Concept art for Skyrim Reply to this Post Post Reply with Quote Edit/Delete Posts Report Post to a Moderator       Go to the top of this page

Hi Guys, sure some of you have seen me elswhere on this forum, click my username then click search in my profile for all my posts, or click >>HERE<< for one of my main threads with some professional drawings and some concepts for TES.

Already working on Silgrad Tower, The Elsweyr Confederacy, Black Marshes and Valenwood and thought Skyrim may benefit too.

I am happy to design...

  • ice caverns
  • igloo style buildings
  • frozen ruins
  • creatures
  • snow-specific flora
  • clutter
  • anything else you require

thanks Senten!

I think maybe a white lion would look good in Skyrim (Edited mountain lion), definitely different and could have white lion pelts too. A white tiger would look better with those chocolate brown stripes and a little mane but dont know if you could model that.

Also I feel we are missing a yeti!

Ice palace, ice caves etc would look great.

Ans is there a way to script a slippery surface? so you could slip down an ice tunnel leading to an underground area?

Sorry for not responding sooner, RL sucks atm. We currently have a rather nice icy cave retexture, and some white animals (not sure about a lion though). Waalx on the official forums is making an omgwtf huge creature expansion pack which has every creature we could ever possibly want, so hopefully he'll let us use his resources when he's done. I think you noticed my request for some flora concept art in another thread. Basically what I'm looking for is some unique mushroom designs, as well as other cold-climate plants - think like ferns, thistles, n' other stuff you might find in coniferous forests. If I could be anymore specific I would, except if I knew exactly what I wanted I probably would have modeled it already. :D

That's surely a let-off for some shipmen delivering logs , I might say :)

Annnyyyhoo... :lmao:

What about moving it up a notch and having some kind of crystalline mushroom for caves? just to be different?

I know of a few snow plants and different extreame cold species so will TESarise a few drawings up!

Is the OP also a modeller? I know Alasdair you can model things but you're busy, and I can model also but I'm busy with, ironically, modelling things for tech. I could try and incorporate some things into my projects or vice versa but nothing I'm currently doing is really conductive to a Skyrim environment: one project is about space Nazis (don't ask) and isn't all 3D anyway as the characters will be Flash animations, and the other project is set in the Middle East. The first one though is still only in planning as it's due in at the end of the year, so I'll see what I can incorporate. This thread has given me some ideas lol, as I think my space Nazis will crash on an ice planet:

* a lindworm. I could do a lindworm, I have an idea how to fit it into my project. It's going to be more of a reptilian worm than a dragon though.
* some sort of ice dwellings, as the aliens my Nazis encounter will need somewhere to live, and coincidentally would serve as great home for Skyrim's...um...we don't have Eskimoes but I'm sure someone will think of some suitable inhabitants. Something a bit special I'm thinking, perhaps Nords who live by the sea on the icefloes (do we have icefloes?) and hunt fish with spears. Like Eskimoes, except Nords.

Crystalline fungi something like this googled bridal thing. Will get to something drawn a bit more specific.


'crystalline algae' on walls of the caves. A deep highly reflective green crystal formation kind of like how frost forms in looks?

Also, have you seen Snow Flowers? Here are a few googled ones:

I like the crystalline fungi/bridal thing and the last plant, the mushrooms might be better if they weren't so garish. Anyway I just finished the damn piece of coursework that has consumed my life for the past few weeks, so I can start modeling this stuff. =)

I was checking around the net and I found some nice plants that could work in Skyrim:
Jackolantern Mushrooms
Pasque Flower(moderately poisonous, but can be brewed into a tea to fight TB)
Noble Nob Lupin
Blue Bells (more celtic than norse really, but it works)
Scottish Thistle
Scurvy Grass

Also, this isn't really a small plant or something, but I stumbled across a picture of this awesome tree covered in carvings.

Those all look real cool.

Do we currently have any custom Skyrim Plants available in the mod?

We have approximately zero. Those are one of the things we need most right now.
