Kiss me you fool.

Oh I know its easy to replace it with that. Thats why I asked about the boards first. I don't know about anyone else but I never imagined bamboo and Redguards mixing. At least not bamboo as a main building source. I compared it to architecture designs to by other CA's and it just doesn't feel like it fits. The wicker does but bamboo just looks really foreign in comparison. I have no problem drawing it all bamboo.I just initially imagined clay, brick, stone, wood(not too much but some) and lots of leather. Idk those are just my feelings towards it.

Oh, I have a bunch of food pages but I'm gonna wait till I have a final on all of them before posting. I lurvz food.

edit: Mountain golem variation. Might draw a few more. Just finished finals taking a break and then be back with stuff.

**Lighter Than Some** · Developer 12 Apr 2008 Location: sneaking up on you- BAM!! ASSASSINATED!!

Sry had finals. Back now. I'll try to get everything uploaded in the near future. Been also working on modeling. Think I'm going to
go order the student of Lightwave 9. Of all the programs I've used so far its the most efficent for modeling organic things like weapons
and creatures. Its almost like modeling with clay in your hands, or much more so than others. lol. Started basic geometry for the quag
dog with the 30 day trial. Quickly hit 400 vertexes(perlayer) and it wouldn't let me save until I chunked it out. Have a ragada
sword that is very near done, again ran out of points. Here's a pic and my original sketch.

(only problem is that the bone system is buggy so I'll be using max for it)

**Morden** · Developer Emeritus 30 Oct 2003 Location: BC, Canada

Wow. I didn't know you were into modelling. Lightwave is a program i haven't seen in about 8 years. The sword looks great so far.

**Lighter Than Some** · Developer 12 Apr 2008 Location: sneaking up on you- BAM!! ASSASSINATED!!

Love to model, just never have what I need to do it. Time or the right program, until now. lol

**Morden** · Developer Emeritus 30 Oct 2003 Location: BC, Canada

When you're ready for some feedback I'd be happy to give it a once over.

**aro101** · Developer Emeritus 15 Feb 2007 Location: Wroclaw

Indeed, that model looks very promising. You'd surprise me even more, if you'd say that you can do textures. If the answer is positive, I love you.

**Lighter Than Some** · Developer 12 Apr 2008 Location: sneaking up on you- BAM!! ASSASSINATED!!

I can texture, need practice though.

edit: Just about finished the model. Need to work more on the handle but other than that its done. Having a harder time chunking it out the more polys I get. Right now Its at 1050 is or a little more. By time its done it will be around 1200. I have the texture almost complete for the blade. Needs tweeking. Post screeny tonight.

**Lighter Than Some** · Developer 12 Apr 2008 Location: sneaking up on you- BAM!! ASSASSINATED!!

Bump.
Clutter.

Unfinished middle/upperclass table. Going to put more designs around the serpent and some inlaid blue things..
wood table with stain job and metal corners.

and a quicky of Tava

I'm gonna be scanning all day so if I don't dump a bunch more on this page I probably ate something nasty and died. Be back later. lol

**Jelle** · Reviewer 07 Apr 2007 Location: Utrecht

fuck, you make me jealous. Great work on Tava, and the table looks awesome at this point already Very Happy

.

**Lady Nerevar** · Developer Emeritus 08 Jun 2004 Location: New Orleans, LA

love it all Smile

the animal candles are especialy nice -- they are cute and a nice little unique flare to the game. the table seems a bit too simple in its construction for me, i'd like some more curves and carvings. but thats just my opinion.

**Lighter Than Some** · Developer 12 Apr 2008 Location: sneaking up on you- BAM!! ASSASSINATED!!

Certainly lol. Its only half done remember. I originally thought of a mosaic covering the entire top surface but now its only going to be partial. The critter holding two of thos is a Saveek. I think I have a concept of him somewhere. Thanks for the feedback guys Very Happy

That was fast lol.

**lb003g0676** · Developer 11 Apr 2006 Location: Surrey, England

WTF!>!>!?

SO awesome my eyes are bloodshot. The clutter is top notch. TOP NOTCH, and you model.

Eis Crazee!

The animal candles are great, but we had some plans from Lute about little essentially Yoku Gnomes, they weren't gnomes, but they were little makettes. Ill see what I can do when I finally get the drivers back from my old harddrive for my scanner.

**Gez** · Developer Emeritus 22 Jul 2005

Aro, we need to open 700 object claims to get Lighter's clutter in the game.

**Gnomey** · Lead Developer 19 May 2006 Location: In your garden.

**Lighter Than Some** · Developer 12 Apr 2008 Location: sneaking up on you- BAM!! ASSASSINATED!!

Cool. I'll draw a few up real quick and add it to my scan list.

lols @ Gez and Pound

**Lighter Than Some** · Developer 12 Apr 2008 Location: sneaking up on you- BAM!! ASSASSINATED!!

Sorry for my absence. All the sudden got a notice about summer school. Hopefully will be back and working soon.

**Gez** · Developer Emeritus 22 Jul 2005

Lighter! I was afraid you got abducted by aliens jealous of your drawing skills. Let me tell you, a HoCA without artists like you is a sad HoCA. I hope you'll be able again to draw for TR soon! Smile

**Lighter Than Some** · Developer 12 Apr 2008 Location: sneaking up on you- BAM!! ASSASSINATED!!

Almost back just wrapping a few things up. Senior year so far is a breeze so I should be able to get a lot done. lol

**Nanu** · Developer Emeritus 16 Feb 2006 Location: Virginia

This will make everyone happy! Very Happy

**Lady Nerevar** · Developer Emeritus 08 Jun 2004 Location: New Orleans, LA

*me is happy*

**Obagovo** · Developer 05 Apr 2008 Location: Rockville, Maryland

Lighter is returning? These are joyous times indeed.

**Myzel** · Developer Emeritus 07 Aug 2008 Location: The Concept Art Forum

Good to meet you Lighter. I really like your work, especially all the Dunedweller stuff.

**Gez** · Developer Emeritus 22 Jul 2005

Now if Lute could be returning, too...

**PCgamerdude** · Developer 04 Aug 2008 Location: Missouri

If it looks like Buster sword i'll kill with it!lol no one ever means it... lol

**Tallven** · Member 28 Aug 2008

I love your work... concept sketches have something beautiful to them, that you cannot compare to a finished drawing. And yours are exeptional.

How do you draw like that? I'm depressed. Razz

**Seven** · Developer 27 Jul 2008 Location: Florida, USA

You have great talent Lighter, these CA images are beautiful, don't ever stop drawing.

**Lighter Than Some** · Developer 12 Apr 2008 Location: sneaking up on you- BAM!! ASSASSINATED!!

Thanks guys. : )

Sketch dump.

**Lighter Than Some** · Developer 12 Apr 2008 Location: sneaking up on you- BAM!! ASSASSINATED!!

No art yet sry false alarm. Working on my speedpainting skills so that I might provide something to go with sketches. Should have some soon though, got up to speed in school.

**Lighter Than Some** · Developer 12 Apr 2008 Location: sneaking up on you- BAM!! ASSASSINATED!!

*superfluous bow* At your service, my liege.

Door and windows swiped from Myzel Very Happy

I have a crazy idea for an underground/cliff temple that I'm going to finish fleshing out tonight hopefully. The other is a middle class bed with brass corners so one doesn't jab one's self in the knee with sharp wood corners and inscribed designs with semi colorful cotton sheets. 20 Gold. A good deal, just for you, same low price.

Last one completely unrelated. Did an art trade with a friend of mine who wanted her oblivion character drawn.

**Lady Nerevar** · Developer Emeritus 08 Jun 2004 Location: New Orleans, LA

a temple in a cliff would be perfect for the sword singers, theres a sketch group about them lying around some where if you need inspiration.

also like the bed, perfect i think Smile

the composition on the argonian is really nice as well.

**Lighter Than Some** · Developer 12 Apr 2008 Location: sneaking up on you- BAM!! ASSASSINATED!!

Yeah I went and prowled the threads to see what you all came up with in my absence Smile

Wonderful stuff.

**Jelle** · Reviewer 07 Apr 2007 Location: Utrecht

Genious, you are. Love the bed.

**Lighter Than Some** · Developer 12 Apr 2008 Location: sneaking up on you- BAM!! ASSASSINATED!!

Good to hear. I was thinking the incisions might be a little too complex even for middle class. Smile

Either way. Benches. I like them better then the bed personally.

**Lighter Than Some** · Developer 12 Apr 2008 Location: sneaking up on you- BAM!! ASSASSINATED!!

Ok so this was what I meant by an underground temple. It would technically be underground but the entrance would be at the base of a cliff or some such, carved straight into the stone. Color scheme wise it would be some sort of yellowish red stone like antelope canyon.

Not carved by water though. By hand. In the center of the ceiling is a circular skylight. Directly below that is a fountain of whatever deity. In this case I chose Sep. The patterns/motif around the main entrance and around the fountain reflect who that god/goddess is. There are also recesses in the walls for alters, sleeping mats and tables with food for traveling pilgrims. The bowls around the fountain hold incense. Scattered nearby are strange offerings like fresh meat, fish, flowers and those body part amulets. Further out there are those little prayer mats and rugs. Large rectangular colorful drapes are pinned to the ceiling as well.

**Myzel** · Developer Emeritus 07 Aug 2008 Location: The Concept Art Forum

It's a pretty cool idea. Maybe a detailed drawing of the entrance is also useful.
What kind of function do you imagine these temples would have?

**Lighter Than Some** · Developer 12 Apr 2008 Location: sneaking up on you- BAM!! ASSASSINATED!!

Same function as the vanilla chapels. Place of worship for both good and evil. I'm sure Hammerfell has its necromancers.

**Myzel** · Developer Emeritus 07 Aug 2008 Location: The Concept Art Forum

But there are many different types of places of worship. Obviously a remote temple like this one can't have the same function as a normal city-based temple. Because then, who would go there?

I can think of two options:
1. It's a place of pilgrimage. That means the temple is on a site that bears some holy significance.
2. It's a place of hermitage, a monastery. Religious enthusiasts or special adepts come here to have spiritual experiences and whatnot.

Both pretty cool functions I'd say. Smile

About necromancy, as far as I know it's not a religion in TES. So it would make no sense for them to have a temple unless they simply took over an abandoned one as a hideout.

**gro-Dhal** · Lead Developer 05 Nov 2006 Location: A charter'd street

There's Mannimarco, a sort-of Necromancer god. But he's not very Hammerfellian.

**Lighter Than Some** · Developer 12 Apr 2008 Location: sneaking up on you- BAM!! ASSASSINATED!!

Was thinking underground but definitely not remote. Something like this would be built into the cliff-side at the edge of the city. Do we already have a chapel similar to the ones in vanilla only Redguard/Ra Gada? or .. TES 3 had uniquely shaped temples for Morrowind, why not Hammerfell?

In the temple thread, Hem I think it was, thought of a unique remote one in the middle of the desert as a pilgrimage/rest stop sort of deal.

Well that's what I mean. lol. There are a good number of chapels in Cyrodil that are being used by necromancers, not as an official religion no but that's where they're doing their raising the dead stuff. Looted one the other day. Hehe.

Could vary the sizes of these underground dome chambers too. Or could actual exterior structures of the same kind but made rather than carved straight into existing rock.
