Master of Stair's unrelated Concept Art Dump

So every morning and evening I have a 45 minute drive to/from work. In that time I generally tend to think about video games. Dream games I would like to see. Mods I wish I had the skills to implement. Also, various conceptual updates to armors and creatures.

I'll start off with this guy: The Auroran from Knights of the Nine/Oblivion. In here I blended design motifs of the original armor with Protoss from Starcraft 2 and Velstadt's pretty cool scalemail from Dark Souls 2. Also, a lot of bird motifs. The three prongs on the original helmet have now become a mock- horned owl "horns" and a cockatiel's cool crest. The scalemail is meant to look like golden eagle feathers. Finally, the bird's actual head is modelled after a yellow Canary.

Second concept is the upper body of a Wolf Armor I've been trying to work with. I hated Skyrim's Wolf Armor and wanted to create a concept that a.) fit with the various armor motifs of the Companions and b.) seemed "wolf-like" without sticking a wolf head on the helmet. The shoulder cape/ wolf skin would be an optional "cape" part in this concept, being an accessory that can be removed/added. The helmet's goggles are meant to be shaped like a wolf's eyes.

That's that for now. Rip apart if you please. I'd like to hone some of these ideas that have been driving me a bit mad lately.
