Shakespeare's Concept Art(more to come later)
Creatures
Obviously, my pictures aren't very good right now, but my skills will get better with practice, and one of my pics may, just may, give a modder an idea for something he might make.

^^This creature is like a cross between a Daedroth and a wingless dragon.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d82/USofA/JosephsPrivatePictures011.jpg
^^Here's another shot of the same drawing, except you can see the details in the monster's midsection.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d82/USofA/JosephsPrivatePictures010.jpg
^^This one here isn't anything important. It's just a shot of the flame that the beast is spewing.
Weapons
I know that these weapons aren't very good, but, then again, they're from a while back.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d82/USofA/JosephsPrivatePictures007.jpg
^^The dagger on the far left is glowing with blue flame, and those numbers above each weapon are the damage ratings.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d82/USofA/JosephsPrivatePictures006.jpg
^^Same weapons, different height from which the picture's being shot.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d82/USofA/JosephsPrivatePictures003.jpg
This time, I really messed up when taking the snapshot. I didn't photograph all of the sword on the left, but I'll change that a bit tomorrow when I have time.
Look, I know that these pics aren't very good and there aren't very many different ones, but go easy on a new user. I'll bring some more in later, ASAP.

No need to say that your drawings aren't good and asking people to go easy. Most people around here are pretty nice about such things.
Even if they were horrible (they're not that bad, some of my drawings used to look like that ) anyone posting to tell you so without trying to give constructive criticism would surely be swatted with a slap of righteous anger.... or something.
Anyways, I like some of the designs for weapons you have going, like the hilt on one of the daggers would look pretty cool given some more detailing, though I think the blade would need more work.

The "Dragon's Fury" sword has a pretty cool blade and handle, but I didn't include it. I'll try to upload it now.
BTW, PoHa, I'm not familiar with what the ranks mean(reviewer, etc.). How high is your current ranking in the scale(lowest to highest)?

Here they are, the drawing with the two swords, except I'm now focusing on the one that was cut off.

Well, there's the other half of that one sword.

Hmm... I don't know if its really neccessary to post several pics of the same pic from different camera angles... I don't think it adds much. Now if you could draw these swords from different angles, that might be cool, and good practice to boot!
Be certain to work on details more. Some of these would look really cool if they had more detail to them.
As far as ranking, there really isn't that much of a ranking system at TR (ie some forums give you a rank based on # of posts, not so at TR). I'd suggest looking at the FAQ for more info, but a reviewer is someone who makes sure that things added to the project are of decent enough quality to add, that's all.

OK, OK.
I'll try to draw those swords from different angles in a little while. But first, here's the same drawing, except a little bit better.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d82/USofA/JosephsPrivatePictures029.jpg
The blade has a nice dragon-head design on it.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d82/USofA/JosephsPrivatePictures028.jpg
As you can see, the handle has changed a tiny bit.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d82/USofA/JosephsPrivatePictures027.jpg
Nothing much, just another pic of the handle.
Creatures]
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d82/USofA/JosephsPrivatePictures035.jpg
That's the abominable snowman, a strong homonid creature from the high mountains of Skyrim. It's incredibly powerful, about as strong as a minotaur. They're not very intelligent;in fact, it's amazing they even know how to utilize crude weapons like branch clubs.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d82/USofA/JosephsPrivatePictures034.jpg
Here's a better view of him.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d82/USofA/JosephsPrivatePictures031.jpg
[i]Voila! His whole body. I would draw him from all angles, but it probably isn't worth it since no one is really gonna care about this creature.Yup, this creature ain't really gonna go very far unless I'm lucky enough that a modeler finds this and says, "Hey! Good idea!" Like that's ever gonna happen. Anyways, I'll draw him from all angles if a modeler comes along and approves of my drawing(but there are other, better ones to get hooked on.

Orix, are you a modeler? Just asking...
Yeah, but who's gonna want to edit another random concept art?
But if someone wants to model it, I'll draw it from all angles...

Hehe, no, I couldn't model my way out of a paper bag (in any way shape or form)
Although TR certainly has a wealth of talented modellers that could help you with anything you could need

Here's my latest concept art. And this is actually one of my lamer ones.
Creatures
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d82/USofA/JosephsPrivatePictures039.jpg
This is a chimera monster. The chimere are some of the most horrifying creatures of Tamriel, yet even this one is weak and lame compared to the uglier ones. There are two classes of chimera in different provinces:lesser and greater chimera. And this one is a Lesser Chimera, which is why it's so lame compared to what you might expect.
*to the guy who posted below me* Yeah, I know. The creature itself looks like crap, but at least it's an idea. But I'm sure that someone else before me thought up the idea of an abominable snowman or a chimera. No biggie, I'll redraw the Lesser Chimera and try to draw a better, more "horrifying" one.

uh
The idea is good for the three headed thing. I just don't think you did a very good job molding them together. If you're drawing the fiercer one, try blending the beasts together in a weird way that will make the beasts seem together as one.

Hey, here's the Lesser Chimera, a better version of it(I think). I drew this in Paint, so don't criticise it for not being artistic enough.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d82/USofA/Chimera2.jpg
Yup, this one looks a bit better than the last one. But I didn't know how to jumble all those different heads together without messing up the creature(i.e. Making his upper body too heavy so that he couldn't keep his balance).
As you can see, the bottom half of his body is two snake tails, on which he slides across the ground. That thing may look like a dog, and it sorta is, except it's lower jaw is much too big and powerful to belong to Fido. The upper jaw and face are like a dog, except more reptilian(look at how many teeth it has). The thing in it's chest is the head of a vulture, while those wings are the wings of a winged-twilight, which it uses to go a bit faster. The wings don't entirely get it off the ground; they only lift it up a little so that it can, literally, use the twin tails like legs. And, of course, it has two snake-heads between it's shoulder blades.
It's different body parts have different attacks. When it uses it's wings to lift itself up so that it can catch up with you, it can whip you with it's tail for a brief moment before setting itself down. It's snake-heads inflict poison damage on you. The arms, the "dog" head, and the vulture do physical attacks.

Actually, Hamlet, if you go to the bottom of the main forum it shows every thread recently updated, so every time you've posted, someone has most likly read it. Its very likly someone is going to find this thread.

Here's a few more. They're boring, uncreative and tasteless, I know, but then again, they were on the Paint program, so not much to do.

Here's another version of the lesser chimera. Where or not you like it more is up to you.

i would be able to model the body for sure, the only thing im concerned about is the hair. i just started using blender last week so i haven't been able to find out if it has a "hair editor" (i dont know the real name for it)
if we are doing skyrim before we move over to the oblivion engine i dont have to worry about this because morrowind is definately not powerful enough to handle it.
but chances are that when we finish morrowind and move on to skyrim we'll be able to notch up the graphics and ill have to find a way to add hair.
if you were too lazy to read this post then basicly yes i can model it, for now.

i know anout the whole school thing. im in high school.
really only started reading tutorials and shit on wedensday because there was an NJ teachers convention and we had thursday and friday off.
so ive really only been working with bender for 3 days. the reason i was able to do that is because bender is an amazing program that is so much easier to use than the 3 other programs i tried (anim8tor, softimageXSI, milkshape).
and as for milkshape i suggest you get bender instead because in the end its a much better eaisier program once u learn how to use it.
download bender here: http://www.blender3d.org/cms/Blender.31.0.html (get version 2.37, 2.4 alph isnt stable yet)
and use this tutorial (it was a great help for me): http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Blender_3D:_Noob_to_Pro

Uh, Hamlet, I really don't mean to sound like a critic; but are you planning on the Snowman guy being in TR...
If you are, you may be very disapointed by its results... Lots of the creatures and other items TR members put into the project need to be lore correct. Your snowman, well, he's more of a non-lore. Maybe if you bend the idea and make it more original it would be better...
