Well hey all dis my first post.

SOrry if u think it looks ugly its because

1. im only 16
2. i drew/coloured it with a mouse on photoshop
3. i used thick lines on photoshop
4. its like 1 a.m. lol


but all feed back is welcome, the reason i drew this is cuz i am a BIG fan of elderscrolls ( aswell as fable/lion head :P ) and i love morrowind and oblivion and in oblivion i always wished i could have a big barabiran type khajiit and i wish i could make these 3-D, sadly i have no idea on how to use it. and the reason im writing this long explaintion of why i drew it is because im going to draw a full one but i wont do it for a while lol.

Art-wise, your piece there is rather nice. Small though it may be, you have some nice colouring and shading in place and it is clear to see this is not your first try at drawing.

Keep in mind, however, that in projects like these, the term 'concept art' is mostly dominated by its 'concept' component. Naturally, that does not mean good artistry is out of the option, but the most important role of concept artists is to help visualize images that the other people on the project did not yet think of, or at least give form to ideas that others suggested.

You will understand that your drawing is somewhat lacking in the "visualization" department (which is to be expected, since you probably did not plan on using it for anything else than showing off your skill). Basically, it shows a cat-like creature with a skull on its head. Most of the members on the project can envision that themselves. You could, however, ask yourself the question of how Khajiiti warriors would dress -and why- or more generally, what would make them look interesting and exotic.

Better yet, though, if you are interested in doing concept work for TR, I would advise you to concentrate on Morrowind and/or Hammerfell, since we have no intention of working on Elsweyr. Try to think what the people or the places there look like, what they (might) do and where.

If you want to give all that a go, I suggest you make a thread in the showcase forum first, as is the normal procedure.

EDIT: Fixed missing word. Thank you, Thrig.

I'm confused. Do you want to work on concept art for us or do you just want to show us this thing you made? :?

Looks nice though.

Practice makes perfect and many others confine themselves to Morrowind as well. If you want to, feel free to make a showcase in the appropriate forum. No pressure.
