Greetings Nords! Long time lurker, first time poster here. I'm a huge fan of Nords (it's the only race I play :D ), so I fully support Skyrim for Oblivion. I think what you guys are doing is great, so I wanted to help out a bit by doing some concept art. It's not great, but I'm no Van Gogh. Here it is--





I hope everyone likes it. Comments and constructive criticism are appreciated. :) Also, I'd be more than willing to take any requests you guys have.

Welcome Azazel! Jump Jump

I really like the detail on that armor, that chain pattern could have been very rushed but it isn't. Also that dagger is excellent as well as all the other concepts. Good job!

I can't think of any weapon or armor concepts that we need right now, but new ideas on architecture are always nice to see. You can draw what you like really as I can see you know the feel that we're trying to give Skyrim. :)

Anyway..... welcome to Beyond Cyrodiil. Bounce

All these people welcoming me and complimenting my art... it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. :) I'll get started on the architecture as soon as I can, maybe in a day or two. I have two projects that are due this week, and an essay. Frown Freakin' school, makes me wanna punch a baby.

You do know that if you DO punch a baby we (The Skyrim for Oblivion project) will not bear any legal responsibility for your actions. :D

Anyway you are very welcomed and I look forward to seeing more of your stuff... no skipping school though! :D (I know... not nearly as funny as I think I am)

So there is another Nord purist out there! You must like to dance close to the fire don'tcha. Well of course it would remind you of the Rohan stuff from LotR. They're based off of the nordic peoples of northern Europe! But that said, Bravo! Excellent concepts, though I wouldn't go with the horns in the helmet approach. It's too cliche to me.

Also, you might want to add a little more fur to the chainmail. You have to remember, it's really freaking cold in some places, and while nords are resistant to frost, not everyone else is. Besides, it just looks cool. I like how you kept the established Nord look, it reminds me of the Skaal.

I love the helmet, dagger and waraxe in particular.

Also the soldier has a very good nordic look to him. Not some huge Conan style barbarian wearing some dead beast for once lol.

I also note your namesake is that of a demon, and your display pic is of Furbies...fitting indeed...evil creatures

Speaking of modelling I've become pretty adept at it in Maya over the past few months. I'd like to have a go at something but I don't know what yet.

Well weapons are easy to do and fun. Architecture is also easy, but can be time consuming. Getting Armour in-game is confusing as hell though.

I was thinking something that's NOT weapons or armour. It's the background stuff like architecture, furniture, misc items etc that makes the game feel different and not just a retex of Oblivion. Personally I'd like to have a go at some furniture Yes

I know what you mean. Back in April when I managed to port the Nordic Silver Battle Axe into my game, I started messing around with armor to see how I could do it...hoping that if something paid off I would donate it to the cause (obviously not using Morrowind assets), but I failed after a few weeks of trying and haven't really attempted again since. Its one of those situations where you get the kinda get the idea of it but not enough for it to work.

I love the detail on the blade of the Axe.
maybe put some of those cool details into the blades of the sword, simple things like that isn't to hard to change on the models as will, as you add in some paint lines. otherwise good work keep the stuff coming
