One is mostly elven in appearance, except he is slightly tinted and has smaller fins then the concept you posted. The other looks like the concept you posted.

how about elvish structure, but with flabbier cheeks like a fishes, a dorsal fish with whisker-hair (like cat-fish), and leathery skin? wow about tops are darker green-blue and bellies are whiter, like many fish.... and maybe the feet are webbed for to allow easier swimming...
but still retaining much of the Mer look because they aren't fully adapted, maybe they just have large chests and lungs and come up for air, and also have colonies on land still?

I like that.

And how about some of their features retract after sustained life on land.

I have an idea actually...

what if when they are born, they are cradled in guarded tidal pools... and then as they grow in adolescence and young adults they are able to go on land more and their fishy features disappear... but as they grow older they return to the sea more often and to their under-water settlements...

though their adaptations grow and recede, they still retain some fishy aspects and mostly Mer aspects, though those who spend nearly all their time in the ocean look almost like humanoid fish with a Merish facial features and body...
however. in a way they are born with a choice of land or water being in both, and then when young they are careless and ambitious to conquer the land, but soon go back to the water to grow older and wiser...and die...

though older Ulsmer maybe more powerful, they will have developed a yearning for water... while younger Ulsmer may be more foolish and belligerent, they are loath to leave their terrestrial freedom (and danger)

so the semi-free culture of the Ulsmer allows them to go on land and sea, but also accomodates for their posterity... and forces cooperation as older sea Ulsmer are wiser and more powerful, but younger ones maintaining terrestrial homes and mediating between other Aldmer and the sea-Ulsmer...
and both protect the young on the sea-shores in special guarded birht pools...




how about it?


EDIT: is concept art welcome? I may be able to have time for some drawing by the end of the week

awesome! So as kids, they are born in water, with fish features, then when they reach adulthood they go onto land and evolve to a more normal elven structure, then when they begin to grow old, they return to the sea and grow their fish features back?

yes, I know you like it Wink
no, I did not vote...

I'm never a big fan of Mer... big deal, who cares.... they usurp the way of things with Dreugh and Argonians and other betmer... they act all high and mighty and above nature and above NATIVE sentients thinking that they are so great and god-descended... WOW... talk about racial arrogance...
only Dunmer and Orsimer have stood out as interesting in my eyes... the others... well a few things interesting and most things just.. not so great...

plus I don't even know what there is here anymore...
Drethemer are like underground? Cresmer are like remnants of the old nobles? Verkamayer are like earthy volcanic warrior types? Senmer are snow dudes... Volsmer are woody folks... and Ulsmer are seamen... haha sea - men... semen....
so immature of me :D

Sorry that you don't like mer, I'm actually a fan of argonians, I'm actually not too crazy about mer either, but I started this mod because it would give me so many creative options.

When the Ulsmer reach adulthood and emerge on land, does their skin color change?

Yeah, Altmer are ok, but I HATE Bosmer, they are such selfish jerks in oblivion.

why tridents? you guys are thinking too mermaid-ish...

but whatever... go ahead... maybe somethng original may come out of it? or a new way of using an old idea?

tridents are normally quite heavy weapons... of course water makes it "weigh less" but still, quite heavy....

Tridents are unique, they don't appear in any of the Elder Scrolls games.
