No hassle at all - I've already "documented" the buildings (styles, shapes etc.) and most of the landmarks on the Island (and N'gasta) so you'll see those when I create my CA thread within the next couple of days.

If you want an "exact" city layout plan then i'm sure that'd be doable to - it'd just take awhile - but then, it has been awhile since i've done anything useful here...You really ought to buy Redguard though if you really want to get the feel of the place or even download the free demo - It has the whole of stros m'kai just waiting to be "documented away"

the ES WIKI has an exact layout of stros m'kai and general descriptions, so i wont be needing that.

ok, here are the version 3 helkori sketches. i put in notes where i could, but i would be happy to explain (and debate) further.

the bulk of detail and class variation is still provided by texture detail. saves on polygons and establishes a coherent regional look.

I was really hoping something like this would be brought up. A very Central-North African style that Hammerfell wouldn't be without. Very architecturally sound; practical and culturally flavoured at the same time for a lovely compliment to old stone and sand-worshipping Redguard ways

And it also matches your ornamental decorations perfectly Lute.

oh hai thar!

thumbs of middle class northern style architecture.

could use something. i dont know what, but there needs to be something about it that just really makes it unique.

totally agreed. i want to get around to doing nice detailed pictures of these incorporating the wonderful atmospheric pieces Napoleonman did. not sure when ill get around to doing any more in the area but its definitely on my to-do list.

not really an update, just dumping some links for future reference.

And don't forget that the dagger is a very nice touch

Blimey N, looks fantastic. You've improved incredibly.

How's the art course going?

i start college at the end of this month i'll put a sketch book up on conceptart.org so i can track my progress. im taking an illustration course in addition to your standard life drawing stuff, so i hope to see a lot of improvement

more importantly, how have you been?

That's awesome. I will be following too, in fact I will subscribe to the thread.

Can't believe you haven't gone there, because those are so amazing.
