Morroblivion

First I'd like to say that I'm not a professional concept artist, nor do I have much experience in being one. However, I would like to learn new things ABOUT this line of work and what I have and can do is inspired and will hopefully work in inspiring the designs that will become the new Dwemeri Interiors.

I sent Ravanna my first piece and was told to continue work on the interiors and clutter so that is exactly what I'll be doing, and this thread will serve as the hub for my pieces as well as discussion on the subject of dwemer design as well as my pieces (suggestions, ideas, etc.)

So without further adieu, I shall post these as image-then-description format~

Walls and Pipes and Wallpipes:

First off, you might notice that they aren't drastically different from the originals. Well, that's true, and that's how I believe it should be. The Skyrim Quality standard is honestly really in the textures (which I will be updating the above image with in the very near future).

My thoughts are that the pipes should look very similar to the ones found in skyrim while everything else is wholly unique to the Vvardenfell region, so that we can establish a connection between the race that are in two different environments. 

Figured the heat showing through on the bottom and the top trim would give certain ruins more of a since of being alive, which can honestly make it a little bit creepier considering there's ever only bandits that are truly ALIVE within these hallways. The red parts could also be turned black to show a more dead looking ruin. DIVERSITY IS THE KEY, FOLKS!

Lava Grates:

I thought it would be cool to change the grating to reflect something along the lines of what you
see when looking at an average vent, or venetian blinds when closed. You CAN see through them,
but only at a certain angle. An important aspect of level design is to have visual queues to show the player where to go, and the vent effect can do just that by having it where if the player can see the lava below through the vent - he's going to treasure. And if he can't - he's going in the wrong way, or at least towards an exit so that he can't get lost.

Forge Thingy:

Not... Entirely... Sure what these things are. They look like forges from skyrim to me.
Maybe an engineer could shed some light... Anyways, if you notice, the main color is the same as the stone (or is it rough metal?) from the walls up above. If it IS stone, then it would show that A. They carved it elsewhere and put it there later OR my personal idea B. that when they were mining out their hallways and such that they strategically carved these out of the stone later and built their metal floors and ceilings around them. Just a thought though.
