OminousVoice Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Long before the game was released I'd planned to do some sort of Thor style weapons and armour for Skyrim. However, rather than simply dump Thor into the game I wanted to go for a more lore friendly approach. To that end I came with the concept of the Thunderer; a hero granted power through weapons and armour blessed by Kyne/Kynareth. Right now I'm just messing around with retextures of vanilla armour as a sort of proof of concept. http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u7/OminousVoice/ThunderersArmourWIP01.jpg The plan is to release a weapon & armour pack when the CK is released, however I'd like to go a step or two further and add a quest or two around the items. Whether that happens will depend greatly on time and whether or not I can get help with quest writing/scripting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanusForbeare Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Looking good, and more power to you for keeping it within the lore (and can I just say, your character's face is frighteningly accurate)! One note (bearing in mind that this is a WIP): the scale mail on the arms could use a bit more detail in the texturing. It still looks a little two-dimensional at this stage. That being said, it's a beautiful set of armour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OminousVoice Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 I've been working on the textures for a while now. I think I've got something I'm happy with. I've decided to call the armour Sovngarde Steel. http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u7/OminousVoice/SovngardeSteel.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adolon Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Wow. That's very impressive! I'd like to see how this goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OminousVoice Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 Here it is in game. I still need to tweak the normals and specular maps and play around with different cubemaps, but it's coming along nicely. http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u7/OminousVoice/BringTheThunder.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
