Helm concept Reply to this Post Post Reply with Quote Edit/Delete Posts Report Post to a Moderator       Go to the top of this page
Just saw your thread on the official TES forums, the part about the concept art was of particular interest to me. I could most likely help out with this, so I quickly drew up a helm (possibly nordic silver helm) to get some feedback from you guys.

Regular to the left, winged to the right. Any thoughts?

Welcome to Skyrim for Oblivion, Psychotic Wave

It looks very nice. Similar to Aun's stuff which you can see in this thread

Welcome to Skyrim for Oblivion Jump

Nice helm concept, but I was thinking for wings something more this effect http://www.legionsix.org/wingedffront.jpg (minus the fin and junk on top of the helm Wink ) Also could you try putting in fewer designs, but make them weave and intertwine with eachother more?

The mask gave me an idea: why not make the mask and helm seperate pieces, and you can put both on at the same time for double protection. That gives the player freedom with customization, and a nice bonus.

Nordic Silver Armor Reply to this Post Post Reply with Quote Edit/Delete Posts Report Post to a Moderator       Go to the top of this page
Finished the Nordic Silver Armor:

Grayscale version

full color version

There could be a bit more silver, but that can be easily changed.

Siegfried: "Also could you try putting in fewer designs, but make them weave and intertwine with eachother more?"

I'm not sure I get what you mean. Something like this?

Exactly.

The armor concept looks very nice though, your style reminds me a bit of the armors in Fable. I think we could make your armor concept be a high end set of armor called "Bronze fiber-weave", as it looks to powerful to be a mid-quality armor like Nordic Silver Armor is.

For the Silver armor I suggest going heavy on the plates and chainmail, don't give it any fur. For design you can look below; That's kind of what I was thinking, but the Nordic weapons from Morrowind or the concept you linked is a better example. Also it should resemble the silver weapons in Oblvion a little bit.

Siegfried: Yeah, every time a try to draw a simple armor it turns into something fancy, I'm not beyond hope though. :D Will experiment with your suggestions a bit and see what I can come up with.

The problem is less that its fancy and more that it is fantastic. There is nothing wrong with fantastic, but only high level armors should be fantastic. Silver armor should be kind of ornate and fancy, but it should also be something that you can see average Eric the guard captain wearing, or find a few pieces for sale at the local smith's. The woodwork on the Bruma buildings is also a good source of inspiration.

They are supposed to be made of stone and wood mainly, but yes they are large.

I really like this helmet:

Considering the Thu'um is based on voice and the helmet's emphasis on the mouth, I think it fits, right ?

They would all fit more or less, but I agree, that's a good helm. Yes
