I intended on having this up this morning, but I didna have access to my scanner. Otherwise, here's the drawing

By the way, I really like the armor! It follows the practicality and design of the Regada I've come to learn

teh sh!t!!!

I think fertility goddess won't have claw-like fingers. She's supposed to attrack men, not rip 'em apart. I mean I'll be twice as careful with 4-handed woman with claws...

A fertility godess can be associated with anything from a good harvest, to healthy livestock, to successful childbirth. Not necessarily attracting men, but prosperity in general.... and perhaps a warrior culture finds clawed women to be good luck

Fertility means children birth rate. Because they have separate agricultural god. And I highly doubt that Redguards will prefer clawed women :\

No, Morden about summed it up, I think. Fertility can apply to anything that has grown healthily and in in plenty. For example, ever here of fertile crops, or fertile soil? Not neccesarily fertile as in a women that can have a child.

Doesn't every guy like his gal with claws!?:D I don't think a god really needs to attract men, so I don't think this would be a problem. And I think a god of agriculture is probably still different from a goddess of fertility for the lands and stuff.

And as I said they have a separate agricultural diety. Will they have different gods controling the same area ? Or will you call your agricultural diety a Teat God ? Or will your agricultural god have arms to grab husbands ?

Zeht
(God of Farms)
Yokudan god of agriculture. Renounced his father after the world was created, which is why Tall Papa makes it so hard to grow food.

Morwha
(Teat God)
Yokudan fertility goddess. Fundamental deity in the Yokudan pantheon, and the favorite of Tall Papa's wives. Still worshipped in various areas of Hammerfell, including Stros M'kai. Morwha is always portrayed as four-armed, so that she can 'grab more husbands'.

In most real mythologies the domains of gods do actuly overlap. Books usualy simplify things and make them more clear for the sake of casual readers. For example, both Hera and Aphrodity (spelling) where considered to be godesses of fertility and gaurdians of women. Not to mention ceres, who was an agriculture/fertility godess and Diana, was also a gaurdian of women.

Well this is not real world and I am yet to understand how Teat God can be agricultural diety.

Fine. Your right... like always.

Wow ! I won at least one argument today. Now I only need to reason another person who's claiming that Dremora are Dwemer...


Still I think it'll be soo much easier to seduce men with fingers rather than claws. But that's my vision of things which is highly biased.

Stalker wrote:Now I only need to reason another person who's claiming that Dremora are Dwemer...

Hwo's that idiot? Anyway I think that that thing needs a manicure(spelling?) too.

I prefer it the way it's drawn. These things aren't supposed to be human. And not neccesarily supposed to attract humans (though I suppose they might). Your reason doesn't have enough impetus to have Lutemoth redo his picture anyways.

Well I guess humans will depicit it to THEIR liking, not to some god who doesn't even have a static form.

I think the redgaurds would admire aggressive women. Notice that in her discription she is said to have many arms to "grab" husbands. This, to me, implies that she is sexualy agressive. Rather than sitting back and attracting, she is the type to go after the men she wants. The claws give her a better grip

Well it'll result to impaling 'em on the claws

Anyway could we have a frontal version of her please ? Even a quick sketch would do.

Look on the previous page. Lady N posted a good frontal view.

BTW, what exactly do you need with a frontal view of the Teat Goddess?

I think he wants one in the same pose, for funtionality.

Teat worship. What else ? :p Seriously it'll go for tapestries and statues.

As a note, I think a fertility goddess should have a little more meat on her bones. Especialy some child bearing hips. LN's frontal is especialy anorexic looking.

Hey peops, Its been a while, but I heard about the gods, and felt I may rise from the dead and see if you guys need anything done. Well, I'll take a look around, and get re-aquainted with what sgoing on.. untill then do we have any requests? I know this is Lady N's thread, but i just thought this may be the place to ask. sorry Lady N, and admins

I guess, it was "The Redemption of Althalus", the book, where some fertility god had like 200 breasts - along with the meat.

I went with the really thin waist to emphasize the large breasts and hips, the 2 main "fertility" elements for me. I don’t really see how she looks anorexic in either of the pics.... and I think the claws really complement her look.

anyhow. spme new stuff

some basic idea for hammerfell amulets. the quality is shit. i basicly need to know if these would work for HF. the top row is more civilised, and the bottom is nomad.

That robe looks, well, exquisite! Did you come up with all those ornaments on your own? I've said it before and I'll say it again. You have a true tallent for costume design.

yera. the robe is my desighn entirely. originaly it was just simple trims... but i got bored and just kept on adding.

Lovely pics Lady N. Those amulets would look great in HF, IMO...

I like the third and fourth ones the best. The third one, with the garden and pond, would look great in the courtyard of some wealthy diplomat or trader. The fourth one is simply awesome. Some super-hotty Redguard princess needs to be wearing that.

LN, nice art keep up the great work!
also guys, many early images of a fertility goddes were chubby women who could birth children. They were not skinny sexy babes in see-thru silk dresses... they were solid, fat ladies who were strong and could give birth....
sorry to break it to ya all... mankind started out more practical, then went all out cosmetic and vain

Need I remind you that this is Tamriel? We go by Bethesda's example, not RL's.

well, part of the reason i made her all sexeh is cause i figured her to be something like Diabella (Since many gods in tes corespond). and mara has all kinds of sexual things under her domain.... and again, Morhwa is supose to "grab" husbands, wich once again gives me the whole sex apeal image....

Mara is the mother goddesss, I think you're confusing her with another Aedra. Dibella, I think.

yes, i am

no, you need not remind me, but as the Yokudan culture is different from the Tamrielic man's, perhaps their outlook on life and thier gods is different?
plus, fantasy often bases its lore on real life stuff

just making a suggestion is all

Morwha is obviously a unification of the Mother God aspects of Mara and the sexual apects of Dibella.

so, i decided to do a concept of a "geisha"/ concubine based on lutemoth's wich in turn is based on Enigma's... therefore my is based on enigma's too i gues

anyhow, besides the change in body type i also changed the mood of the pic quite a bit. while lute's is kind of sad or thoughtfull, mine has a more of a...err.... *cant think of word to discribe mood*

anyhow, here it is

Typicaly beutiful design LN. You have a knack for combining elements too, that definatley shows how you developed Lutes concept. I like most of the changes.

Hey Lady N I found a sight that might inspire more hammerfell clothing....

ty enigma

now, i have some concepts for tribla clothing... heavily influenced by lutemoth once again.

the left one is a more common outfit and the right is soemthing more serimonial (wise woman type thing ?)
