concept art

[Ixidors Bane]

Ok, here is a newly updated concept drawing of Balmora (most edits are done per KuKulzA suggestions):

Balmora Concept 01

- I added in the large docks at the sound end, and a couple smaller ones in the north.

- Watch towers at the north, south and south-east guard the enterances to the city.

- The Odai itself has been widened (and deepened, but you can't see it) all throughout the city and down south past the docks.

- A stronghold and gate have been added to the southeast enterance for security, but at the moment, the is only the tower watching the north.

- The island just below the south wall has been cut down, to allow smaller boats access to the docks in the north of the city.

- The bridges would most likely be raised higher (not draw bridges) but the smaller boats would need to be able to lower masts (or have none) to get them and the walls. I could always take out the walls, or cut openings in them and make the bridges draw, if that would make more sense.

So you can get a sense of what really changed, here is a drawing of the original Balmora layout:

Questions, comments, complaints...?

looks nice... as for the growing population of Balmora....may I suggest 3 story buildings? give it a more urban feel... more allyways... perfect for thieves....assassins... gang wars... escaped pets.... hidden stashes of stolen goods... etc.etc.


also for a quest suggestion:
Ajira and Galbedir have a feud... maybe it'll end up as a 'cat-fight'.... or literally a cat fighting a wood elf...
and maybe by order of the higher=ups you will need to help resolve their arguements.... maybe settling it and escorting one of them to a distant mages guild.... maybe like Ald Ruhn....
but, you can also secretly egg them on... and get them to be so angry as to challenge each other in the arena..... hahaha

well, if you want something that would turn peopel away from the project rather than to it, ill do some :-P

[KuKulzA]

I am in the process of drawing guars... just to let you guys know

[Arbiter]

I get a feeling that we'll be seeing another masterpiece.

[KuKulzA]

those sketches don't even come close to masterpiece

[Arbiter]

Since they're the only ones here, they do.
It's meant as a compliment.

No counting map sketches.

heres a guar... and the watchman... who's wearing guar-hide armor, yes it is guar-hide armor... Redoran is the Great House that has the most exports of Guar hide and has guar is greater abundance.
the scanner made it come out way too bright... stupid old scanner...
should get a new one, but saving up for a new PC to play TES4!

[Arbiter]

I think it came out allright. Great work! :goodjob:
Guar Hide Armor rides guar..... can you smell the irony?
