Oh how i would love to see an Oblivion screenshot of that very encounter.

Here's another Quagmire themed texture experiment:

Sigil Stone?

Morden · Post by **Morden** » Sun Mar 23, 2008 2:31 pm

So I played around with those stone carving concepts from the last page, and here's the first test mesh:

The statue and rocks use a texture I made from a personal photo, so its all 100% TR. Additionally, Eyeball is modeling Lutemoth's Quagmire gate, and we have a rendered grass texture in the works. I've started on a couple landscape textures, but as you can see from the bright blue ground, they are still in the very early stages of development.

I love those rocks. Great job... Let us know about any progress for quagmire, I can't wait to see more

Lutemoth · Post by **Lutemoth** » Sun Mar 23, 2008 5:51 pm

ohhh, beauty, Mord! I can't wait to see those poor things dappling about the landscape

Morden · Post by **Morden** » Tue Mar 25, 2008 3:29 am

Finished off another rock carving. I'm going for that primitive look.

Idea for a quaggie tree. Take the basic tree in any region. Strip it of it leaves. Add an eye and som slime.

And Morden DAMN! love it

Dammit, Elfane! I -more or less- had the same idea. (I'd post it now, but my husband insists I clean the house). The concept rocks, though.

Elfane · Post by **Elfane** » Fri Apr 04, 2008 4:11 pm

Heh, being the first concept I have posted in (checking) 5 months you sure had alot of time to upload it before me. Upload yours also, would be fun.

Harke the Apostle · Post by **Harke the Apostle** » Fri Apr 04, 2008 10:16 pm

I had to draw it first.

If anyone is at all interested I can make up a nice backstory.

A quaggie plant pet!

Hemitheon · Post by **Hemitheon** » Fri Apr 04, 2008 11:54 pm

I had a plant just like that one in mind. I called mine "Weeping Lumina" because the eyes would drain fluid, which would be an ingredient. But mine was more like a lichen with many eyes like a coral reef.

EDIT: I found it. Mine is on Page 1, it's scan1

Harke the Apostle · Post by **Harke the Apostle** » Fri Apr 04, 2008 11:58 pm

If you made it, post it. I doubt TR has a moratorium on eyed plants.

I guess I had erased it from Photobucket.

I vaguely recall playing that in '95-'97... (It was in black and white, but with hindsight, I'd say the game looked better that way).

I also liked some of the more outlandish Commander Keen creatures. (the crawling hands that must have been inspired by It from the Addams Family and Theodore Sturgeon).

gro-Dhal · Post by **gro-Dhal** » Sat Apr 05, 2008 11:36 am

Please don't make Quagmire look like Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure. Please. Although those weird phallic things that rise out of the ground in lvl 9 would be interesting.

For Morden. Made it when the potatoes was boiling. Gotta make the best of the time.

sapien · Post by **sapien** » Mon Apr 07, 2008 1:11 pm

Morden - those rock formations are quite harrowing , i really love them ! they are so dark looking .

Obagovo · Post by **Obagovo** » Mon Apr 14, 2008 2:34 pm

Those formations are definitely creepy. They remind me of the human casts/remains that were found in Pompeii.

osiris · Post by **osiris** » Mon Apr 14, 2008 7:32 pm

Beautiful drawings! Being myself an artist, I can say with no doubt that these artworks are really great.

Elfane · Post by **Elfane** » Tue Apr 15, 2008 8:10 am

That are 7 mins of making the wait for the potatoes a little bit more fun. Great would be a bit to big word. Give cred where cred is due. Hurray for Morden!

osiris · Post by **osiris** » Tue Apr 15, 2008 8:19 am

Right, hurray for Morden! I like the drawings a lot, too; beauty also comes from some simple lines.

sapien · Post by **sapien** » Tue Apr 15, 2008 9:02 am

also slightly remind me of mutant snowmen from calvin and hobbes

Lighter Than Some · Post by **Lighter Than Some** » Wed Apr 16, 2008 3:15 am

Just building off of previous ideas.

Question. Any ideas on what the color scheme for Quagmire is or is that undecided?

(rofl my da was the only thing capable of hosting something so large)

TheGooch · Post by **TheGooch** » Wed Apr 16, 2008 7:57 am

a lot of people dont hear of jpegs... you should(if you can) import that into Paint, then export it as a jpeg, it should shrink it to measly Kbs. (its 3.6mbs guys, just to let you know, dial-up users beware XD)

though on a more commenty part of the actual CA, I like the runes and the bit on the bottom with the "eye gate"

the gifter looks nice(real nice). some of your writing is a little bit hard to read (even while zoomed) could be just my vision though.
(i think im going a little bit blind, too much computer you see.)

Lighter Than Some · Post by **Lighter Than Some** » Wed Apr 16, 2008 1:43 pm

lol. The reason I don't use jpeg is because of the compression. Every time the file is opened and closed it is compressed over and over again. Lots of information is lost and the image loses its quality.

Yeah I'll try and type next time or write in all caps. haha

Morden · Post by **Morden** » Sat Apr 19, 2008 12:24 am

Welcome to the forums Lighter

Thanks for uploading your art, its perfect. And thanks for your drawings too Elfane. I see what you mean now about the one statue eating smaller one from behind. It's very creepy. I've added both the files to my Quagmire folder. It's much quicker when you have some designs to work toward.

Lighter, I also like your small menhirs with the 'squiggle script'

Lady Nerevar · Post by **Lady Nerevar** » Sat Apr 19, 2008 1:04 am

i think the color scheme is blue and yellow -- at least according to Lute's daedra concepts

welcome! the art is excellent

Morden · Post by **Morden** » Sat Apr 19, 2008 3:03 am

Yellow would only be for detail highlights on architecture or objects, ect. Dark blue and black are the order of the day... but truth be told we don't really have a detailed color scheme.

Eldarion · Post by **Eldarion** » Sat Apr 19, 2008 6:19 am

Right- well I started this concept when this thread had just begun- so consequently it doesn't really fit that well with the other concepts in this thread or with sloads idea of quagmire, but considering I did a fair amount of work on it in the beginning and a bit more to finish it off to a viewable state I decided to post it anyways.

Added a new rock formation that is hopefully closer to what you are looking for.

This is an early sketch for a Quagmire fiend, but I am probably not going to finish it so I decided to post it already.

And then I wonder... Why did I put an eyeball with wings there?

osiris · Post by **osiris** » Sun Apr 20, 2008 7:24 pm

Still very cool artworks; but how strange, eyeball monsters seems to come back to Morrowind and [url=http://mrfloydian.com/Gallery/Oblivion-Old/Old68]Oblivion[/url] from time to time.

Eldarion · Post by **Eldarion** » Mon Apr 21, 2008 4:53 am

Perchance could I get some feedback on the sketch of a rock formation I posted? I will gladly draw up an entire set of similar rock formations (though perhaps more towards the humanoid form rocks already posted)- if I know that it is worth the time and effort to do so.

osiris · Post by **osiris** » Mon Apr 21, 2008 7:15 pm

Well, that first rock drawing looks definitely good to me.

What would be its purpose (maybe I'm missing something you already wrote)? It's just a rock, or something more?

Morden · Post by **Morden** » Tue Apr 22, 2008 1:34 pm

The quagmire rocks is really cool. The color scheme is right on. It looks like some sort of lava rock formation. The only part which seems unnatural is the top where it begins to curve over itself. Gravity would snap it off.

Post by **Haplo** » Tue Apr 22, 2008 10:23 pm

Are you sure, Morden? If the curve is subtle enough there it wouldn't snap off unless under pressure other than gravity, I think.
