Kraeten Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 (edited) The new version is fantastic! I'm looking forward to seeing it released! Will there be a helmet though? Or will the hood have an armor value? Edited July 11, 2012 by Kraeten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankdema Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 there will be both, the cape\hood for those who like the light assets and a open faced steel plate helmet (similar to the talos one) for those who want more protections, the texture of the helmet will be similar to the textures of the chest plate.

Awesome! I'm sure we'll all be grateful that you took the time to provide both. Cheers! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankdema Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 it is a pleasure for me :D it only increase the fun :D so guys take a look to the boots concept, anything that you would like to see on them? some special accessories? just throw your inventivness on me, but don't ignore me please :D because in that case it is useless for me to update this thread like i'm doing http://static.skyrim.nexusmods.com/images/3805873-1342010142.jpg news on the cape coming this afternoon or tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraeten Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 The boots look good! Not sure what else you could add though besides maybe more straps? Nice touch with the dagger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankdema Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 thank you for the suggestion! yeah more straps for sure because like this the dagger looks way too unstable....i was thinking about maybe a new work on the texture ot some minor accessories (just for embellishment) like a hawk feather on the top of the boot....will see what about the cape? does it look good as it is?

In regards to the accessories they do a great job of adding to the unique character of the armor, so I'd definitely encourage you to experiment. The feather sounds like a good idea too. what about the cape? does it look good as it is? The cape is excellent, there's nothing I can think of that needs improving or adding. Although I wonder if it might look better if the color of the cape matched the blue gray of the waist fabric.

frankdema Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 ok, there are two options, a fur texture for the cape like the ones from northborn's fur hoods (i've already sent him a pm to ask permission tu use them) or a grey look like you said, i will try both in game and will post some screenshots to see what you and other people prefer.i would like more the fur texture because it gives the nordic feeling that i'm searching for the armor.

Gunvarian Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 (edited) Dude... you've got quite the taste. I like your style (but maybe you already know), and if you still accept suggestions: go for the long skirt and try to put more leather parts/leather strips on this armor. You aim to be as much loyal to the old norse hystory as you can, right? Metal plates were not so popular, even amongst kings (but of course your personal touch you put in this work is still so bold).Oh, almost forgot. I love the engravings! Ps. Okay... I skipped the second page of this topic to realize just now you totally changed your mind from the original armor.I like the new version a lot more, casual vikings are always nicer than the noble ones. But still the fur armor skirt clashes too much with the royal plates on the chest, don't you think (the blue one fits perfectly instead)? Maybe you could try to use a leather-retexture of the robe we've seen in the first screenshot? Or the kilt from the leather armor...? Oh... take a look at this for your cape: Apotheus ArmorI use a self made grey version of its scarf and it looks wonderful! :) Edited July 12, 2012 by Gunvarian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankdema Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 thank you gun :D i'm glad that you like the armor and the style behind it, i aalways try to make the armor as i would like to wear it but unfortunately sometimes i have to give up and consider that there are also people that don't like my rude taste so i have to go for a less rude and a more equilibrated look. thank you for your suggestions, well, those are the vanilla textures for the hide kilt, i will put a link in the description with the great retexture of heverglmir, that match a lot more with the two robes and since i don't want to charge the rar file very much i'll not ask him to put his retexture in the armor files.the choice to remake the skirt part was taken due to several reasons:-the mage kilt looked horrible in game- i made a mess trying to set the weight slider- the saskia pants were giving me a lot of trouble with rigging and my skills are not very high in that field yet as for the cape, i would like the hood to be maintained, probably i'm gonna use the northborn fur hoods textures to give it a very cold-protective look, i want to keep the cold theme of skyrim alive that's why i used the hide armor and pieces of fur, the nordic weather is a fondamental part of the lore-friendly for me...
