LE Robe/Armor with arcane runes request.

[Xenavire]

I love arcane looking gear, but can never find any that looks good. It's either too skimpy, or too bland, or far too flashy to seem natural. So my request is nice mage robes (black as for now, retextures could be nice) with glowing runes similar to this mod - http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/26963/?tab=3&navtag=%2Fajax%2Fmodimages%2F%3Fuser%3D0%26id%3D26963

My issues with this mod is it's runed leather (I love the robe look) and the runes are less than arcane looking (it looks like a geometry exam vomited on some armor), not to mention the runes are very large and intrusive.

 

So for now the request is a simple black (vanilla is OK, but a more stylised robe would be great) robe with glowing orange (my personal favorite colour) runes (small in size) around the hem and wrists, and I would love it if it could include a matching hood with runes alone the edge of the hood. The actual look of the runes doesnt matter, but would prefer something that looks genuinely arcane. I can't stress enough that I want the runes to glow though (like the arcane enchanters table) as I sometimes like to sneak around in dark places - glowing runes will just add some epic to that. Male and female if possible (I use UNP for female body, and Sundracon for male IIRC, although I find for robes it only matters for females about bodyshape. BBP welcome but not exactly a requirement.)

 

Aesthetically I dont mind small additions, I am a pretty relaxed guy, if it looks nice I am not too picky.

 

 

 

More advanced request - Modders preference (In other words, this is completely optional and will take a lot more work than the original request, ignore it if you dont like doing extra work).

 

I would love some of the same as above, with a few major changes. First I want them to have armored versions, so if thats not something you are interested in, move along, nothing for you here. Now my vision for armored versions include light and heavy, so be warned, this isnt something achievable in the CK, I am asking for legit armor mesh and texture work.

 

For light I imagine a slightly open robe with light armor showing underneath. Still hooded, but with a chainmail cowl underneath the hood. As I see it I think it would be easiest to leave the top of the robes (the chest area) closed, and have armored legs (also chainmail, or possibly studded leather etc) showing through an open area in the robe (something similar to this http://th08.deviantart.net/fs71/200H/f/2012/255/d/5/time_mage_robes_by_neonblacklightth-d5eiz2p.png although I prefer a slightly longer robe, and just with armor underneath.) Again, runed in the style mentioned above.

 

For the heavy variant, I just think that robes similar to the Psijics robes with nice plate underneath (type really doesnt bother me, as long as it fits aesthetically, so darker is probably better in terms of colour.) For reference I have the robes here http://oi43.tinypic.com/2nv72gn.jpg - I could see them covering a darker elven or glass chestpieces, ebony could work too.

 

 

 

 

 

NOTE:

I love creativity etc, but I want these to look as authentic as possible. By authentic I want them to look as though they have always been a part of skyrim, rather than one of those tank top and miniskirt clothing mods, or one of the over-the-top armor mods/conversions (for example the TERA armors are popular.) I dont want it to be immersion breaking - just imagine it on several NPC's as a faction gear for example, if it seems like it could fit, then you are on the right track.

 

Examples of what I mean are the Guard armors, or the Psijic robes, or the Archmages robes, etc. If it looks natural, it's going to make me one happy camper.
