New Artist Here (a few concepts) Reply to this Post Post Reply with Quote Edit/Delete Posts Report Post to a Moderator       Go to the top of this page

I noticed your thread on the offical forums, and the project instantly got my attention. My player is rarely a nord, but I love the culture and designs, even if I tend to exagerate a bit too much. I can only really do art for this project till the 12th, (when I go back to school) but I'm more than willing to give you guys whatever you may need. I'll be checking in of course, and I'll try to make time as well. I go to an art school, and the freshman year is insane when it comes to the workload.

Specialties would be more along the lines of creature design and humaniods, but I could muster some landscapes as well.

Here's a few things. One new sketch for the thread (the armor concept) and two extras from my sketch book that related to the material possibly and I threw it in.



Always wanted to do some modding but was never really skilled with the CS, and I'm very uneducated when it comes to 3d.

Anything you want drawn, just let me know. I own a tablet for the computer and can paint in photoshop as well. Feel free to visit my deviantart, but nothing there is really all that interesting.

Welcome to Skyrim for Oblivion -mp- !
Wave

Those concepts are great, I like the Minotaur one. Good job!

You can do concepts for whatever you like really - architecture, weapons and armour would all be good things to do.

Hello there and a warm welcome to Skyrim!!! =)

Wow those concepts are awesome, you have great talent and skill!! Good job! I also like the minotaur one most! Yes

As Alasdair said, anything is good use since there has?nt been very much concepts coming up lately. I?d suggest browsing the forums a little to get familiar with the project and get a feel for what is needed.
:)
Looking forward to see more of your work!!!

Welcome -mp-! Jump

The Minotaur does look awesome! Yes

Would you be interested in drawing a few concepts based on the architecture models in this thread. Corwyn (the guy who modeled that architecture) left the team a while back and his vision of that architecture style and the few finished models left with him. If you can come up with a few good concepts for it we might be able to restart work on the set. =)

Excellent stuff, I'm really impressed with emotions you present especially with that lady over there and her arrogant snobbish look. Good job!

And welcome to Beyond Cyrodiil of course (I stopped counting a long time ago Psychotic :D ).

Wow, thanks for such a great welcome! I looked at that thread Psychotic and I can't see why I wouldn't do it. Over all, you just want a style defined and developed with basic builds and arrangements? Do you want this historically accurate, or can it be inspired for the most part. To throw in something eye grabbing, would that be cool?

Here's two more sketches out of another sketchbook of mine. The first is just a ceature design. I consider it a night beast. The emblems of his arms glow when he is attacking, either a bright orange or bright bright blue. He has two sets of eyes, one for very low light situations and one for normal. Only one can be open at a time. The rather fragile face is encased in a very strong bone-like material. It runs on all fours, but can use a kick attack, as well as swing with the arms, and charge. I wanted to include the little guy with the horns down there so you got an angry zombie and very stylized bear :D



This second one is sort of funny, but I noticed my art history teacher would make a great warrior sans his glasses. So I had to giv the legendary Dr. Knotts an oblivion style look.



I'll try to get to some buiilding concepts up here soon, and maybe a creature or two since they are just fun to do.

Doesn't have to be that way, attacks and all, just ideas that I was thinking of when I drew it. Do with them as you all want.

Wow, the new drawings are excellent! Good job!

It would be really cool if someone modeled the creature in your first drawing, I think it can actually use the troll animations as they would be a good approximation of the attacks and movements you described (except for the charge attack).

Yes

The architecture style in the thread I posted is for use in Winterhold, the capitol of Skyrim. You have the freedom to use your imagination since it's not strongly based on any historical buildings from the real world. The architecture should include low, middle, and high class buildings, but you can concentrate on the middle class ones as the higher and lower class buildings are only variations of that style. Also the buildings should look very "capitolish" if possible (I have no idea what I mean by that, but all in all the buildings should look impressive Tongue ), and some of them should go up to 3 stories in height.

All the rest is up to you. =)

Thanks again for the kind words.

I understand about the achitecture now. I got a few ideas going now dealing with shacks, homes, apartment style living, shelters, manors, religious structures, and possible watch towers.

I can incorporate wooden, carved pillars and balconies into the designs to give it the upper class feel. On top of that the complexity of rooflines could give that feel. Big chimneys and such. I'm sort of excited about this. After I get home I will most likely crash since I've only really had 2 hours of sleep since noon yesterday. College has reaked havoc on my sleep cycle. First thing tommorrow I'll get started on this.

I'll do some basic sketches of a few different styles, and I'll post to see which ones you all like.

I have a skeleton, nordic warrior sketch I just rememebered around here somewhere. I saw somewhre on the forum here, something about them.

Aw'right, aw'right! Enough of this nicey, nicey stuff! GET TO WORK!! :D

Ya said yer good with PS? Yes Well, I need a rock texture with runes on it - I'd prefer a 256x256 or 512x512 texture with the normal map. I'd like several various runes on it, with a border section also. I'll uv map the various runed Solstheim rocks to this texture as needed. You can use the westwealdburned texture as a base if you wish, since that's what I've used on all the other Solstheim rocks. If you've played Bloodmoon, you probably know the rocks I'm talkin about - but I can't just steal the BM texture, 'cause Beth don't like it. Mad

Hate to rain on the parade, but I have only ever worked with a texture once in my life and it turned out looking like an ugly terd. I just don't get it. When I'm referring to PS I mean moreso that I can paint and color the concepts if the need is there. I'm sure I'll paint a few just for fun anyway.

I'll probably give it a shot anyway, but don't count on anything but "ugly terd" runes. Wink

That looks great man! I love that big "Night Beast" of yours, kinda reminds me of twilight beasts from Zelda Twilight Princess. That is one creature I really think we should have modeled and included in Skyrim, only problem I can think of is what skeleton would it use.

Wow, love your concepts!
I think the very 1st one is a little too futuristic, but still awesome..
I like the minotaur one the most, it is sooo detailed.
Great Work!
And WELCOME TO TES IV:SKYRIM!!!
