[WIPz] Argonian Only Armor

Post » Sat Aug 07, 2010 1:26 pm

I just can't wait to get this version done and move onto liztails body. Ive never noticed how poorly made the argonians are before working on this armor. It's terrible :P

Oh, ive made a mockup of a round wooden shield too.

Indeed, the vanilla Argonian bodies look like shriveled up old mummies :P

Ha ha ha. I can't beleive bethesda stopped working on the argonian bodies and thought to themselves, "yeah that looks great!" HA

When they crouch some big triangle sticks out of its [censored]!, and when they jump their neck rips in two!

finnish off every piece,


Armor from Finland?

Seriously though, this is lookin' pretty good. It does look a little weird without a loincloth though.

Yes indeed, the armor is made in Finland and shipped over to Argonia :facepalm:

Yeah, ive actually just started modelling the loin cloth now. Just cant decide weither or not it would be best used as greaves or a part of the cuirass, because the straps on the cuirass should connect to the belt which holds the loin cloth.

I'll figure it out

Well, in vanilla, the loincloths are attached to the cuirass. So if you want the armor to be compatible with vanilla chitin, netch, and daedric, attach it to the cuirass. If you don't care, well, then whatever. I don't think anyone is going to mix this armor up with others too much.

Also, making the loincloth front-only would be a good idea because of the tail, then again, you probably already figured that one out.

Will the tail have any sort of armor on it?

P.S. I just realized that it probably will be impossible to wear with pants!!! That is okay, who needs 'em anyway!

Yeah i know in vanilla the loin cloths are generally attached to the cuirass, but, im just playing about at the minute. Just seeing what works best with the style of armor im going for. And as for the loin cloth being fron only, i have a cunning plan to tackle that :)

And indeed i was thinking of making some strapped on plates for the tail, but im not sure weither it will look right. I may work on it as a optional extra or something.

And your not wrong, you can wear pants, but only the groin will be visible. Which you may or may not like. But as you can see its not exactly the standard kind of armor (trust me to pick really awkward armor to make for my first time)

But im starting to like the armor myself a little now, so thats good :P

Is it a split butt-cloth? That would be soooo goofy looking on non-Argonians!!!

No, I do not like wearing diapers. Are you sure the knee won't shine through also?

What do you mean? Why would the knee shine through anything?

Yes it is only for Argonians, but that doesn't mean that I can't modify it for my own use right? (I might use pieces as a template for a gladiator armor if I get bored or something.)

Also, if you don't make the greaves take up the knee slot the pants will still appear, I believe. you may want to add a dummy knee so he doesn't wear knee pads and a diaper.

Well i don't think i will be releasing it as a resource for a while. And if and when i do, MODIFY IT..... you answered that one yourself.

And just don't wear pants... I don't think ive ever worn a set of armor in morrowind and then insisted that i need a pair of pants on :P

Oh, I just kidding. I just imagined the funniest looking loincloth ever. I probably won't modify the armor either, and if I did, i definitely wouldn't release it.

Sometimes I use magic pants, but once again, I'm only pulling your leg.

After actually seeing it on an NPC, I'm still not certain I like the color (the gray just kind of fades into their hide), but the models looks great, regardless :P In regards to the loincloth, I'm not sure I like the look of argonian skin on argonian skin (unless that's just a placeholder). Maybe if you're still going for the 'animal hide' look, you could try one of the leopard skin textures (tx_c_shirt_expensive_1_e, tx_c_shirt_expens_1_e_ua, or tx_a_imperial_belt_female) or the durzog texture? Maybe even just the khajiit texture. Food for thought :D

BTW, we never saw Westly's finalized shield emblem, did we?

Yeah I was just gonna use a standard cloth material. But you guys have given me a few ideas :)

Loin cloth is modelled and in game looking quite snazzy by the way :)

Leopard skin would make the argonian look like a member of motly crue or something. Lookin forward to the next set of pics!

Awesome! The Argonians are getting a lot of love this month!

I think leopard skin for the loin cloth would be funny for an easter egg version.
