This thread went quiet a while ago, but now the game is almost out in broad daylight I think it has the potential to rise again ^^ Could the mods please move the thread to the appropriate forum though? (Most likely general mod talk or requests?) Cheers! ^^

Randomly threw together this today...The Brutal Machette ^^' cause why the hell not. http://gamesindustryorbust.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/brutalmachette.jpeg

...As in a roughly sword shaped piece of rust? XD or just a realistic viking sword?

Isn't the point of modding to change things about the game to make it better? If you like giant swords and scythe weapons and spiky armor then these additions are a no-brainer. I gotta go with Alcrin on this one, while I'm not the greatest advocate of over stylised anime weapons/clothing etc, but modding is a very personal and fun thing, if you want your char to have crazy anime weapons and hair, then why not? XD The way I always see the spirit of modding is, you play a game and if at any time you think "man this would be better if I could -do X- or -had item y-" then you should go forth and try make it! :) People trying out modding also has the positive effect of making them realise just how difficult making/editing games is...which has the effect of reducing the number of people who complain about why the game doesn't have "X" feature, or is only "Y" long etc...which is always a good thing in my opinion XD

Some tweaks to the DaDao on request, added guard and engravings to the blade... http://gamesindustryorbust.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/dadao2.jpeg http://gamesindustryorbust.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/dadaoengraving.jpeg I'm surprised by the lack of requests in this thread XD

Very nice ^^ I love the belt especially, but then again I have a thing about A-symmetry in character design (probably because when making games you tend to try and keep things as symmetrical as possible...and I love breaking the conventions ^^)

Spiffing idea good sir, done. :)

Update with images of a weapon requested on the sister thread on the official forums... http://gamesindustryorbust.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/dadao.jpg

Fixed the images ^^' not sure why the links weren't working but embedded them ftw. I totally agree with the realistic armour for female chars as well, the number of times I see super skimpy female armour that should have the same stats as a male's super thick plate annoys me XD That's not to say that I don't like seeing revealing armour etc, but I believe the player should have a choice, not simple "Oh you rolled a female? Enjoy "Skyrim: The Swimsuit Edition"

Looks like an interesting idea, Unfortunately until we can get our hands on the tools there isn't much we can do on that front :( Unless you are specifically requesting boats/fishing rod models? XD (these things might even be in the game anyway?) I'll be updating this thread regularly with any progress on requests, as well as it's sister thread over on the official Skyrim forums http://forums.bethsoft.com/index.php?/topic/1228014-list-of-modding-artists-and-request-thread/page__gopid__18528649#entry18528649 I'll also be updating via twitter, my blog and pretty much anywhere else I can XD

If you have ideas post em ^^ I tried to clarify in the rules part that I'm not necessarily against re-creating items from other games/movies etc. When I brought up originality I was more meaning in terms of original requests, not necessarily original items themselves, so as long as somebody else hasn't requested it feel free to toss around any ideas. I just didn't want the thread to get bogged down by dozens of people requesting the same item ^^ (could probably do with clarifying the "Originality" rule as it seems to be causing some confusion XD

Well reference imagery doesn't need to be completed pieces showing what you want an artist to make. When working in the industry you often have numerous images handed to you, so I could say for example (if I was making a new sword) I want something similar to the blade from this sword (Present image "X") and the hilt of this sword (Present image "Y") then the artist has a better starting point. Reference images also convey much more than a paragraph of text can, for example I may be asked to make "A sword with a dragon shaped handle" but I could interoperate that in any number of different ways, the resulting asset could be wildly different from what the person had in mind ^^ It's not just an old saying, a picture really DOES speak a thousand words XD

I might as well get this started by introducing myself ^^' Artist: TheEnemyWithin Skills: 3D Modelling/Texturing Interested In: Custom Weapons/shields + Unique environment Assets Contact on: Forums, Twitter: TheEnemyWithin9, Website: http://gamesindustry....wordpress.com/ I'm currently working on some basic weapons/shields ATM (until we know exactly how the scaling of armour is going to work I think it would be a waste of time to work on armour since it may need to be constructed in a specific way to work in-game). http://gamesindustryorbust.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/behemothsledge1.jpeg This is the Behemoth Sledge, based on a MTG weapon of the same name, just the mesh ATM since I have only had about an hour to work on it but I like where it's going ^^ http://gamesindustryorbust.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/shield1.jpeg This is my custom "Bright Shield", I always end up playing paladin style characters, and with the new mechanics for torches etc in Skyrim I had the idea of "If it's going to be all dark in the dungeons, I want a shield that will light the way!" So I plan to have the gem in the centre giving off enough light to see in the darkness (and possibly stun undead creatures on a shield bash but we shall see about scripting limitations on release) Again not textured but the mesh is pretty much finalised. In terms of requests? I'm looking for some more good ideas for unique weapons/shields to make before the release of the mod tools so that I can have a nice weapon pack to mod in (as special weapons are always a great starting/ending point for quests). I'm also interested in any custom small to medium sized environment assets that could be key points of interest or quest items (such as altars/statues/crazy doors to another dimension). So yeah, if you have any requests let me know. ^^ Thanks fer reading!

Greetings boys and girls, It's been some 4-5 years since I was part of a decent modding community (on account of me going off to do my B.A Masters degree) and I think it's high time I returned to the scene with my newly acquired skills in tow ^^ I remember back in the days of Morrowind/Oblivion modding that the most frustrating thing ever was having a great idea for a weapon/set piece but not having the technical skills required to make it yourself, so I propose establishing a thread to showcase any artists in the community that are willing to take requests and/or work on larger scale projects, and also give people a space to post any requests for art they would like to see in general, or require for specific mods. First things first, we will need to stick to some basic rules to ensure that this thread can reach it's potential and not get banned ^^ Da Rulez! 1: No nudity! - Yes allot of you want various mods for more adult material etc, but this is not the place to request it, it is one sure-fire way to get the thread blocked so just don't 2: Have some originality - As much as we all love some of the iconic scenes/weapons/armours/whatever from numerous other games and movies, please try to keep the ideas original, there is no faster way to lose an artist's interest than a post full of 20 people all crying out for "That sword from FF7!!!" To clarify I'm not saying don't request it, but if you see somebody has already done so and no artist has picked it up, please try not request it again, if you must at least keep it to a simple "+1" 3: Provide reference where possible - If you have a request it is always a good idea to provide reference images/footage/whatever you can get (keeping with forum posting rules ofc). The more reference material an artist has to work with the easier their job, and the better result you can expect 4: Be Nice! - I know this can be asking allot from internet forums XD but seriously, if any artists take take up your request they will be dedicating their valuable spare time to something you requested, for no particular reason other than their love of the modding community. If the final result is not up to your standards don't be a dick about it, try offer some constructive criticism and see if it can be improved. We artists are a sensitive bunch and if you don't want us to turn our backs on you...BE NICE! ^^' I will try and keep an up to date list of all the artists taking requests here, if you want to be included on the list put up a post introducing yourself and including the information below...
