Hello, Tamriel Rebuilt.

I recently downloaded your mod, and I am quite happy to add some concept art !
My work will be posted here, sketches and miscellaneous drawings or stages of drawings will probably end up on my deviantArt page which you can find here: http://thomasruz.deviantart.com .

You can also ask questions, or ask for specific art here, however I can't always guarantee that I will make said art.
I will try to update this forumpost as frequently as possible. 

Yours Sincerely,
Thomas

Here is my first concept, a underwater plant as Kaziem requested.

The plant is called Arrowheads for now because of the shape, but a better name may be Poisonbolts or Spadeheads.
They are embedded in the sea floor and grow very long (something like kelp), it uses the granulae on it's head to store the energy it needs for photo-synthesis,
Oxygen is generated in the bulbs and is segrageted by a membrane that runs along it's sides.

Those look interesting and not too hard to model, either!

Very nice underwaters plant! I’m not very enthusiastic about the armour, though, I’m afraid; the design seems too straightforward. The idea of a (at least by appearances) heavier chitin armour is worth exploring, though.

I have to agree that the armour is indeed in appearances straightforward indecision, but I also had a idea of an insect that is kinda based of it, a 4 armed bipedal beetle, that uses its wings as blades.

I do like that helm, though. Maybe not very good in combat, but good ceremonially.

I really like the Mania Bell! It really looks outlandish in a good way!
About the rhino armor, while i really loved the way the armor looks, the helm looks like a kamen rider mask for me. Still quite good, though

Hmm, those all look interesting. Did you say they were from the game Earthbound?

Nope, just a really bad choice of words laugh, I meant earthbound as “is connected to the ground” so maybe I had to use the word Nirnbound,
because Nirn is the planet and stuff.

Anyhow, the plants I created from the top of my mind, I personally like to be totally “original” with my concepts, with that I mean using few to no references, which somewhat helps in creating outlandish things.
For the Mania Bell I didn't use references, I thought of a plant that would resemble Sheogorath in some way,  trying to add a twin personality to the flowers.
For Sparrows Reed I also didn't use a reference, but the idea was plain and simple it is a reed with sharp angled tail.
For the Ogres Puffbal I used the style of Monkey Puzzle Trees on the underside and a dandelion like fluffy thing on the top.

I present to you, the creature of legends, the four armed warrior, one third warrior's spirit and two thirds insect, Gilgamoth!
Added the sketch with the inverted color version (personally prefer the latter).

I like all of those plant ideas, especially the mania bell, because it’s really unusual looking. I do like that bug too, though the fact that it seems naturally bipedal is a bit odd— or rather, that it looks rather like a person with a bug suit on. Maybe its limbs could stand in an inhuman way?

I see what you mean, maybe it should walk more with its legs slightly/semi - sideways and slightly bend like this green carabid beetle:
The body could also be narrower and/or more bulky i'd imaginine.

Well, what I mean is that in that drawing it appeared to be standing in a fairly human way; feet, knees, hips. That was a bit off-putting. It is supposed to be bipedal, yes? If so just not having have feet-knees-hips would be enough.

I based it of human anatomy so I'll try to adjust it.

Got a bit of extra Concept Art this time a new lizard creature and the underground Dres caverns Gnomey mentioned, they are both not completely finished (as is with most of my drawings), but hopefully portray the idea enough.

The lizard looks nice, though it might be hard to distinguish it from the many other lizardy things we have around (including argonians). That cavern picture looks nice! I really like the detail on the rocks and crystals, they’re very developed.

I made a drawing this evening of a Dunmeri smiley
I personally think that designing a lizard that does not have too much resemblance with any other lizards is very tough, because most reptilian species share a lot of similarities in their basic structure, to really diverge from such a point, you'd need to reference exeptions like crocodiles ( long snout) or bearded dragons (expanding sack under the bottom jaw), but that also has its limits.
I wasn't really sure about the cave because it still looks a bit barren, but overall I like the look of the crystals too, I think the amount of crystals depicted is visually good, although a couple more ought to do it, it also shouldn't be to cluttered.

New Flora !
The name above is the name I gave it, the name under is the latin name of the species it is based on.

Those all look interesting. I think I like the spider’s boquet best. It has a nice, easy-to-model look about it, and it’s nicely weird looking also.

I'm still debating if the Tulband should maybe be a water plant, either on a lily or as a seaweed.

I think the bulbous part would make an interesting lilly, if that was the bit above water and the rest was below.

Little scribbles made for the Dres Waterworks. I hope the quality of the image is good enough. frown

They look nice! There’s an asset made actually for collecting concepts on the waterworks. Can you also post them there? Add yourself as a developer of the asset and then edit the asset to add on your images.

I tried, but I don't think it worked though.…
I've made myself developer of the asset, but it won't let me edit anything. frown

Wow, that’s a weid creature. I like it. It reminds me more of a daedra than a plain insect if that makes sense.
