Little sketch about the Telvanni:

love it but maybe make the tree a mushroom tree and I think it would be perfect.

(edit) also avoid purple in the telvanni area. It makes it look sorta cartoony in my opinion.

Palace of Vivec is set the furthest away, it's one of the tallest buildings in Vivec and has a giant dome that burns with green fire. I don't think there's any lighthouse that would direct ships better than the palace itself

as for the viewpoints, Ministry of Truth seems the best :P

Love it! Kura can model those right away, if he hasn't already :D

If you care for trying out some additions, or maybe an idea for the next scene if you plan to make one - it would be really fun to have market stalls in Olms and Delyn, as well as Temple district, with Dunmer selling religious trinkets like amulets with ASV engraved on them, little saint statues or tablets with their depictions. Much like late medieval "relics" kind of thing, people trying to cash in on religious souvenirs :D

Awesome arts. Bit concentrated on cyan and green lights, but all other is just awesome.

looks absolutely awesome RomanDubina1. Still don't know about the trees though. But other then that it looks amazing. :)

(edit) Satchboogie they actually use multiple different hues. I don't think red was in there but orange/yellow lanterns where pretty common on the exterior of the telvanni cities. Also there where lots of candles inside as well. But there where lots of blue lights used to, so I consider this concept within mean's. Though I think I would be cool to have some orange/yellow Asian type lanterns like the original Morrowind cities as well. I worked on a concept a while back for lanterns that are grown much like the buildings but the soul gem that was used to grow the lantern emits a light.

just think more warm colors would be better.
acid green on Vivec temple looks alien to all other.

in my honest opinion, classic fire color should be better.
not sure that magic should be used for illumination anywhere else magic guild.

when someone makes magic utilitarian, magic loses all it's charm.

I think we need to decide on some differences in design between the Mage's Guild and Telvanni.  We want there to be a completely different feel between them.  Telvanni is super duper ancient - the councilors and members in many cases are as old as the Tribunal or older.  The Mages' Guild are the new kids on the block, a mix of old, new, and a hodge podge of cultural influences.

In my mind, Telvanni colors are brown for brown ink on tan parchment.  Their towers are old and grand with low-burning candles overflowing with melted wax, with collections of jars housing mutated specimens from ages past in dark green liquid, and dusty tomes left untouched for centuries in library-dungeons.  Not bright and flashy - think the darker aspects of the Harry Potter universe, with giant mushrooms.  That's not to say the councilors THEMSELVES wouldn't be colorful characters (in personality and dress), but the style of their buildings and lesser members should exude an atmosphere that feels ancient - truly truly ancient.  Not just 'magic'.  Their magic is subtle in its own way - giant elder mushrooms  as trees more than Vegas light show.

For the Mages' Guild, I would imagine things are a bit 'lighter'.  They are not so insular, accepting outlanders and Dunmer alike, even going so far as having Khajiit and Argonians common among their membership.  For these folks I would consider lights, and runes, and bright colors an asset.  This vibrant culture is in many ways the opposite of the stagnant and forboding culture of the Telvanni (with Aryon as an exception).

In short, Telvanni = old, musty, insular, subdued colors and subtle yet powerful magic.  Mages' Guild = new, vibrant, multicultured, magical lights of all colors common and flashy exciting magic.

yeah. Telvanni can have invisible/inconspicuous, but powerful magic, and Magic Guild can be poseurs, with magic used for not power, but some sort of arts and decorations (glowing crystals, such sort of stuff).

really i hope that someone will be able to make new unique spells that would be interesting to reach in distal edges of province.
In this aspect original morrowind have only interesting alteration school of magic, but other - just colorful nonsense.

if we have some really black magick like creating bloody skeleton from dead body, or some terraforming spells - would be epic.

> academic approach
= more like bureaucratic approach. Tel Fyr have corprus antidote and successfully cloned some girls.
Did MG made some like this level? I think their level correlates with level of magic in oblivion/cyrodiil and skyrim/skyrim - i.e. very limited and bobtail.

I think each district should have own primary color light (with some exceptions inside) but not too much vivid of course.

great concept i like it, and yes maybe it is a good idea to put those locations inside the tower, because without the houses the plaza will look better.

The colours are still too vivid, I'd think to really look good they should be kept to more natural colours, since even though Dunmer would have access to fancy dyes they'd still not be able to make the colours bright as neon.

I made some adjustments, corrected a few colours, removed the imposing mural from the foreign quarter and I think it looks really nice

I actually quite like the murals, although I do agree that they are kinda vivid at the moment. "Almost-brown" would be the scheme to go for, since that way vivec doesn't look like something out of fallout 3, but also doesn't look like a nightclub. In morrowind vivec was way too brown, so murals would be fantastic!

Also, don't completely remove the mural on the foreign quarter, just make the design a little less cartoony.. just because they are foreigners doesn't mean they shouldn't have some cool art ;)

I'm not sure if this would somehow contradict the lore, or simply clutter up the city too much, but I think it'd be neat if there were aztec style chinampa farms along some of the cantons, like these:

Maybe larger, but with dunmer architectural influences

Another

Pretty much the idea is that it allows some of the poorer urban citizens to provide food and income via tending crops on the outskirts of the town, and then taking the food back to local markets via small canoe/kayak. Idk, just an idea I had.

@Ociee Good, but there is no need - they have Ascadian Isles near. So plants around city are only decorative.
What i really hope - that farms on isles will be much wider. ~20 plants on farm cannot feed Vivec.
 

@lukkar No, actually i am talking about increasing fields of existing farms.
---
(OT) If it will be mine game, i would not making individual farming plants. There is better way.
More like small farmplots from low-poly thickets, which can be activated to sheafs and then collectable.
If it possible to make as grass patches - it would be even better.


 

> I'd really dig some saltrice crops... [in water]

Yeah, that is it. Ascadian isles shoreline could/should be completely covered with shacks/peasants and saltrice/marshmerrow fields.
There should be some competition between population (they are living in tiny island, with small amount of fertile lands, actually!).
Actually they need to struggle with each other for free soil like mudcrabs :)
Between bordering seafields can be placed some wattles or nets.

I like it very much. The atmosphere of the picture is spot on :)

I hope these concepts are put into the game. Vivecs palace looks absolutely killer!

With this scale and population this is primely!

Сity ​​where I want to live.
