What did you use for his skin/face?

So many good ideas, everyone! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you!

He is a dark elf.

"Ringed and Gathered Warbeard" from the barbarian pack.

I hit the skin with "Arctic Rime Skin".

The armor is a mix of "Dwarven" and "Arkthzand Armory".

The staff is "Engine Guardian".

The dyes on the armor are:

Red Diamond Red, Hlaalu Gold, Brewer's Ale Brown.

Also here is a closeup of the face.

@BlueRaven
Thanks!

By the way, your Maormer looks great, and the Minotaur idea is really unique. Thanks for posting!

Keep them coming, everyone!

Here's my Reachman, Conoch. He's just a kid, but he definitely has an otherworldly strength in him. Now he just needs to learn how to control it...



Also was making a Maormer, but I need to get back on PTS to check him out a bit. I feel like he needs some tats or something. Still disappointed by the lack of finned ears and that he's a bit short - I will say that Maormer is the one race I wouldn't mind if they added...

Kallykat

@tomofhyrule I love these designs! I also really wish they would add finned ears. My Maormer uses an Altmer base, so she's a bit too tall.

Lately I've been using the Gloomlurker marking with the Moarmer skin scales over them. I like it on the arms, but it doesn't look good on the face, so now her skin is two shades.




She looks wrinkly.


[edited Gloomstalker to Gloomlurker... I play DND.]

I made a Falmer too!

I got the look I was going for by using a Bosmer, a sneaky personality, and I think a soul-shriven skin (I am too lazy to log back in and check right now). The chaurus chitin outfit pieces really help with the cosplay.

Here he is with his beloved pet chaurus.



Just two friends exploring Blackreach together.



A brief visit to the Rift to better learn how to ride giant bugs. It's no chaurus, but it'll do.

Kallykat

@FluffyReachWitch Wow! He's very convincing.

So many great ideas here. I really need more character slots, ZOS.

Number_51

Kyngald Mohk Xho-Gatka at Deeksa Tower (updated images).





One with a better view of the armor (but in a not-so-appropriate setting).



Bonus: I'm not sure if this counts as non-playable... Uvraxith Nhem'gol, a High Elf recently reborn into lichdom.

yup. i'd reach for that man too. day-um.

Amazing picture, too. Where were you for that lighting?

Michae

I made a draugr. No, it's not the polymorph.

Kallykat

This is my Ohmes Khajiit, Ka'tlajjan.

I'm not saying she's a servant of the Great Darkness, the Daedric Prince Namiira, but...

By the way, how excited are we that there are two new character slots coming?
Now the problem is going to be choosing just two non-playable races to create and figuring out which of my ideas for new characters works with an Arcanist. I was planning to make a Dwemer next, but I'm not sure how that fits the new class seeing as Dwemer typically don't worship Daedra. Any thoughts on what non-playable races would make good Arcanists?

colossalvoids

Restarted my Tang Mo "cosplay" on an alternative server, daily rewards gold well spent. Wasn't able to go closer to monkey-ish look for Khajiit, but kinda like it that way even.

Better later than never, forgotten repost from Outfit Megathread, still looks the same:)

Kallykat

^ I'm glad you posted him here. He really looks awesome.

Soarora

Back with an update! Finally got him out of his baby armor and made the switch towards using a helmet... which is kind of cheating but much more obvious aha.

^ He looks amazing! What feet does he have, btw?

(And I don't think the helmet's cheating.)

Glad to hear it! He's using deadlands gladiator light. All 3 weights are cloven hooves which I very much enjoy.

Meet a Colovian Archivist


Aurelia Ardente
Raised in Kvatch, Aurelia made her fortune uncovering documents which outlined how the events of the time would culminate in a Soulburst - and delivering the information to the Countess of Kvatch. Consequently, Kvatch was ready when the empire shattered and the gratitude of the Countess enabled Aurelia to take up a house and minor title in Daggerfall.

Sure, she dabbles in the arcane; but what archivist doesn't?

Colovians are just imperials, which are a playable race.

that's kinda reminiscent of what certain Roman Citizens used to say about the Calabrians!

But
Lorewise (and, yes, there was a bit of a 'but' for those Roman Citizens of yore, as well) Colovia was originally a Nordic enclave in an Imperial province with more Imperial access and thus influence than Nordic influence; very much a cultural and genetic melting pot.

So, I'd expect quite a few Colovians would present a blend of Nordic and Imperial traits.Hence the non-playable race theme.

Colovians and Nibenese were a social and economic split that happened a long time ago of the imperial people, who originate from various Nedic tribes. There are some imperials that have nord blood in them, same as there are imperials who have Akaviri and others blood in them. But all in all, they are all still the same race. Some cities like Bruma have Nordic influence, same as Cheydinhall have a little dunmer, and Leyawiin is influeced by argonians and khajiit. Because they are close to borders.
Treating Colovians as non-imperials is like saying Orsinium or Stronghold orcs are not orcs.

"The West is respected as Cyrodiil's iron hand: firm, unwavering, and ever-vigilant. The Cyro-Nords that settled it had relinquished the fertile Nibenay Valley long ago."
Pocket Guide to the Empire: Cyrodiil

By the same argument, treating Colovians as non-Nords is like saying Cyro-Nords are not Nords.

So I think there's some room for interpretation...and, based on the lore, I'm quite satisfied that the Colovians are as distinct from the Imperials as they are from the Nords.

Here's my new Ohmes Khajiit arcarnist, Inerri the Page Turner.

I'm so happy that the new Henna skin works as a wonderful substitute for face markings, which in turn allows me to use these awesome eyes!
