Upload it to photobucket or whatever and put the URL in tags.

Really, it looked reddish in the CS. Not sure how helpful this will be then.

Does this seem like a good ebony texture? (It's much smaller I just zoomed in.)

I'll put a link to a .tiff format version of this up if you think it'll do.

I like it. Looks like Black marble.

XD it is because I used the exact same picture for something once

[zprospero]

Well, yeah, that was unintentional actually. It's just that there is a black
marble texture that comes with GIMP, I had layered the patterns and since
ebony doesn't have much red in it, apparently, I desaturated it and it kind
of made it look pretty similar to the original marble texture.

So, I don't know.

I did actually make the new texture, unfortunately making it black
kind of erased all my work, or made it impossible to notice.

EDIT: I knew I saw red! Look at the texture for the Ebony cuirass.


Maybe black marble does fit it better then?

I'ma go make a photobucket account.

[zprospero]

Okay.

I'll wait to see what you've done. I found some pictures of obsidian to get a better idea of it, if we need to.

[kieranfoy]

I think the red's rust.

But isn't ebony a type of wood?

[ub3rman123]

Yeah, in real life ebony's wood. But it makes a more awesome armor if it's a black-and-gold metal, so for lore purposes it's a metal.

Cool. I get to go lore-freak on you.

Yes, IRL ebony is a type of wood, and it just might be that on Nirn also, but in the Elder Scrolls games 'ebony' usually refers to a black metal commanly mined near or in volcanoes.
