on the net that has it if that would be easier.

Let me know if you would like a different style of building too. And I can imagine the /\/\ shapes at the front view as one large roof.

Actually we could use a different style of medieval houses as well, houses that would replace the Common Imperial houses Morrowind had. Any chance you would be interested in that? If so the challenge would lie in taking the existing design from TES3 and making it more detailed without losing the overall design. In essence, making the houses look like the Morrowind imperial houses would have looked like if Bethesda had made Morrowind in 2008 instead of 2002. In all likelyhood I wouldn't be able to start on those houses until a couple of months, not that there's not a decent chance someone else in the team would want to do them instead of me.

Could you take a higher-resolution photo or scan of your last concept art? I found it hard to clearly make out the details you added.

Razor i will do another photo of it. At home now and thats at work but will do it later as back at 10pm (7pm here now)

There was a close up of the supports on that last drawing but you will see that larer. Tell you what though, here is the house that caught my eye on google which is where 80% of the design came from...



If there is no hurry for the other houses i will do them after a few other things.

Also Razor, could you update the list at the beginning of the 'Jobs For Modellers' thread as im interested in taking something on...

[Rickious]

Razor, heres reposts of the last sketches...
