Dunmer Miner with his ear to the wall, listening to the moaning. Possibly Samalt, I couldn't find where it said what race he is.

Let me know if this isn't what you wanted.

Turelio, you're back! That is... wow. That's probably the best piece I've seen on TR. Definatly inspirational. I'd say it's more then we could've expected for this WSG. Brilliant job. (Please stick around!)

Edit: (You know you could probably market that?)

That's quite the work of art there, good job!

Beatiful! However, most of the miners are Redguards. In light of that pic, though, I'd say we need to make shure that there is at least one dunmer miner

Technically, the miners are as follows.

1 Argonian (Fears-the-dark)
1 Imperial (Drunk Tom)
1 Bosmer (Brodey)
2 Redguard (Samalt and Marks)
3 that Stalker gets to decide

Not sure a Dunmer is the best race for a miner working on an island clear across Tamriel from Morrowind, though

They could travel

! Maybe his family lives in cyrodill, he was a disowned bastard son of some wealthy dunmer guy, and he was exiled with nothing but the clothes on his back. So, he wandederd around till he found a crappy job at the mine. That's why he's so sad

That way we can use this pic

Sload, I don't care if you have to change the race of one or all of the miners, just find a way to use this!

WOAH!!!! Kudos to you, that is superb, I have at least a lifetime till i can draw like that (altough i suppose it is photoshop). That is gobsmacking. And admittedly, I am extremely envious, that is just... woah.

He could be a former glass or ebony miner on Vvardenfell, who got tired of blight storms and cliff racers and moved to the Imperial Province. Unfortunately, he soon found out that practically all the mines in Cyrodiil were abandonned, either because they were exhausted or because they were infected by goblins. Finally, he heard of a working, and goblinless mine somewhere out there on a paradisiac little island near Anvil, and thought it would be nice. Better than being a bum or a goblin proteinic supplement.

Thanks everyone! Yes I'm back I suppose, I swing by check in every once in a while, just been a while since I started Logging in again. I recently quit my job, so I have only got three more days of that untill I get a new job, which probably wont be right away. I am going on a 9 day trip soon, but then after that, I'll try and stay around longer.

Edit: (You know you could probably market that?)

Glad you think so, I rather be making money off of this than making sandwiches all day long lol.

I'm not really concerned if there is or isn't a Dunmer working in the mine, besides, being a promotional it doesn't have to be exact, people may not even realize that a Dunmer isn't working in the mine when they start playing it. I see game promotionals all the time that don't end up reflecting what is in the final product in exact details.

Yes it is Photoshop, plus I own a 9x12 intous3 Wacom Tablet... my baby

That makes drawing on the computer very similar to painting/drawing physically. There is a learning curve, but I've had it for nearly a year now, and love it.

I remained speechless for the first minute starring at your picture...

It's awsome, it looks exactly like a mine, exactly like a miner, and exactly like a dunmer! Are you the same guy that did the picture of the red-daedric imp? The Morphoid i think.

Lady Nerevar · Post by **Lady Nerevar** » Tue May 23, 2006 6:49 pm

simply amazing.

btw, how much longer will this showcase go? (me thinks she should draw something...)

That makes me feel better, knowing it is just harder for me to colour in with a crud mouse. But it makes me feel worse, cus I know I'm gonna splash out on a Tablet, like morden suggested ages ago! Hmmmm, well still, I am amzed, it really is a great picture. But I would also need to spend a bit more time on some of my drawings to make something on par with that! Well, I have to give it a shot.

No no, that one isn't mine. I don't remember all of the ones I did, but I recall atleast two insect mounts for Dres, and some armor/look designs for a Hammerfell Legionair and I think a Hammerfell soldier of some sort.

Oh yes I know exactly what you mean, I was using PS7 a very long time before I finally got my Tablet, but if you are serious about it, it is well worth it. It isn't a fix all, but it lets you draw more on your drawing skills, so that it is more like doing it off the computer.

My tablet cost me somewhere like $450-500 I think, but you can get much smaller ones for cheaper, just make sure you get it from Wacom. The size isn't as important, just depends how you want to learn to use it. I like 9x12 because its closest to using a full sheet of paper.

lb003g0676 · Post by **lb003g0676** » Tue May 23, 2006 9:17 pm

$400 must be about 270 pounds. I haven't got that at the moment. But I can get a small cheap one, or if I'm lucky, something like that off ebay.

And I went back and found your concept art thread, no offence, but there are none as impressive as this miner.

TÃƒÂºrelio · Post by **TÃƒÂºrelio** » Tue May 23, 2006 9:39 pm

Time shows improvement, but also this is completely different from what I was doing with those sketches. The other concepts I was just trying to show an idea, and here I needed to make a full work of art, so I had to go the full length basiclly. If I was to do more concepts they probably wont look as good as this unless I really feel like spending the extra time on it.

lb003g0676 · Post by **lb003g0676** » Tue May 23, 2006 9:41 pm

I need to take a leaf out of your book. And perhaps I should try a decent picture of Stirk.

Oh. I have no problem with one of them being a Dunmer. I haven't even started making those ints.

Then start... or let somebody else.

Stalker · Post by **Stalker** » Wed May 24, 2006 5:28 pm

You do realise you can't slavedrive the slavedriver, right ? Plus we're definatly not in a hurry because we need a final patch before we can release Stirk. As I said patched ESPs are not compatible with unpatched game (not vice versa though).

Do we have any evidence besides your computer? Other people have appearantly had no problems.

Further, if we need to redo everything and we're 100% positive of this, we need to stop working now. If it's just your hunch, please hurry up and finish so that I can start the quest soon after school gets out.

No, we don't need to redo anything. Plus I've dropped the ints.

Sload · Post by **Sload** » Mon May 29, 2006 11:06 pm

Oh, and that Dunmer can't be made in any event, because there isn't a bald hair style. That doesn't mean the image can't be used or editted to be used, however.

lb003g0676 · Post by **lb003g0676** » Mon May 29, 2006 11:09 pm

That's unfortuante, becuase the baldness is the thing that makes it shiny.... You can see Turelio's use of light on his baldness is great. But I hope you can do hair just as good, I am suer you can. If not, just put one of those bandana/head band things on him. Or just leave it?

It isn't really important of there is an equivelant in-game character to the artwork unless it is of a major character. All people need to realize is that this is a miner, and the quest involves a mine. Even major characters alot of times look different in promotional art compared to their in-game look.
