Not much so far, but I will progress hopefully.

An Ivory sword, probably a tusk from something or another. And a small cleaver of a sort.

Hey, that looks very promising

But for weapons and any specific concept a simple sketch, might be coloured, will last. You can even forget about the persective and just give us some views from the sides. The pics you posted just distract me from the actual design they present and it would distract a lot when I would import the pic to my modelling program and try to make a model based on it.

Thanks, but I don't get what you mean. I didn't put any pics in the concepts. The background I drew myself. I think you mean you don't want the background... Right?

Some more art. My first attempt at Architecture.

And now some armor. This is my first try at that. Here is some armor that perhaps would belong to a Dune dweller noble.

I see you work with photoshop. Tried it once, but went insane after 15 minutes and never tried it again. Guess I'm too lazy to study a guide.

Out of curiosity, do you also draw by hand or only with photoshop?

Anyway, you seem to have some skill with the program and you've made a good start. I've said before that I like it when people use color in their sketches

. Though I don't think your drawings are as useful to modders as they should be. I'm pretty new here too, but I think I can give you some constructive comments that may help.

First, pay as much attention to detail as you can. Everyone knows roughly what a house or a sword looks like. It's the details in design that make it unique, and if the concept artist makes the details as clear as possible the modelers won't have to worry too much about designing those.

Also, take a look at [url=http://tamriel-rebuilt.org/old_forum/viewtopic.php?t=15316]--->this<---[/url] thread and make sure you understand the difference between functional and atmospheric concept art. For someone who has no experience in modeling (such as myself) it's hard to understand what exactly will be functional art for them, but the images in that thread give a pretty good idea. If you design a complicated object and want the art to be functional, draw it from different perspectives.

And last, do some research on Hammerfell (the lore thread is a good albeit intimidating place to start) and have a look at the work of prominent artists like Lutemoth, Elfane and Lighter. This might give you a good idea of what people want to see.

Oh, and I'm not sure how people here feel about putting your own signature symbol on an armor

Thanks Myzel. My armor picture isn't very good, it was just me trying to draw armor.

I do do sketches on paper as well, but I don't have a scanner nearby.

As you see, I am rubbish at most concept art. But I'm going to take a try at maps with photoshop. I hope it turns out good.

How about modelling? If I would draw, my art would look simillar and I can see that you already have some skill with 2d graphic edition software, which is a plus

Well, believe it or not, I don't actually own Oblivion for PC. I just know a lot about the lore of Oblivion.

what lore

aro101 · Post by **aro101** » Wed Sep 17, 2008 6:43 am

Many of our modellers (including me or Seven) starte while they didn't have oblivion or morrowind yet on their computers. Don't stop yourself from giving a try

A try at a map. Give your opinion.

A now it has nothing what so ever to do with The Elder Scrolls universe, but here is a concept for something in an RP I am GMing.
