I actually already replied at DA, but I'll reply here too anyway. I do
everything in photoshop, so yes, the background is purely digital, no
real paper was used. |

Hmm yes, I could use that, the crystal(daedra summoning) I can use them
for my cathedral etc. btw I finally finished sketching
now I can color it, need to color it for 80% tomorrow, but I got all day. Anyway I'm going to bed.

@Raggidman:
Making the bridges a network of roots growing from branch to branch
connecting to various areas is a good idea. In fact, the roots could
actually be offshoots of the root buildings. I'm not sure whether or
not planting a symbiotic plant on the tree is in breach of the green
pact though. The plant buildings would feed off of the main tree for
sustenance, but wouldn't cause it serious harm.
About the marble buildings, you're right, they would have to belong to
the rich Bosmer, and they would probably be attatched directly to the
trunk, not on branches, since they'd be the heaviest buildings.
I think that most of my designs were in line with the green pact, with
the possible exception of the wooden ladder leading up to the root
building, but it could easily be wood imported from another province,
or wood from an already dead tree. The Bosmer can't cut down living
trees, but if it's already dead, they can harvest it, I think.
As for the leaf acting as a ramp/door, while it is a cool idea, it
seems a little uneccessary. If the interior is going to be a seperate
cell, there wouldn't need to be any animation, since it would just
trigger a loading screen immediately. Maybe the leaf could be the ramp,
then there would be a silk or canvas curtain for a door, or something
more solid, like deadwood. Or even another leaf, really. Maybe I'll do
a few door sketches to open up options so we can customize each
building a little.
I'm not sure what crystal obelisks you're referring to, but it sounds
like an interesting idea. Maybe the ones with crystals and bound
creatures would be the homes of Bosmer spellcasters, where you would go
to learn spells, and the ones with stone obelisks would just be regular
people's houses. |

Hmm as far as I know Bosmer neither harvest dead trees. But they import
wooden things, they seem to love woodcrafted objects from Cyrodill.

Thats ok. Valenwood has complicated lore, especially when it comes to
the Green pact. By the way, to all our contributing concept artists:
People over at the ESf are really liking the art work, so keep it up

I just saw the thread asking for modellers. I thought I should mention
that the big things sticking out of the roof of the marble building I
designed weren't intended to be crystals, they were supposed to look
like leaves carved from stone. They could be crystals too though, I'm
not picky. |

I have not seen the rule for that. We can make walls out of what ever
materials that are available to to the Bosmeri People. Stone can also
be used for walls, but that is much easier to make than full blown
architecture in the shape of leaves.

Hehe, indeed you are. A problem this may have as a model is the stairs,
aparently stairs in oblivion can only be so steep before it starts to
'whack' (for lack of a better word) out. Again, great concept.

I love your bonsai concept. I think it can best be used in a somewaht
hilly area close to Summerset Isle, maybe surrounded by pineforests.
Hmm maybe I gonna sketch some things tomorrow

I mean in Dance in the Fire a town surrounded by a stone wall is mentioned and burned down.

Someone posted an idea about the Green Pact referring to digging rock

That is amazing work. Cyrodiilic, Impereal, but this is perfect for
using at the border. And we need to remember that the Imperials were
sent to rebuild.

Well here are two concepts I found, which might help architecturally wise:

Both are from Lothlorien. They use wood, we can't really because of the
Green Pact. But thanks anyway. Furhter copywright is a problem
We can't really reporduce what on the sketches...

I think I got even one of his pictures in a book of concept art of
LotR, and is anyone else pratically unable to use this forum? I can't
seem to load more then one page every 10 mins
It really sucks... mail me, don't PM

Thank you for the concepts Killamike. What we need to think is this:
These Bosmer a living near the border (as that is our main
concentration point right now, however that doesn't mean we can't work
on other parts in concepting aswell), they would need to adapt to some
imperial ways, would they even go so far as to use wood for their
housings?
Maybe they use contractors to build it for them? If any of those are
true then Killamikes pictures (yes, I know they are from LotR) make a
lot of sense.

Its a pity we cant use the LOTR stuff, those structures never cease to amaze me.
The second picture is how I imagine Falinesti.

It would be very small for Falinesti, but it's a good guess at how it will look like, and my own image is a bit like that too.

It's merely for inspiration, although I agree about the better part

Fianlly new architecture
It's a house inside a "hill" with a tree on it. The house is fortified
by all the roots that run through it. The entrance is a gate from big
flowerplants, like some sort of rose. Then it's connected to the "hill"
by some sort of tunnel of leaves. Anyway I proberbly upload another
sketch of the entrance etc. Now I'm dead tired and haven't slept good
for week, because of schoolprojects...

It's very nice, but I'm wondering about the practicality of it for
normal people. I'm thinking this one is for castle type defenses or
royalty.

It isn't that big and you live underground between the roots so I say common style.

The problem is it doesn't look common, but at the same time I don't
want you to change it because I like it. It seems better suited for
Higher ups.
