Tried to be efficient in creating as many characters from one base mesh.
I warped a zbrush body to the shape and scale of a dunmer provided by eloth and happychap.
I intend to bake some of the colour from the skyrim body to the high poly
Seeing as how its red mountain, lets assume all the creatures of dagoth ur are derived from only Dunmer.
From this base sculpt we can create at least 4-5 creatures:
Ash Ghoul: Add sculpt detail, collapse face, add snout, add clothing.
Ash Slave: Add sculpt detail, add cloth.
Ash Zombie: Add sculpt detail, collapse face.
Ash Vampire: Add sculpt detail, add armour/claws.
Ascended Sleeper: Use arms, make thinner, clothing.
Corprus Stalkers: modify heads, add corprus detail.
Here's the thing.
What the hell does Dagoth Ur do to make Ash creatures?
Does he use the power of lorkhans heart to harden the bodies of the dunmer and enslave their minds? perhaps some hardened ash on the bodies that act like armour?
I get confused between that and Corprus/Blight.
Get talking, I wanna get to grips with the details/concepts.
I'm up for expanding on original morrowind designs and having more than naked dunmer with no faces.
don't ask me, I'm doing
don't ask me, I'm doing environments now.
That is all well and good.

This is from the actual art
This is from the actual art book. It looks like the growths on the Ascended Sleeper are used to play the Sleeper's face as an instrument, which makes sense as they are often found in bell chambers. Not sure what the connection between acoustics and the Heart is, but you'll also note that the title of the dwemer architect who built it includes the word Tonal. Just a thought. This also shows the protrusion in the Ash Ghouls to be a horrifying warping of the skull and a proboscis, lending even more credence to the the theory that the Sleeper is a continued evolution. That said, it also seems like everything that eventually gets hollowed out to form the hole in the Zombie's face is already vacant in the Slave with the face just crumbling away like someone mentioned earlier. I tend to agree that the Vampire is a wholly different animal, not having been afflicted with corpus and therefore looking more 'human' by the end of their transformation.
I would love to see those
I would love to see those sickles in the game. :P
