[RELz] The Shalk

Submitted by Shushine on

Work has started on the shalk, this will be rigged to the chaurus. Do to limitations I have moved away from the original models design and have done a mix between the ESO's and Morrowind Shalk.

I approve of this change. To be honest, I thought the original morrowind one seemed very out of place in design. This one looks much better.

Out of curiosity, Will you be adding the antenna?

I just played Morrowind again to compare the 2 models and I think that yours looks better to be honest... the morrowind model always looked kinda off so Im liking the change :)

Yeah the dung beetle is a good look. Could you morph your current design to incorporate the beetle too, slightly?
Also are u good for low poly/uv? I can create whats needed in a few hours so no worries if u cant for now, its helpful already to create this mesh.

Theres another species of shalk we want, its based on the mudcrab, and uses its template. (hides under ash).
When you're done with this shalk ( Emporer shalk ?) we can model a smaller one, much more like the beetle above, around the mudcrab.

You're pretty much done apart from surface detail.
try using "rake" brush across the surface for long grooves.
I think u should try painting it before u bake.

I know it's been a while, but i just wanted to dump this:

Apparently, Shalk were going to be more shrimp-like in appearance.

 

Why are you doing this [External image]

Why do people keep giving thumbs down do Denevir? I agree that it's not the best moment to throw in feedback concerning things that are already done, but at least we have a guy that know the lore and isn't scared to post his actual opinion - and for m all feedback should be appreciated here - even if it's a bit too late. I think this whole karma thing should be used a bit more wisely by the users.

At least he is not someone that wants you to create magic shalk that will throw up an elder scroll when you kill it - and that elder scroll will allow you to teleport into a magic dungeon, when you have super huge shalk that actually is an incarnation of all gods - and this shalk will ask you to go bak in time and became a nerevarine. WAIT this is awesome idea, you people should drop everything you do at the moment and create mod like this!

We should brand you as the official forum Necromancer LOL! 

 

Denevir, if you want to give feedback and ideas I'd encourage you to hop on by the Music Hub thread - we really appreciate feedback from people who aren't directly involved in the soundtrack as it allows us to ground our vision a little more in what people expect for sound in Skywind. There are also plenty of active threads (see Indoril Armor, Ghostgate Art, DavidS' workshop) that could use input as they are all things that are being tackled as we speak. 

 

Cheers!

It's a reference to hundreds of posts with brilliant idea of creating a portal/scroll etc that would "in immersive way" combine skyrim and morrowind (time travel included ofcourse) - idea we all hate cause people post it without even checking if it was already discussed ;) i added shalk to stay ontopic :p

Tommy, we've had all this art for months, i mean my first model was based of that design.
