Beast race 'adornment' ideas [lots of pictures!]

vrine · July 2017

Hey guys! I had a really long, boring drive home on the highway tonight, so I ended up brainstorming new adornments for the beast (best) races!
As I got home I quickly doodled my ideas to post here and see what other people thought. Please ignore my half-assed crappy art!
I'm hoping to add more ideas to this list in future

Let me know what you think!

1. 'Clanfeer Collar' [probably a hairstyle]

I love clanfeers, and I love their dino-style crests/collars. So I'd love to have it as an option for my argonians!

2. 'Daedroth Dentures'

I would love a set of crocodilian gnashers as an adornment! Much like their relatives, argonians could rock the toothy look.

3. 'Cocky Crest' [another hairstyle]

This one is based on one of my favourite locals, the cockatoo. This crest would be similar to the other already available ones, but would become raised in combat (if coding would allow for it!).
Otherwise just a permanently raised crest would be great.

4. Narwhal Horn

Perhaps a little silly, but I'd love a twisted horn! Sword (horn) fight anyone?

5. Saber Khajiit

Pretty self-explanatory. I'd love for my Khajiits to look extra fierce and toothy.

And that's all for now! Please let me know what ones you like or don't like, or feel free to add your ideas/suggestions!
Before anyone mentions ZOS focusing on fixing issues before adding content, I fully agree! The sad reality is, they're still going to add vanity items regardless, so there is no harm in a few suggestions

I really like your ideas, especially the saber khajiit

ArchMikem · July 2017

I suggested a fluffy tail for Khajiit once, and in reality someone datamined ZOS is giving us a "Tail Tuft" in the crown store soon.

Thank you so much!

I'll try to add more soon!

Yeah I wasn't sure if any of my suggestions already existed in an un-added state, so only time will tell!

I don't play beast races but I'd still love to see any of those adornments in game. (-:

Thank you!! I might try some for the non-beast races too

vrine · July 2017

Because I can't edit the main post, here are 2 more I thought of!

6. Orc Eye-stabbers

I've always wanted orcs to have the option of obnoxious eye-gauging tusks!

7. Lamia Hood [hairstyle]

Maybe a bit exotic, but I'd love to add a bit of lamia-style to my Argonians.

I really appreciate your efforts on making an ugly race look better. However, you can't change what's inside, they are argonians.

LadyNalcarya · July 2017

I like these ideas!
I dont really understand why ZOS doesnt release more customization options. After all, they dont require much work (many of them are already in game, but havent been released yet), and this kind of stuff usually sells well.
And ESO character creator is so limited.

Beast races at least have different fur/scale patterns, but if you want to make a cute elf or breton, they would look exactly like 90% of elves and bretons... Ok maybe Im exagerating a bit but still.

That's deep man! I disagree, but thank you

Yes! One of the main reasons I'm drawn to beast races is that it is so easy to make them look unique. Character creation is my favourite aspects of RPGs and MMOs, and I'd fork out good cash for lots of extra options. Hopefully ZOS will add more in future!
Also thank you!

I never understood why khajiit didn't get different tail options. Adjusting the booty slider for argonian lets you change their tail length, at least, but not for khajiit. I mean, why can't my khajiit have lost most his tail in some horrible bear trap incident? Why's he gotta have a gangly monkey tail? It would be cool if there were different style options in that department. Tail tuft that was datamined is a step in the right direction, but more options are always better.

Yes! Like a bob-khajiit with a stumpy tail, or a well-permed fluffy tail would be some cool options. Maybe they'll add more hopefully?

Saber khajiit hype!

Awesome illustrations too, you get insightfuls

Yeah, a bob-tail or something fluffier. I like the sabertooth style teeth as well. But definitely more tails.

This is wonderful, keep up the suggestions. I don't play Kajiit or Argonian, but that's not to say I won't either. Would be great to see more custom individuals running around

Your words reflects the "beauty" you hold inside.

Thank you very much! I'll try and brainstorm more in bed tonight

I'd love to come up with some non-beast ones too!

I love the Narwhal horn! But I don't like it when it's only a narwhal horn and the rest of the head is bald. I would love to use it with another hairstyle.

Oh yes of course! That's why it'd be an adornment, so it can be used with a hairstyle

Great ideas! Going to @ZOS for you.

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom pass these ideas on if you will.

vrine · July 2017

Only equipped with MS Paint and a mouse, but it didn't stop be from churning out some more ideas!

1. Feathered Tail

I have a bird themed Argonian that I'd love to be even more birdy.

2. Club Tail

For whacking the dry-scales!

3. Bob Khajiit

No one can pull on your tail any more!

4. Well-permed Tail

If you're a Khajiit that lives a life of luxury, you want to be able to show it in every way possible.

WuffyCerulei · July 2017

Your style is painfully cute...! I love em all!

I love clanfeers

You got an awesome just for that

love them.
Great ideas overall and your concept drawing is very nice too!

Kram8ion · July 2017

These are really great ideas keep them coming and maybe they'll inspire something amazing
Is the narwhal horn actually a tooth?

vrine · July 2017

Thank you all, I really appreciate it!

Really inspires me to pump out some more

Thank you! Lol maybe 'Unicorn Argonian' would be more accurate then?

vrine · July 2017

I've been a bit slow with these, but more are coming! For now, here's some more MS Paint goodness

1. Argonian Daedric Spines

I want to be spiky darn it!

2. Spade Tail

Similar to club tail but less dangerous (maybe?)

This is what i meant. I hope they finetune the model a little bit than that though.
