I have a question about the dwemer ruins in the desert are you guys gonna make maps of the ruins ?

if so id be happy to draw up a ruin in the sand.

furthermore id like to know how many variations of red gaurd cahracter would you like ?

The variations are a matter of facegen, we'll not create different models or anything like that. If you have some good ideas for dwemer ruins, do go ahead and post them. If they're detailed, even better. But I don't understand what you mean by "making maps of the ruins".

well i mean like making them accesable as part of quests , like going to the dwemer ruins for the puzzle box.

Ive read all about how hammerfell was named , and then how the dwemer dissapeared leaving ruins engulfed in sand dunes.

It would be cool if we had one or two as quests or areas to adventure.

Ill be able to draw up some conecpt work of the ruins .

Furthermore id like to do some more costumes for the redgaurd both male and female.

i was thinking of doing concept work for tribes and the "snake believers" the ones that writhe naked in the sand . the nomads

Dwemer ruins will of course appear in Hammerfell, it's impossible to have one without the other. If you have any ideas as to how they should looks, go ahead and post them. But, remember that the Dwemer clan of Hammerfell is different from those in Morrowind.

yeh they didnt accept the alliance with the high eleves , and decided to self exile where ever the clan masters hammerfell , so to speak .

i think they would then have their very own unique dwemer style buildings to suit that environment , any ideas would be good , a wee brain storiming session on this subject might be good , i read the lore on it , but doesnt offer much in terms of building description.

look to stros m'kai for insperation. it is very much like hte MW set, but with some differences. arthmodeus and scumbago did some concepts on it alredy (someone else might have too, sorry if i forget) you misgh want to look at theirs for ideas/insperation.

also, some lore corrections on your part:

the rouken didnt accept an aliance with the chinmer, not the high elves.

also, if you want to do concepts start your own thread and post stuff there. there is no need to tell people what you want to do in a whole different thread. im getting tired of it and its concidered spam.

yeh ill check out the work done already by scumbago arthmodeus.

and i wasnt spamming i was asking about the concept art of hammerfell with regards to the dwemer ruins in the desert , i think you may have jumped the gun there !

thanks for the advice

So I had a thought today...
Presumably, there will eventually be quests that involve these dwemer ruins. How on Nirn are our voice actors ever going to pronounce them?

well id be happy to give it a bash , wouldnt be that hard , take a look at the langauges they used in star wars , the actors werent given scripts they were just told to make it up as they went along !

we could do the same with subtitles or just pronounce the words with great difficulty

This has nothing to do with the Official Hammerfell Concepts or with concept art at all.

Please take the discussion elsewhere.

I apologize. The recent posts were about dwemer ruins and I'm afraid that I forgot the thread was about concept art rather than the dwemer. Didn't mean to jump tracks.
