What the hell, everyone else seems to have one :).

Initial design idea for the Hounds of Hircine armour. Not perfect.

The Idea is that the Hounds use what they kill, so fur and leather is fair game. As they increase in skills and rank, their armour would be crafted from more exotic material, such as Snow Wolf fur.

I personally love this design. Wild and primal-looking, quite fitting for the Hounds of Hircine. :)

i think the shield on his arm could be a problem. Nice drawing tough.

It would be silly, as it wouldn't provide a shield bonus.

It would function as a normal shield.

Maybe I shouldn't bother with the shield next time...:).

Now I can clearly see that the Hircine Armor nearly completely conceals the features of the wearer in skins. The look is quite unique and, as mentioned previously, quite appropriate for "houndwear."

The concepts of the Sisterhood interiors are quite beautiful. Thank you very much for placing your ideals and I sincerely hope those scenes are possible someday. :)

Great stuff graff, I love the front view for the Houd armor, has a nice 'natural animal skin' look to it. Keep it up! I look forward to more.

Thanks guys.

Atm I'm currently working on doing a detailed hound sketch, showing my ideas for typical clothing, armour of rank (exotic furs instead of typical wolf), etc, some clothing ideas for the Sisterhood (you'll love these Vyvara) and further Sisterhood interior sketches.

Right, here's where I see the Hounds armour going, it's leaning towards Texas Chainsaw Massacre style. Please tell me whether you prefer the original (top of the page and middle of the page) or this one, for style, not quality.

Excuse the quality, this is only a basic sketch which I'll eventually go back to.

Since I <heart> both designs, here's a random thought. Perhaps the first design could be used for the common Hounds, with the second design reserved for high ranks. :)

Great drawing Graff! I personally prefer the new one, I find it looks even more stiched up from pieces of fur and leather, but that's just me. By the way, will the houds wear helmets, well anyways leathery things that cover their faces and head and such, or will the be bare-headed?

The plan is to make the helms (the leathery face masks) less human. Hounds will be required to wear these all the time, except when in camp. A fun idea I had was that the masks must be worn when speaking to ranks lower than yourself, but removed when speaking to a higher rank.

Nothing new yet, no point getting too far into Hounds stuff at the moment...

...However, I'm feeling the need to draw something beyond my concepts for Skyrim horse breeds, any requests?

No point? Bah... I love seeing what you create for the Hounds. :)

While I am working on non-related art, it will be some time before I refresh my thread with new concepts. So if you are up for it, I would really appreciate a visual guide of the casual outfit for the Sisterhood you described to me a while back. Your idea sounded quite enticing. :)

Egads, the jealousy! I'm especially envious of your ability to capture the way light reflects on the dress, and the muscle tone.

Not entirely sure why you're bumping threads in the concept art forum, especially one's that have been inactive for several months, or belong to inactive members. Thirsk, please give it a rest...

And...
she/it is so nice...
I'm not entirely sure whether should be taken as a compliment.

I'll probably start submitting skyrim art now that exams are over, actually.

I'm currently working on colouring all my Hounds stuff before moving onto some Skyrim creatures I've got planned.

I like! the dres have alot of emphasis on rounded scythe-like shapes, and in my mind, blue candles/lamps. it really fits with their style well.
