I've seen that some people made their own Topics where they post their art so i thought i would do that myself. Well, i'm new here in TR and i want to show you my drawings... Enjoy! (I hope)

This is a tower i'm working on. There might be towers in the next provinces you'll work on so i think i can post it. It is not final.

Some kind of sea creature. Combined an Elephant and a Whale to make this

Ah thank you for your welcome

Well, for the tower, i'll be posting a new drawing soon... and i hope that will make clear what it is. And yes, it is actually quite huge

(Fun to see a dutch one around here, i'm from Holland myself)

Liking that creatures, very unique, it'll be interesting to decide which province it belongs to, possibly Skyrim or something.

That tower is really huge, be careful not to design constructs that are seemingly impossibly huge... that said it could be a design for the Admantine tower or part of a major capital city in some province, I'm assuming your were aiming for a Hammerfell/High Rock design?

Lutemoth · Post by **Lutemoth** » Tue Dec 20, 2005 7:21 pm

Awoo! Wonderful tower concept, very majestic! I also can't wait to see what other mind-bending creatures you'll make; that marine beast is nothing but awesome! Welcome to the forum, by the way

I don't know where those big towers are... and in the beginning, it wasn't drawn with TES in mind. Just wanted to post it to show some of my work. Oh, and it would be cool as adamantine tower but wasn't there already a design for that one? Mayb i can create a architecture style for buildings and stuff like the style from the tower...

Just tell me what you want

Vholdrian · Post by **Vholdrian** » Tue Dec 20, 2005 8:21 pm

Here's the tower i posted in the Hammerfell architecture topic... could be a lighthouse, or an outpost... could be anything. Enjoy

EDIT: Oh, and it isn't perfectly straight, i know.

Great concept art man.. Its always great to see a nu visionary join our growing ranks.. keep up the good work and good luck!!

Vholdrian · Post by **Vholdrian** » Wed Dec 21, 2005 4:17 pm

I've drawn this building

[url=http://img521.imageshack.us/my.php?image=hfsbuilding5my.jpg][img]http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/102/hfsbuilding5my.th.jpg[/img][/url]

It should be a house of a rich one... but only one should live in it. Otherwise it'll be too small. Its Hammerfell style (i think

)

EDIT: Lol, you can even see some swords i had drawn on the other side of the paper.. plz don't mind them

Morgoth · Post by **Morgoth** » Wed Dec 21, 2005 4:27 pm

Here, straitened the tower out for you.

Wohaaaa....

My dream came true... how did you do that? Its great.. this is how i meant it.

Morgoth · Post by **Morgoth** » Wed Dec 21, 2005 4:37 pm

Simple Photoshop edit. Mask out the crooked part and go to Edit -> Transform-> Distort (or skew). Works like a charm.

Vholdrian · Post by **Vholdrian** » Wed Dec 21, 2005 8:46 pm

Intresting.... btw, do you like it?

Nalzay · Post by **Nalzay** » Sat Dec 24, 2005 11:52 pm

here is a 3d version I did of the tower. Some of the textures are weird but untill uniform hammerfell textures are set, these will do I guess. I did both tops. I think that the alternative is better.

Nalzay, what program do you use?

Morden · Post by **Morden** » Sun Dec 25, 2005 1:20 am

I like the look of that Hammerfell house.

And the tower models look great Nalzay. They may need some more details for the oblivion engine, but most of that can be done using textures.

Nalzay · Post by **Nalzay** » Sun Dec 25, 2005 6:01 pm

I use 3ds 6. Its my favorite.

Vholdrian · Post by **Vholdrian** » Mon Dec 26, 2005 11:41 am

Nalzay, I am honored. It looks great

Edit: Is there any art needed? Just tell me what you lads need and I'll try to make it.

Vholdrian · Post by **Vholdrian** » Sun Jan 01, 2006 5:34 pm

Ok..

Edit: Is there any art needed? Just tell me what you lads need and I'll try to make it.

Plz, give me some work

Morden · Post by **Morden** » Sun Jan 01, 2006 6:29 pm

Try the Weekly Sketch Group topic.. right now they're geared towards designing the areas of western hammerfell.

http://tamriel-rebuilt.org/old_forum/viewtopic.php?t=15414

If that doesn't spark your interest... try drawing some of these essential buildings of Hammerfell:

Tavern
Temple
Merchant Shops
City Walls
House
Manor

At the moment, try and give these objects a desert feel.

This is a quick functional sketch of the tower i've posted before. As for the 'black shaded parts', they're ornaments which the evil inhabitants builded upon the original tower. My english sucks.

A Hammerfell style manor, as requested.

A few desert-style weapons. #1 is some kind of Scimitar, one handed, #2 is a claymore with a wooden grip, (two handed

), #3 is a dagger, and the grip represents two wings, as you may have noticed, #4 is just an ordinary axe, quickly done.

UPDATE TO AVOID DOUBLE POSTING

A Hammefell style temple, as requested. (Front view)

The same temple as above, top view.

[url=http://img283.imageshack.us/my.php?image=lamptree6xg.jpg][img]http://img283.imageshack.us/img283/1610/lamptree6xg.th.jpg[/img][/url]

Some kind of tree, i call it a Lamp Tree. Should illuminate at night. I got inspired by the Sky Lamp creature on the front page.

I hope you like them

Vholdrian · Post by **Vholdrian** » Mon Jan 02, 2006 10:52 pm

ANd ofcourse an ordinary bump since an edited post doesn't gets your thread on top of the list

lol, things to learn as a noob in here.

Silverwood · Post by **Silverwood** » Mon Jan 02, 2006 11:30 pm

I believe you are alowed to double post if it is an update of somesort, but I'm not sure on this rule eather.

Art related, wonderful ideas. I love the tree, it glows during the night, pretty different. The temple also looked really nice, very good layout for the four sections of the building.

A dwemer ruin in the Alik'r desert. Or whatever the stupid desert is called. I would have uploaded the uncolored version if i hadn't lost it.

The dwemer tower design is the same as Arthmodeus, he inspired me with his wonderful ideas.

[url=http://img259.imageshack.us/my.php?image=helmhfs1lp.jpg][img]http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/3973/helmhfs1lp.th.jpg[/img][/url]

A desert helm with glasses to protect your eyes against sand. Its made of wood, since some kind of metal would be damn hot in the desert

(Oh and there is cloth wrapped around the wood - is that good english?) I got inspired by the Chitin helm, which protects your eyes against ash.

[url=http://img259.imageshack.us/my.php?image=helmhfs28ej.jpg][img]http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/889/helmhfs28ej.th.jpg[/img][/url]

Same helm, but the glasses closer together, for smaller people

Well, thats that.

Macar · Post by **Macar** » Tue Jan 03, 2006 4:31 pm

I think that dunmer corner the market on helms with built in glasses. It has an otherworldly look that only they can get away with. RL desert dwelers never wear goggles, they just cover thier nose and mouth with a scarf durring dust storms and squint (you get used to it).

Vholdrian · Post by **Vholdrian** » Tue Jan 03, 2006 8:41 pm

Whatever

It was just an idea.

EDIT: Feedback plz, its all far from perfect

Vholdrian · Post by **Vholdrian** » Tue Jan 10, 2006 8:07 pm

Could someone give me a link orsomething to the official Fang Lair lore?

Thanks.

(Because i want to draw Fang Lair

)

Vholdrian · Post by **Vholdrian** » Tue Jan 10, 2006 8:47 pm

I don't know... i can see everyones pictures perfectly

Maybe restarting your computer solves the problem?

EDIT: AFTER LOOKING OVER MY THREAD: Whats with my thread? I'm still one one page lol

It takes a year to scroll down

PoHa! · Post by **PoHa!** » Tue Jan 10, 2006 10:56 pm

[url=http://til.gamingsource.net/places/index.shtml]Here's something about Fang Lair[/url]. And [url=http://til.gamingsource.net/dfbooks/b100_complete_edward.shtml]here's[/url] some more (click on part VII).

Stalker · Post by **Stalker** » Tue Jan 10, 2006 11:00 pm

We already have a concept of Fang Lair drawn by Arth.

Vholdrian · Post by **Vholdrian** » Wed Jan 11, 2006 7:20 pm

Oh, thats too bad... well i'm sure that'll do, so i'll face other things for now.

Like this windmill, which seems to be featured in nearly every WSG 3 drawing, so i thought a more detailed view would be in place.

[url=http://img6.imageshack.us/my.php?image=windmill9af.jpg][img]http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/9568/windmill9af.th.jpg[/img][/url]
Uncolored

[url=http://img6.imageshack.us/my.php?image=windmillcolor3yr.jpg][img]http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/9559/windmillcolor3yr.th.jpg[/img][/url]
Poorly colored, to give you an idea of its coloring.

Regards, Vholdrian.

Morden · Post by **Morden** » Wed Jan 11, 2006 8:35 pm

Actually, I like the colors a lot, its just the shading that might need to be done on a separate layer next time. The windmill blades also look really good, but i'm not sure about the Onion Dome on the top. Thats more of a fancy decorative i'm not sure you'd find on a desert windmill.

Vholdrian · Post by **Vholdrian** » Wed Jan 11, 2006 8:37 pm

Maybe in a rich town? But then the mill shouldn't be damaged... ok you're right.

Vholdrian · Post by **Vholdrian** » Thu Jan 12, 2006 9:51 pm

I've recently drawn this structure.

[url=http://img25.imageshack.us/my.php?image=hfssettlement5df.jpg][img]http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/2365/hfssettlement5df.th.jpg[/img][/url]

I thought it would be a kind of temple or large, very large settlement. Or some kind of Vivec canton thingy, but i think there isn't any other city in Tamriel (read: Hammerfell) that uses such an architecture.
I tried to use a different style of Islamic architecture. I did the shading and everything with just ordinary pencils, because i'm very bad at photoshop shading. If anyone wants to shade it with photoshop, feel free to do as you wish. My drawings are not copyrighted

Please ignore the background, its just about the structure. About those deadric runes on the big tapestry, I just did something, I don't know the daedric alphabet. Too bad

(Now i scanned the drawing i realized that the dome isn't straight. I hate that. I really hate that. But I'll just upload it instead of drawing it all over again)

Enjoy, and give feedback plz *puppy eyes*

These are a few Hammerfell style light and torches and stuff, i thought they wouldn't be out of place here.

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Thu Jan 12, 2006 10:09 pm

great stuff man... i really like the "expensive candle stick"

dont worry about the dome not being straight, it looks cool... i get things a bit slanted like that too since i draw with the paper slanted, lol

Orix · Post by **Orix** » Thu Jan 12, 2006 10:22 pm

That temple is amazing! If its made I cant wait to stare up at the huge dome from the inside. I hadn't noticed it wasn't straight on the picture, although I'm sure the modeller wouldn't have any trouble making it... the asymmetry really gives the building character, I noticed you put various towers and protruding bits on the sides.

The location really does add to it as well, situated atop a high column of rock in what looks like a seaside cliff edge... good place for peace and worship.

I'm assuming it would be a temple for Redguards to worship the Yokudan gods? [url]http://til.gamingsource.net/gods/yokuda.shtml[/url] Perhaps there could be a different temple (or a variation of your design) for each one, like there is for the Nine Devines in Oblivion.

The torches are all cool designs, loving that expensive candle stick and that torch with the bound handle, very unique!

Lutemoth · Post by **Lutemoth** » Thu Jan 12, 2006 10:29 pm

Very wonderful stuff, Vholdrian! I'd love to have a variety of these torches on hand, when traversing the countryside at night.

As well, the gargantuan temple is magnificent! To see that rising from the horizon would inspire any follower

Morden · Post by **Morden** » Fri Jan 13, 2006 12:19 am

Great job on the temple.

Love the detail and the shading... though i do spy some letters from the Daedric alphabet on that banner
