Haha im such a fool - apparently these are for Tribunal, not morrowind.
Anyway
Sketched out some designs over the holiday break (and some trees - i had no computer so i went old school). I figured the stands were sort of gothic medieval in flavour, so i pushed that a little. If i were to keep going and designing some aesthetics for imperial architecture, i would definitely mix in some oriental influence - try to keep it hybrid and not one or the other.
I also tried a new method of modelling. I made the basic structure in maya using a mixture of splines and hand modelling, then i creased everything and sent that to zbrush as an ASCII file. Works super well and it meant i could get some very clean lines and shapes. Then its the same old zbrush stuff, decimate then bake in maya.
You can see a rough version of the texture applied to a low-res model in the last image.
Any thoughts for future direction guys? critiques?

UNF! that means i thrusted at
UNF! that means i thrusted at these in a sexual manner.
