The Art of Elder Kings - Developer Diary

[saffronmar]

Hello to all the patient fans of the Elder Kings mod,

This thread will henceforth contain all art related posts of the Elder Kings mod from previews to polite discussions and of course feedback on Portraits, Event pictures etc. I will also discuss how certain visuals evolved, if people are interested.

The Dremora now have their own portrait set

The Dwemer return...in the SVN!

Upcoming feature - The very many varieties of Daedric servants.

Previous:

A preview of an upcoming experimental feature.

Now in honor of another feature being discussed by the team,

Coming up in the next update, unique Settlement pics! Here is a small preview for our fans to enjoy.

To further stimulate the wonderful conversations happening in the Racial suggestion threads, in particular the Orsimer, I'm attaching a couple of Event Pics

Regards,
EK Dev Team

By the Nine Divines those look great. Are those by chance Portraits of the Daedric Princes?

 

[Korbah]

They are

 

[smug]

Where would they come into the game? Dadric invasions maybe?

 

[AjayAlcos]

Which one is Sheogorath? I can't seem to find cheese on any of the portraits...

 

[MarceloGaguinho]

Amazing, you guys have some of the best art in all of CK2 mods.

 

[Korbah]

Which one is Sheogorath? I can't seem to find cheese on any of the portraits...

Sheogorath isn't finished yet I think. Right now that shows;
Azura > Hermaeus (my favourite, the eyes staring out of a cloud of infinite swirling darkness) > Hircine > Clavicus Vile > Boethiah > Malacath > Mehrunes Dagon

 

[Djacir]

Beautiful, just beautiful!

 

[MarceloGaguinho]

Cannot wait for Sheo and Molag Bal!

 

[jerald]

They are

I knew I was right. Anyways they are beautiful and the Hermaeus one is my favorite. The Eyes coming out of the infinite darkness looks so badass.

 

[anonymous_jones]

Those are amazing!! So I assume avatar's are in game? Also, are they playable?

This^

The one thing I think sets this mod apart visually is the hard work and quality of your artists to make the races and flavorful art that is so specific to the TES universe a reality in this mod.

Also you have the best looking Orcs of any mod.

Very pretty. No clue who is who(though I could guess which one might be Meridia?) granted.

Come on, what about Peryite. He is probably the easiest Daedric Prince to recognize.

Let's see if I can get them all right. Korbah already revealed the bottom row, so I guess I have a head start.
Mephala - Vaermina - Jyggalag - Meridia - Molag Bal - Nocturnal - Peryite - Namira - Sanguine
(Azura - Hermaeus - Hircine - Clavicus Vile - Boethiah - Malacath - Mehrunes Dagon) - Sheogorath

Overall, they are gorgeous. Can'T say I find this fact surprising, after seeing all the art assets that were created for 0.1.6.

Though I have to say, if I'm correct about my order, I don't know how to feel about Sanguine. Blue doesn't really fit him in my opinion.

This... is simply awesome.

Peryite has never really been a daedric prince that I noticed or paid attention to. If anything I tend to forget he exists and I've yet to do his daedric quest in Skyrim despite all the time spent on it. At least I can't recall ever doing it. I'm not sure I ever found his shrine there either.

 

[fhvlegenda]

By the ALMSIVI,its beautiful!

His artifact is Spellbreaker, so if you have that, you have done it

 

[DevilSauron]

I hope we will be able to play as them eventually

By the way, seeing both Jyggalag and Sheogorath with their own portraits, and knowing about all the stuff from Shivering Isles, what are the plans (if it isn't rude to ask) about the Jyggalag/Sheogorath thing?
