I have a couple of concepts to post as well. These three images are pencil sketches included in "The Daggerfall Chronicles", the official hint book from Bethesda. (Note: all images are copyright Bethesda Softworks 1996.)

I suspect that these are concept art for the various towns and cities in TES2 - if so, it looks like they captured much of the feel of this in Skingrad in Vanilla OB. (I'd personally like to adapt the castle below for Jehanna, as one thought.)

Yes

The images are, from left to right:

1. A detail shot of a High Rock castle.

2. A wide shot of the same location including town walls, houses and either a Mage Guild or Temple partially cut off the the right. (Sorry - it was cut off in the actual book, so I don't have the rest of it.)

3. A typical street scene from a High Rock town.

Braggi has attached these images (downsized versions):

looks sweet, ill post thoughts tomorow. just two requests:
1) could you please keep the fjord images to more appropriate threads as they have nothing to do with architecture? just organizational ya know
2) the blue add links really annoy me :/ they are the 2nd img/url, and are really simple to remove.

I see betony as using a lot more wood than the other cities, lots of wooden docks close to the water. a really simple, sleepy setting, perhaps disguising hidden turmoil.

Like an evil cult that turns people into fish men!! D: [Lovecraft is the shizz]

But anyway, Betony's architecture has already been/being made, example:

one of my favorite highrock images is this cottage righthere:



it would go wonderfully as camlorn imho. the surroundings, namely a lush, colorful garden, are also something that I think are very appropriate for highrock.

the benony house is a good start, but looks kinda boxy atm imho. maybe bevel the door and window frames? also, perhaps the top floor can slightly overhang the bottom (supported by wood pillars, maybe)?

Lady N: Because I've already UV mapped it, and made colision for it, it means abit more work to do that, as a compromise, I'll make seperate window/door frames that can be put in by modders (and it means I can more quickly make more buildings, without having to make frames on each). I won't be jettying the upper stories, as I'm trying to stay very close to the inspiration imagery for the Betony architecture (because I've actually been to the place where the architecture is from, and once it's all made, and arranged into a town, you'll see how effective it looks :D But I can always make variants later if the need arises, the design itself is quite simpe).

Your Camlorn pic has been added to the first post :)

Another pic for Farrun:
