Anybody seen these imp-like creatures before? Sort of Clavicus Vile-esque to me. Also showing some Seducers I put together for personal use. Made from various available meshes.

**Melchior Dahrk** · Developer 28 Nov 2008 Location: Outer Realms

I've seen those imps, along with the ogre or whatever. I don't remember how good the animation was, but I think it was decent. I never thought of connecting them with Vile before... not a bad suggestion.

The Seducers look okay, though the heels don't match the daedric armor very well, imo. I think they could maybe use some tattoos or something on their skin. Or maybe skin piercings. Something to break up the bare legs. Very Happy

**Ashstaar** · Developer 02 Jun 2005

Working on a number of other humanoid creatures and daedra. Here is a Xivilai. Sort of a mix of Battlespire and Oblivion. Also an Oblivion style Ogre.

**Melchior Dahrk** · Developer 28 Nov 2008 Location: Outer Realms

Oh man, I love those! Hahahah! They'll fit right in with the other monsters we encounter in Morrowind.

I'm afraid I don't share MD's enthusiasm for the Orge (the colors don't match Morrowind's aesthetics, and common fantasy mainstays like ogres are out of place in Morrowind), but the Xivilai looks like a fitting addition to our lineup of Daedra.

On an unrelated note, I'd love to see you finish those clothing claims of yours, Ashtaar. Very Happy

P:C could perhaps use an ogre?
I'm guessing limb proportions are a limitation of the 'Humanoid' frame.

The Xivilai does look like it'd fit, nice job. Could look less like a horned buff Dunmer, with a different skintone?

**Ashstaar** · Developer 02 Jun 2005

These aren't finished yet, so there will be tweaks and additions to the models. Am considering trying to attatch the Ogre body parts to a different skeleton and adjust the proportions to fit. Maybe. And yes, I would only place the Ogre's over near the Cyrodiil border.

Yeti: Sorry the clothes are taking so long. I got caught up making a large personal mod. Also real life things.

**Yeti** · Lead Developer 15 Feb 2009 Location: Minnesota: The Land of 11,842 Lakes

That's fine, Ashstaar. Feel free to take your time. I just wanted to make sure you hadn't forgotten about them. I guess my enthusiasm for how awesome your stuff is makes me impatient to see it added to TR_Data. Wink

**RyanS** · Lead Developer 19 Aug 2013 Location: California

I was just wondering. How are these creatures coming along, Ashstaar? It would be disappointing to see them wasted.

**Ashstaar** · Developer 02 Jun 2005

I am still working on things. Here is a Dark Seducer/Mazken.

**Dormichigan64**

Looks awesome! I've been always waiting for seducers to be in Morrowind. Wink

**horus** · Developer 06 Aug 2014 Location: Murica

I like it, too! Looks really good Smile

**Ashstaar** · Developer 02 Jun 2005

Thanks for the likes. Xivilai. Should be ready for action. Going to work more on the face texture though.

**RyanS** · Lead Developer 19 Aug 2013 Location: California

Looks great! It'll be neat to see these in game. Very Happy

**Dormichigan64**

I think the Xivilai could have a more demonic face.Great job, though.

**greendogo** · TR Tester 29 Mar 2008 Location: Land of Oz

The Xivilai is a nice start, however:

The Xivilai looks like a Dunmer with horns and yellow eyes. I think you need to start with a blank slate with the facial texture and tweak the facial model (those eye brow ridge cavities are dark/high elf ridges)

You did a nice job bulking him up in the legs and torso (maybe a little more in the torso), but the body texture is extremely reminiscent of the playable races. He really looks like a Dunmer, instead of being from a different species entirely.

Doing a Google search for Xivilai pulls up a lot of good stuff to work from, like this:
http://www.deviantart.com/art/Oblivion-Xivilai-347570021
(notice there are no ridge cavities like there are for dark/high elves)

The Xivilai you're working from (from Battlespire) is a specific Xivilai Lord named Moath. It's unclear from available sources (beyond finding a copy of Battlespire) how Battlespire depicted non-unique Xivilai entities, or if these would even be representative of the whole. Hell, they can probably look like whatever they want.

Nice Mazken!

**Ashstaar** · Developer 02 Jun 2005

Here is a comparison shot of xivilai, dremora, and dunmer. I am continuing to refine the model. The face is ok to me but I understand what you are saying, and would like more of a different look myself. I have Battlespire and there are a number of different looking xivilai, or what I took to be xivilai, throughout the game from what I recall. I like the look of the Battlespire characters and chose to work from this one and mix in a little Oblivion in the skin color department. Thanks for the feedback.

**Ashstaar** · Developer 02 Jun 2005

Lower brow ridge, bigger forehead, altered nose and chin. With and without tattoo.

**RyanS** · Lead Developer 19 Aug 2013 Location: California

Wow, this is looking even better! I really like the one with the face tattoos.

**greendogo** · TR Tester 29 Mar 2008 Location: Land of Oz

I think the eyes are now different enough to set it apart from the eyes of either the Dunmer or Altmer. Nice work.

**Melchior Dahrk** · Developer 28 Nov 2008 Location: Outer Realms

I like that Xivilai, Ashstaar!

**Ashstaar** · Developer 02 Jun 2005

Thanks, MD and others! Here is an update on the Ogre. Rigged it to an armature so it functions as a creature now. Still need to work on it some more though. Also de-saturated the textures.

**Ragox** · Developer 20 Jul 2013

These look truly awesome! Smile

BTW please check your "Daedric and other Artifacts" thread Ashstaar Razz

It would be such a shame if any of your models would get lost.

**Ragox** · Developer 20 Jul 2013

Ashstaar could you please post the mesh and texture files as well? Also for the Daedric creatures you posted in another thread.

I'm freaking out about the possibility of losing any of your material...

You're like the last really talented mesh maker for MW imo Smile

**Ashstaar** · Developer 02 Jun 2005

Some Daedra I've worked up. A couple Xivilai, the yellow daedra from Redguard, a Herne, a Morphoid, a Mazken, a Seducer Oathkin, and Aurorans.

**EJRS** · Developer 14 Aug 2013

Love the herne and the morphoid. The unhelmeted auroran looks really outstanding, what's the concept with them?

**Melchior Dahrk** · Developer 28 Nov 2008 Location: Outer Realms

Being a big fan of the original game style. These are FREAKING AMAZING!!!

Such great work as usual. What's your plan for these?

**Ashstaar** · Developer 02 Jun 2005

**Infragris** · Developer 10 Mar 2013

Ashstaar, would you be willing to share your Aurorans for Project: Cyrodiil? Your work is really outstanding.

**Yeti** · Lead Developer 15 Feb 2009 Location: Minnesota: The Land of 11,842 Lakes

While a good-looking model, the Aurorans could use refining here and there. Better textures for one, and removing parts that appear a tad cobbled together, such as using Helseth's Royal Guard helmet for the second Auroran's face. Yes, Oblivion used a similar design for the Auroran, but it's a little too similar here.
