[LE] Skyrim custom sign artwork editor wanted!

Hi all,

I'll get straight into it. I am currently creating a New Lands mod and have run into a bit of difficulty. I need some shop/inn signs made and, after trying by myself, realised I am utterly useless at artwork. So therefore I am asking if there is anyone who would be willing to help me out with this project and make the signs for me. I'll obviously include your name in the credits for making the signs. Now, I'll get into what I need doing. There are 7 signs that I need making, each with their own custom artwork. It is very important to me that they alongside the original vanilla "feel", of signs already present in the game; for Inn signs they are usually a picture logo with the name written either above or below the sign, whereas for generic merchant signs they are usually just a single picture related to the shop type. However, no pre-made ones exist for me to use. The ones I would like making are as follows:

  • Spell Merchant Sign: I'm not too fussed about what you decide to include on this, just something related to Magic or something - be creative! It will be used as a generic spell merchant sign for use in all the towns in my mod
  • Food Vendor Sign: Again, just a generic food merchant sign that I will use in all the towns in my mod. Maybe just have a plate with cutlery around it or something - I'm not too sure, this ones also up to you.
  • Swift Arrow Sign: A slightly more stylised one, I'd like it to be clear that its a fletching shop; maybe include a bow and arrow or something, but keep it in style with the other generic merchant signs - so just have the picture and no text.
  • Lundene Fletcher Sign: This is another sign for a fletching shop, but this time in the town of Lundene. I would like it to be different to the Swift Arrow shop sign, but if you can't think of another picture to use then I won't be too bothered. Again don't include text or anything on the sign, just the picture.
  • Dragon Mead Inn Sign: This is an Inn sign, so would consist of a picture along with the words "Dragon Mead Inn". I imagined the picture to be a beer tankard with flames around it/coming from behind the tankard. Something like that, if thats too difficult feel free to edit it slightly. Text can go wherever. EDIT: If that is all too difficult, maybe have a beer tankard with a red dragons tail coming out from behind/the side
  • Crossed Swords Inn Sign: Another Inn sign, so a picture with "Crossed Swords Inn". For this one I'd like the picture to be crossed swords with a beer in the middle. Fairly similar to the ragged flagon inn sign, but with swords instead of daggers and I'd quite like them to be the other way up, so the blades are pointing upwards. Text can go wherever, but preferably in a different place to the others.
  • Drunken Archer Inn Sign: The final Inn sign, again a picture with "Drunken Archer Inn". This time I'd like a beer tankard with an arrow sticking out of the side, as if it has been shot into the tankard. As with the others, I dont mind where the text goes, as long as its not the same for all of them.

Thats it! For the Inn signs it would be great if you could use the vanilla beer artwork. I would say the best ones to pull them from are the ragged flagon sign, the black-briar meadery or dead mans drink. But if you would rather do your own beers, as long as they fit into the same style its fine.

 

For the actual signs I recommend using this modders resource. It contains the meshes of a blank sign. Only one side needs to be completed with the relevant artwork.

I also recommend using this font. It's the font they use in vanilla signs, so would work well.

 

EDIT: It would be great if as well as this someone could create some roadsigns for me - again I tried making these but sucked hard. There are only a few I need doing, but there needs to be a left-facing and a right-facing sign of each. They are as follows:

  • Florin Sign: A city roadsign saying "Florin"
  • Lundene Sign: A town roadsign saying "Lundene"
  • Alverton Sign: A town roadsign saying "Alverton"
  • Shrine Sign: A town roadsign saying "Shrine"

As with the shop signs, use the vanilla font I provided above, but as for the blank roadsign meshes I'd recommend getting them from this modders resource. It contains blank left and right signs, and I would suggest using the "Medium" size.

 

Thanks for reading, just so you know I'm also posting this on a few other forums, to hopefully get a reply.

It would be great if you could make these for me, I'd really appreciate the help!

Thanks,

Will :smile:

Any time this needs to be done by? I'm a professional artist and wouldn't mind a small side project like this one, but since it doesn't pay it'd be relatively low on my priority list and would probably take a few weeks to complete. It's understandable if that's a bit too long for you, I just wanted to know.

Edit: fyi my icon is not an example of my work, i just realized how terrible it looks when im trying to make a serious post

It's okay I don't have a particular time frame in mind, I completely understand, this was just me asking if anyone would like to undertake it! It would be great if you could give it a go, would really help me out a lot! And haha dont worry its fine :smile:

 

Edit: Just if you are going to start it, just let me know and also let me know which ones you are currently doing etc, because if I get replies from others I might not need you to make all of them :smile: Also I added in the instructions for creating some roadsigns as I need them doing too, would you be interested? They seem much easier but I still couldnt do them :sad:

Sure, the road signs shouldn't be a problem!

as for the shop signs, I'll probably start with the Drunken Archer and Crossed Swords ones, since those sound pretty fun to do. I'll let you know when I finish those and start working on other ones.

Great, thanks for agreeing to do this for me! :D

I'm not promising anything right now since someone has already undertaken this, but I might have a look into this, sounds like fun. I'm not a professional artist but I know my way around. I guess I could start with the magic and food signs. I understand if you decline, seeing as although we may both stick to vanilla style, our signs may differ in design since we're 2 different people but I would like to give this a try :smile:

It would be great to have you on board! I'm not too concerned about having multiple people undertake it, I'm not going to decline anyone! Feel free, but just so you know I've already had the Drunken Archer Inn and Crossed Swords Inn signs made, and someone has said that they might have a look at doing the food signs, once theyve finished doing a few edits to the Drunken Archer. Don't let that stop you though, do whichever you would prefer!

It doesn't matter which sign you want me to start with, I can do whichever. Just tell me which signs are being made/already been made so I know which ones I can do. Wouldn't want you to have a replica :smile:

Great, well could you start with the Magic Vendor one then, and see how it is after? The Drunken Archer and Crossed Swords are made and I think the food Sign is being worked on, but the others are all free, so if youd prefer you could do one of those? Thanks :)
