Goblin Assets

We will be including Goblins in the mod, and as such, we need some new variants on the Goblins -not big changes, just some more subtle ones that require less work, but showing it's not just stock Oblivion assets.
The easiest change we can make, is to make new tattos for the new Goblin clans -you don't even need to be a texturer to do this, all you need to be able to do is create a new design (as simple as doing a basic sketch and uploading it), and from that a texturer can create a retex of the Goblin Tattoo model, simple, easy, effective. To start off, I'd like to put the bar at atleast seven new designs, and then we'll take it from there, this should be simple, and we can have this knocked out within the week

Secondly, what we need is a retex of the Goblin clothing, to a more 'upperclass' design (e.g. butlers/servants), so that we can have Goblins working as servants in Dirreni Households (a very traditional Altmeri practise, and currently not out-lawed by the Empire, because Goblins aren't regonised citizen's of the Empire).

The next thing we need are some new models, not new architecture, just some simple things like stone carvings, totem poles, etc. A few new things to spice up the Goblins environment, and give them abit of cultural depth so they aren't just another monster to populate dungeons

Think outside of the box! Concepts would be appreciated, but if you'd like to start retexturing/modeling straight away, you've got the green light Good job!

Any further ideas are welcome, and encouraged! Don't feel anything is too small to add, as the small things are what make the mod stand out Yes

Cheers,
The Old Ye Bard

I'll see if we can get any help from Senten on this one. He may already be working on servant goblins for his Summerset Isles.

It might be worth defining various goblin tribes. That way, we can come up with designs that distinguish them from each other to use on things like shields, totems, tattoos etc.

I think both TOYB and Nick_Op have the right ideas here - we should take a look at what changes to make and the goblin tribes themselves in order to to do some organizing about how many there are and where they are located.

HR has a large number of mountainous areas, so I suspect there's lost of room for goblin cave and the like. A development thread in the Lore Discussions forum titled as "Creature Lore - Goblins" here would be a great idea to get things rolling.

Yes

Yes

We can skip directly ahead on the lore on this, and instead focus on developing individual assets for Tribes, and building on the Lore later (lore on the goblins isn't as essential as the assets for them atm), we have extensive lore that goblins exist in High Rock, so we don't need any further evidence, right now we just need concepts, retexes, and models for them

Well, to start us off, here is a Concept of a tattoo for the Clan "Big Stompy's Maggots", a Clan of Goblin's emerging after the Warp in the West who worship the Numidium as their God. Around their hideout, they have carved wooden totems of 'Big Stompy' (which I'll model soon

).

Attached is the Tattoo.
