Argonian

I always hated how Argonians only ever had a few choices in "hair" options, but I never really liked them, especially in Oblivion!
Here's a design I drew up a while ago.

I also miss their cool legs/feet(Ie, Morrowind). Toad like appearances, and human feet; what happened?! :shrug:

O.O
THIS IS AWESOME!! I actually wonder if Bethesda will figure you out and kidnap your firstborn character so they can have your drawrings.

Thanks Ralcos!
I just felt like they needed an option for something like this! So they don't have to *have that bald head just jutting out, because you couldn't have "things" on the side AND the middle, it's always one or the other.


I actually applied to work at BGS, as a concept artist. But I doubt they'll see me. I didn't really have a great resume or any professional experience... I'd LOVE to have that job though. :clap:
And I've seen a lot better artists than me a lot of great compostitions on here. But one can dream. :rolleyes:

Morrowind is the odd-man out in this case. In Arena, Daggerfall, and Oblivion they have normal legs.

There's various speculations about why gamesas made the change, and lore wise, there is no given explanation. Some speculate it might have to do with argonian tree-licking ceremonies, but it's not a definitive thing.

I really don't mind argonians being bald, it makes them more lizard like... or toad like in this matter.
Anywho, I really like the hair idea. I hope there's gonna be more hair options for argonians and eyes option too.

I would like this kind of hair http://bluereptileraptor.deviantart.com/art/Argonian-Hair-201265606 for my argonian character :)
Drawn by me btw

Ah, I see. I never had the pleasure of playing Daggerfall, however I do remember hearing that they looked almost human but blue? or something to that effect. I'm going to go look it up on the youtubes or something. :whistling:
Thanks for the input. :yes:

That was a cool concept, don't the female's have some sort of option similar to that?
I don't mind them being 'bald' I just thought some kind of variation would be cool, I realize it's probably inherent to their race because they're so water-immersive, but I don't really see why they couldn't.

Anyways, thanks for the input you guys. :thumbsup:

I like it! Although rather than a hair option, I think it may work better as a decoration or som'n, so you could have it with any hair style. It mightt symoblise something :shrug:

Yah, maybe. :turned:
I just thought it's be cool if they had some cool feather-like scales or something like that. Haha. They would be water resistant you know... Kind of like how duck's feathers adjust to the water but with more structure and substance to them... :blush: Idk, I just thought it looked cool.

Here's just a thought, lol they could have little bits of them on their forearms or wrists! Maybe some on their tails too? Help keep the heat in their cold blooded bodies! Maybe some on their chests too? Or am I getting carried away? :blink:
