Uhm, well it's scaled and non-mammal kind of dragon-like I suppose, and very dangerous. I imagine it 2-3 meters tall, but that's just me.

the beast is most deffinatly a scary individual and thats one heck of a nice peice of work.
I wasnt quite finished before a server glitch lol

anyway I am seeing angular features now gal will be posting something that I do belive we can fit this beast into

Hmm.. could it possibly be an Ice creature? This little piece of lore would fit perfectly:

The young men go out for weeks into the high peaks in the dead of winter, hunting the ice wraiths that give them claim to full status as citizens

The angularity of your creature might work well for the Ice Wraith!

Yeah! It could very well be an ice-creature. I?ve never had any specific plans for it. I had it laying around, so I thought I?d post it for inspiration...

The only thing I thought when drawing it was that it?d be non-organic, and non-soft to the touch

my first impression was that it was a weird creature than would freeze in winter but emerge in spring when thawed out and invaded around, mate, then birth, and freeze up once winter comes.... I dunno

I think an Ice creature would be more active in winter, possibly retreating to the highest peaks or hibernating through the warm summer months.

whatever the case ( yeah I'm wrong Blush

), they do emerge afterwards.... so what if they die, they are immortalized withthe freeze and thaw, the eggs than hatch, and the supply of blood offered by man and beast... Yes

thats quite interesting. for some reason the skull chest peice strikes me a odd as well as the scull shin guard would definatly hamper movement and bang like the devil on the knee cap.

this is my first impression though

That armor is pretty awesome Sulan. I like the arranged bones for the shin guard, but not the skull. I'm not sure what the cap with the tail would look like, but if it's anything like Daniel Boone's racoon cap, I don't like it. Maybe if it were just a bit larger (fluffy) without the tail...

You know.. If you took those small rib bones on the shin guard and wove them together with bright sinews, a few beads or whathaveyou.. then leather lacings to tie them on.. Bone Mail..

For the chest piece.. try smaller, uniform bones, woven together (similar to what some of the native american tribes did with quills). Again it can be decorated beautifully. The head piece.. you would have to have something under the fur for strength and support to hold the shape, however I would also lose the tail unless it was a different color from the body fur and could then be used to ornament the helm by wrapping or arranging it somehow (not just dangling).

Gauntlets or bracers... Either very fine bones woven together or leather. Stitch claws or talons along the knuckles and perhaps the points of the wrist (only if they will not interfere with your bow or anything else).

Leggings I would say would be reinforced leather. You could perhaps put a line of teeth or claws down the outside of the legs. You might also have solid smooth bone plates stitched to the front and back of the thighs for extra protection. Carved and painted or ornamented as well.

Pauldrons.. hmm.. go with the old Bloodmoon idea of small animal heads? Or.. use smooth, flat bones to form the pauldrons, carved and decorated as you wish.

I could see this being the armor of choice for hermits and wandering itinerant warriors. My thinking behind this is that it would be armor that say a single warrior living high in the mountains in a solitary cabin could spend the dark nights of winter putting together and decorating.

Perhaps a small quest to retrieve a set of Bone Mail for the local Lord or museum (or something like that anyway)?

Just a few ideas.. hehe.. Whatcha think?

Gal

Ok, I've got my scanner working again and here are two concept armors.

1.Barborous Armor: This armor is pieced together from steel, chain mail, fur, and bone. It's a heavy armor type, slightly more durable than steel armor. This armor is quite common in Skyrim, and used by adventurers, bandits, mercenaries, ect. It's especially common in the colder, snowier regions of Skyrim because it's durable, light weight as heavy armor goes, and warm. The armor often replaces steel armor, as it is better suited to moving through the snow.

2. Berserker Armor: I haven't put much thought into this one. Basically it's just skins and rags pieced together to form armor. It's low-mid quality medium armor, favored by berserker types.

I hope to have more concepts up soon

That's a really interesting idea, it would probably be one of the most unique armors in Oblivion.

Absolutely wonderful Siegfried! I can see a skilled armorer toiling for days to create such pieces and spending hours hunched over it afterwards as he etches in each symbol and design.

Ya know the lobster is best suited for subterrain lakes and rivers. could be found in the gorge portion. its fur could be used for dresses and armor adornments as well as decorations for house hold items.
possable quest ??

what ya think ??

don't forget the meat! lobster jerky.... a lobster of that type's meat would definitely be chewy and tough Yes

not too appetizing but maybe something funny like if you eat it your fatigue goes down like 50 pts. Lol

KuKulzA you better go get a snack LOL but you make a very good point there and I will admit I overlooked the food aspect of the lobster but I dont think calling it a lobster will fly but naming it can come at a latter date

Come to think of it the helmet might look better without horns, I was just thinking of raiders and vikings when I made the guy, if the horns on the helmet go then the horn on the shield should probably go too.

Answer: The chest piece is chainmail, but the upper, fluffy part is an animal hide.

the more I look at the chest peice the more I see ring mail and scale mail type armor more so than chainmail but if chainmail it is I do belive I have a suitable texture for it.

the fur part I was thinking could come from the lobster that galrina posted. since it would most deffinatly be water repelent and good proof against the cold.
any more ideas on this ??

Ring Mail would work fine too, lobster fur would be good, it might be easier and more believable though to use the troll skin that will come packaged in Oblivion.

Here is something I sketched a while back. It could be used as a Daedric Lord/General. After we finish Riften, the main quest of the next area we do could be centered around hunting down the Daedra that came through the gates of Oblivion, this guy being the final boss.
