H7Z project-related works (concepts and illustrations)

Here there be all my work for Skywind.

Finished pieces and work in progress.

I thought that'll be convenient.

Reply to the topic only if commenting\criticizing on a certain work and\or requesting a work to get done (trying to stay organized here, guys)

And here is a few images I've already posted on the Concept Artists Unite topic:

And as I said there

"a few unused old things I've made for the Tamriel Rebuild, Solstheim 4e (northpoint now) and some other stuff, which I think might be appropriate here. These can be used in the project and I can finish them up too if anyone thinks they might be of use"

Here's a couple of presumably dunmer costumes based off some of the sketches I've shown at Concept Artists Unite topic. These are linen and leather. Can be something like ornamented silk too, for a more "noble" look (can do alterations to these images for variety - tell me if it's needed)

I've attached the high-res original files here. And sorry for the lousy edges - I've cropped them right from the gray background I've been working on (I almost always do merge all the layers)

These have helped create more

These have helped create more ideas for the clothing system, awesome work :D

These are really nice

These are really nice Hieronymus7Z, and will be a source of material for actually making clothes.

Instant contributor, smart stuff. Trust me if you draw the clothes, we will make.

Vivec's Palace. New details

Vivec's Palace. New details are obviously very few (well, just a couple, to be precise), as I tried to keep the most of the original look and feel.
Probably the most significant feature here is a little "anteroom" with little places for offerings in corners. It stands before the stairway, which itself has three smaller stairways on each of the sides.
Generally, this place is there for folks to leave the offerings and stand there, hoping for an audience with the place owner. If not for this chamber, people would what - wait right by the door, knocking? After the tiresome ascent too? So yep.

The second image here is an addition suggested by Dragomir - the planets outlook. As the one seen on the original sketch by Michael Kirkbride.

What if: every siltstrider on the Vvardenfell was unique?
Finally having a bit of a spare time, I present you a few sketches of the crits. Plus a cover-baggage holder idea

Im in love with the cover

I'm loving absolutely everything in this thread.

The dunmer clothes are probably my favorite - they are so spot-on and unique. Elven style with a clear desert influence; they are fantastic!

A couple of possibly rideable

A couple of possibly rideable guars and a siltstrider\insect-like mount. I intend on sketching up a few more guars - any particular ideas, anyone? (:

You could have a pack guar,

You could have a pack guar, so like one with bags and other stuff tied to it on either side, and maybe a lantern attached to it too. It could be for traveling merchants.

I, for one, support the crap out of this. I want me a war guar!

If we copied the system of the mounted boar with riekling, we could create war guar

I knew I wouldn't be the only

I knew I wouldn't be the only one to get that idea :D I'd love the Redoran watchmen to patrol roads around Ald'Ruhn and Maar Gan.

A few quick sketches for what is to be Dagoth Ur fortress\stronghold - these are mainly to get a relatively clear view on what the placing of the thing would be like (the idea was suggested by Dragomir).

All the rock formations and the structure itself are, no doubt, to be redone\improved.
That building, I'd say, is just a placeholder - just the first thing I doodled out.

So yep - will definitely do more on this thing.
And as always am open for suggestions

Awesome work Hieronymus! Can

Awesome work Hieronymus! Can't wait to see that stuff in the game :D

@Hieronymus7Z

Really cool, how about to add sth similar like that in the place of entrance. Of course without stars.

Thanks for the picture,

Thanks for the picture, lukkar, great reference. I've already been thinking about the sizes and will be sure to implement that somehow. But damn, that and what I have planned for the place is quite massive - hopefully the Red Mountain model will have enough room for all that.

Here comes the Dagoth.

Better start with the resident, than the residence, I thought.

That's awesome! I like the cloth on the second version that continues down to his loin cloth, but I also feel like it makes him look shorter or something? Maybe because it's covering up his swole stomach.

An attempt to show what I envision Dagoth's domain like - basically an overpaint of the territory map, trying to picture the "heightmap" I have in mind.

All of the Red Mountain stuff

All of the Red Mountain stuff is absolutely amazing. I'm also liking the Hlaalu clothing style. I hope this will be referenced by the modelers and make it come to life :)

Cliff Racer with a blighter

Cliff Racer with a blighter counterpart on the right.
Those tiny legs on Ravanna's model were bugging me quite a bit - I already have a couple sitting positions for these guys in mind, yet to be sketched out.
Just wish someday it all could be implemented (speaking of animationz).

[External image]

The blighted one is gory indeed - guess it's a bit of a dark fantasy here with a bit of some retro stuff (color-wise. you know, golden axe - with darker enemies being stronger and such).
"Racer Plumes", the feathers, are to be harvested off it's head.

there were 2 reasons we added

there were 2 reasons we added legs.

1. Realism, biologically speaking.
2. Perching like the dragon its based on. we can try without, but wont be building new cliffy until early next year.

regardless, this design is way better than the one i did. love it.

I assumed the legs were added

I assumed the legs were added for the animation purposes, as it was to be "bound" to the dragon skeleton and sure yes, flying creature with at least a couple legs is far more realistic than the ever-flying ones from the original - every living thing should rest from time to time.
Yet still - it'd feel out of place quite a bit, to see the pretty "iconic" creatures look different this much.
By all this I'm not saying that this other cliff racer of yours isn't good - It would actually be awesome to see a few versions of some crits in the finished thing.
I'll hopefully upload a couple sketches for the poses later today.
And thanks, Rav (:

A way around this could be

A way around this could be using another dragon animation. Maybe the dragon ground combat stance, since the dragon/cliffracer is 'kneeling' on his wings.

Another way would be making the chest-finn longer. that way it looks like the cliffracer is resting on the chest finn.
