Credo - WIP

[nuked92]

Just go with the original theme of crossed daggers for Riften's gaurds. You could replace vanilla's silly looking purple and yellow heraldry with something more fitting to your mod. Like a drawing resembling any of these daggers perhaps:

Ooops too late Nuked.. :whistling:

 

I have decided to go with a fish, I will leave it to everyone's imagination as to whether it is meant to represent a trout looking variation of a slaughterfish or not. I do not plan on changing all of the original heraldic choices, I just felt 2 crossed daggers did not suffice..

Also updated the 1st post picture today.. just for fun.. it represents the civil war within Skyrim..

 

Edit: Also, removed all previous pics and uploaded the new General Tullius. I have decided everything I have done prior can and will be done to a higher standard. I guess the more I practice the more I look back and feel unsatisfied. It is a WIP after all..

 

Although this isn't as crazy as it sounds, a lot will be minor changes and new textures, and I am working with what I have already created, so its not like I am starting all over again..

 

I would expect 2 or three re-made armours a day for the next few days..lol.. :rolleyes:

 

Update: 23/10/12 - Not 100% on this one, just what I put together this morning, so feedback is appreciated..

This looks amazing.

 

For solitude i'd see knights wearing armet like helmets and a tabard with a wolf of some sort on it...Perhaps some wolf fure and a wolf head on one of the shoulder pads? Perhaps for when you change weapon models that you add some sort of holster for 2 handed swords? since they sadly just float around and looks awkward.

 

Love your tullius armor.

 

Really hope this mod gets finished and released soon. :P

 

Best of Luck.

Ooops..lol.. I thought against that last armour.. I suppose I could put it together for you as a stand alone non-replacer if you like it that much?

 

Updated 1st post with the re-done Jarl Ulfric in his battle armour. I have tidied up the mesh and redone the texture, but you might not notice it being all that different.. :happy:

Jarl Ulfic

Words can't fully express how excited I am for this.

Very nice improvements on the Tullius and Ulfric armors. Site won't let me comment on either pic though, and it's only allowed me to endorse the Tullius armor pic. Edited October 23, 2012 by nuked92

Thank you both..

 

@Gron, not sure if you were referring to the now redundant Stormcloak armour with you post or just the whole idea.. :confused:

 

But as I received a PM I thought I would quickly upload this armour as a stand alone mod..

 

It is male only, and unfortunately I could not get the weight sliders to work with the torso and skirt.. Despite having NO trouble with any other armours I have been skinning :wallbash:

 

I is craftable and is the equivalent of the Iron Armour..

 

Its also a modders resource and free to use, no permission required..

It's set to hidden, btw.

I caught your scrapped Stormcloak armor earlier today before you took down the image. It reminded me of the Byzantine (Roman) Varangian Guard. Here's some references if you need any:

@Omnimuffin..

 

Sorry it was late last night, when I received a comment that the textures were not working.. I have now updated the file, so its ready for DL again..

 

@Nuked...

 

Close, the Varangian Guard were viking immigrants to the Byzantine empire, I was going for a mix between anglo saxon warriors and vikings, here are my sources:

 

 

 

 

These were kindly sent to me by a member on the nexus, who is an art student and will also be preparing some sketches for the mod.. :thumbsup:

 

Edit: another mistake from last night... :facepalm: I was only meant to disable comments from the Ulfric armour pic.. but I disabled endorsements as well.. I just thought no one liked it.. lol..
