kieranfoy Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 For those of you who don't know, the Old Kingdom Trilogy is a books series by an Aussie author named Garth Nix, and one of my favorites (fun story behind that, actually), involving a family line of, essentially, anti-necromancers called the Abhorsen. Anyway, one of the signature outfits of the Abhorsen is a deep blude surcoat emblazoned with a repeating key pattern. I would love if someone were to make this for Oblivion by retexturing the gaurd cuirass (UFF female, gracias) a deep blue, sort of like this: http://www.stratashops.com/shop/skin/frontend/default/TheLivingQuarters.com/images/colors/large/dark-blue-tile.jpg , and adding in a repeating pattern of silver, old-fashioned keys to it. The spacing of the keys and their size should be something like this: http://www.harpercollinschildrens.com/harperchildrensImages/isbn/large/7/9780060773977.jpg Thank you kindly, and remember, kudos and endorsements galore!

ub3rman123 Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 I'm just curious, Kieranfoy. Why don't you just learn to do such things yourself? It'd save you quite a bit of time. It's not a difficult process, retexturing. It takes much less time than waiting for someone else to get back to you on the request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kieranfoy Posted June 7, 2010 Author Share Posted June 7, 2010 Let me see if I can explain this: some people are born artists. They have the drive, desire, and aptitude. Others have none of the above, and struggle to draw a simple cartoon. And then there's me. I have high-functioning autism, which buggers up my spatial hand-eye coordination. I can barely write legibly. My stick figures are the laughinng stock of other stick figures. No type of art is even vaugley do-able. This porblem is endemic to my mind, I can not change, and neither can anyone else. Saying "Buck up and give 'er another go" will not make my attempts any better. So, in short, I CANNOT do it myself, unless I wish to end up wearing a blue turd intp battle with the forces of Oblivion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ub3rman123 Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Ah, that'd explain it. My apologies. I personally can't do much more than copy and paste from other armors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zprospero Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 It'll be a little bit. I'm having a problem with the normal map, shouldn't take too long. I'm also going to make a male version, the ground version, and some icons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
