What do you guys think of it?? (i want some comment so that i know if i can make some more...)

storm_crow · Post by **storm_crow** » Fri Jan 28, 2005 10:11 pm

it's very good, very nordicky...if that's a word. The tusks on the buildings are a very good idea, I think we should add mamoths in the northern provinces, and wecould incorporate their bones, tusks and fur into the architecture. Anyways, very interesting concept art.

Stalker · Post by **Stalker** » Fri Jan 28, 2005 10:18 pm

Now the only thing we need is that big anymal the tusks of which are used at the gate. I was thinking something like Mamooth+LoTR Mumakil. I think it will serve the same purpose as Silt Strider in MW 'coz it's a real pain in the ass to make a normal HUGE monster.

If anyone needs inspiration to armor or weapons, here is a little "realistic" site, where it's just ordinary weapons:

viKING · Post by **viKING** » Fri Jan 28, 2005 10:50 pm

The tusks suppose to be bones from a whales torso, I think.

Nice site wishmaster... thanks!!!

BTW, i uploaded my old drawing of a mammoth. I think it has a place here.

wishmaster · Post by **wishmaster** » Fri Jan 28, 2005 11:00 pm

Without fur?
Just asking.

EDIT: Why not add another pair of tusks to make it more terriffic?

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Fri Jan 28, 2005 11:03 pm

Wow wishmaster... you're a man (or woman

) full of idea's!!! I'll make another set of tusks!! great idea really!!

Stalker · Post by **Stalker** » Fri Jan 28, 2005 11:06 pm

That's what I meant when saying Mamoth+Mumakil

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Fri Jan 28, 2005 11:08 pm

Okay, you got good idea's too Stalker

EDIT: Don't think the new version with more tusks will be extremely cool... but i'll try

wishmaster · Post by **wishmaster** » Fri Jan 28, 2005 11:14 pm

Actually, I'm a man after what I know.

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Fri Jan 28, 2005 11:22 pm

I'll remember

Changed Mammoth:

It can be better, its only an idea. If you want something changed, say it.

Stalker · Post by **Stalker** » Fri Jan 28, 2005 11:25 pm

Maybe a shot from the side with a some kind of saddle on it ?

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Sat Jan 29, 2005 1:48 pm

Good idea... i'll do it (i think 8) ). Btw, i have a new helmet: One version is colored, one version isn't.

You really like tusks

Timito · Post by **Timito** » Sat Jan 29, 2005 2:26 pm

Wow, good work BV

, haven't got any time to look after the claymore, maybe tomorrow...

@ Stalker: Well, i don't like tusks SOOO much but i think they are belonging to Nords and skyrim and that things. (Crappy english

)

wishmaster · Post by **wishmaster** » Sat Jan 29, 2005 11:33 pm

Just to think realistic:

But dosen't that type of half-open helms cause conflict with the head mesh? Just asking...

Graff · Post by **Graff** » Sun Jan 30, 2005 11:22 am

I think on open helms it takes up the hair slot.

Slaughter whale. Invented by Viper.

The whale is found under the Ice around skyrims cold coast.

Ribbs from the whale are used in the gate with tusks.

Compared to the gate drawing, that's got to be one hell of a big whale...

viKING · Post by **viKING** » Wed Feb 02, 2005 5:46 pm

yeah! Big fat spooky whale.

Agannazar · Post by **Agannazar** » Wed Feb 02, 2005 6:31 pm

Have you considered the huge FPS decrease that will occur if a creature of that size is inserted into the game?

viKING · Post by **viKING** » Wed Feb 02, 2005 6:37 pm

well, I don't think it would create a wery big lag... Have you tried cait sealife?

Timito · Post by **Timito** » Wed Feb 02, 2005 9:35 pm

Ok, sorry, posted this pic in the wrong thread

This is Black Vipers Short Hand Axe, it needs tweaking and the axehead needs to be done again, Black Viper's also making new textures for it, if I'm not mistaken.

This is some kind of nordic clothing... (the head from the armor isn't very good)

Thank you for watching.

Sload · Post by **Sload** » Sat Feb 19, 2005 10:30 pm

Have you drawn any influence from the nordic items in the game? Notice that none of them have tusks, thus only a few things should have tusks. Nords aren't from the ice age after all; they had much more advanced technology. While I accept the idea of a Nordic Mamoth Thing being in place of a silt strider.

Then again, a more primitive nordic race living deep in the forests or far from the towns in the plains would be a fine idea...

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Mon Feb 28, 2005 4:47 pm

Maybe the tusks isn't a sign of some kind of ice age civilization, but they just use them because they think their beautifull, or for some sign of power... And btw, the helmet was just the helmet i had drawn before.

viKING · Post by **viKING** » Mon Feb 28, 2005 5:14 pm

@Sload: Take an other look ingame and see that most of the (3)nordic helms have tusks or spikes.

Agannazar · Post by **Agannazar** » Mon Feb 28, 2005 8:10 pm

Black Viper, remember that mammoths are usually covered in a coat of thick hair.

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Mon Feb 28, 2005 8:11 pm

Yes, ofcourse, i know, comes in the next version. Don't worry 8) And still then, these are just simple drawings... it isn't for the coverpage of the local PCgamer... for that quality you'd be better looking in Uldars' Thread.

Post by **Haplo** » Mon Feb 28, 2005 11:33 pm

Hey BV I think you should add some fur to the elephant, if it lives in the icelands, it'll need insulation.
