Looking for something new to make

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

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 :P

[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. :thumbsup:

 

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.

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.
