Selene310187 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) The beta version is available for testing :smile: http://oblivion.nexu....com/mods/40102 Have fun! ++++++++++++++ While making my Warglaives I saw a lot of pictures of the alluring demon Illidan (World of Warcraft/Warcraft 3). He inspired me to make a Illidan styled race which I call Abyss Demons. This was the most mesmerizing picture, the statue of Illidan on the BlizzCon: http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii81/darklady310187/th_WoW_BC_IllidanStatue_Small.jpg Background story(short version) It all began with Itarkra Tarm, a dwemeric scientist and a mighty magician, who searched for the secret of eternal life. He was born in a Dwemer settlement near Red Mountain 50 years before the Siege of Red Mountain. At the time when the situation in Vvardenfell heated up, he flew to Cyrodiil. He didn't want to become a part of the machinery of war and to refrain from his comrades who didn't accept his works and rather made fun of him. In the seclusion of the mountains of Cyrodiil at the border to Morrowind he built his hideaway which consisted of a laboratory and a living area. After the construction was finished, he used his magical power to weave one part of his hideaway with the structure of the Outer Realms. If required he could change this area into a plane of the Outer Realms completely which was maintained by the magic of Welkynd and Varla stones because it was an enormous energy sapping process. This special area was his experimental space being untouched by outside influences which could disturb his experiments. His staying in this plane prevented that he disappeared like the other Dwemer. He did know that Yagrum Bagarn didn't disappear as well but he avoided any contact with him.The years had passed. Itarkra's research didn't make any progress. One experiment after another failed. His test subjects, mostly beggars, became rarer and rarer. He didn't even shy away from abusing his assistants for his experiments who were simple humans. All died like flies or - when they didn't die - became will-less zombies. One of his assistants couldn't stand by and watch any longer. He flew to Mournhold one night in order to report to Almalexia what Itarkra had done. He hoped that she granted him asylum.Almalexia was very upset. In her eyes only gods should be immortal. She sent her Hands to stop Itarkra's efforts and to kill him. The flighty assistant beaconed the garrison to Itarkra's hideout in the mountains. Itarkra awaited them already. He had somehow found out what Almalexia had planned. Itarkra stood at the entrance to his laboratory with his head held high. But something had occured to him. In the present. You receive an ominous letter. The letter writer asks you to come to Weynon Priory because he wants to discuss an important matter with you privately because he doesn't trust the courier. In Weynon Priory you meet an odd-looking figure sitting at the table smoking a pipe. A hood is hiding his face. He introduces himself as your brother Xantir and is acting on Itarkra's behalf who is according to Xantir your father. Curious to find out more you start your way to the sanctuary in the mountains accompanied by Xantir. The long version of the story has 5 pages in Word. Maybe I split it into different parts and hide the parts as books at some Abyss Demon locations in game.

Selene310187 Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 There are a lot variants of the warglaives in the different Warcraft games. Jojjo's version looks similar to this variant: http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii81/da...lidan_final.pngI took this variant as reference: http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii81/da...reigestellt.jpgJojjo is truly a master in 3D and 2D art and someday I want to achieve this as well. I'm really happy that I built my first weapon from scratch. The next step is creating new clothes, armor and animations. I'm looking forward to this challenge.

Selene310187 Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 Sweet, was thinking about requesting a demon hunter race-but you've already started-looking great! :DMKat101 made a Demon Hunter race as well ;): http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=27133 Since I didn't like the body textures in the previous texture resolution (1024x1024) anymore I redid them in 2048x2048 resolution, so you can see the details better. Furthermore, I added ornaments to the ear texture (reference picture) http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/7720/abyssdemonwipbodytextur.th.jpg http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/2203/abyssdemonwipeartexture.th.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pushkatu Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 This looks great Selene. You will definetly have my download when this is done. We don't get to many good male races and this one looks promising. The only thing I don't like are the hors. It's not becouse the horns look bad, I just don't realy like horns or better said those type of horns. Keep up the good work. Cheers,Pushkatu!
