Argonians in Skyrim : V

» Mon Dec 13, 2010 3:59 pm

I would want them too look more beastly and "intimidating"
But at the same time I want them to look humanoid

So, I would like them to look a bit more like humans than in Morrowind and a bit more beastly than in Oblivion.

I hope we have a choice between the two. I would prefer beastly. But really, anything would be better than what we had in Oblivion.

I think they're going to look intimidating and grizzled so to speak.

You described exactly how I'd like them :goodjob:

I prefer the more humanoid Oblivion and Daggerfall argonians

Out of all their iterations in the series, I'm most fond of their overall physique in Daggerfall, but I'm hoping that their heads will be colorful and exotic like Morrowind's. None of Oblivion's deformed dinosaurs.

I rather liked the Oblivion-style Argonians. All I hope for is for them to be a little less humanoid (basically, I hope it's not just their faces and skin that looks reptilian, their bodies should too).

Here's a quote from one of my threads.

http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4044/4256593738_85e3feca2d.jpg: One of the most interesting races in Tamriel, this creature also has boat loads of potential to be awesome in Skyrim. Simply reading about the anatomy of these swamp critters can get your blood pumping. They are known for their various amphibian traits including gills that allow them to breathe underwater and fins that sprout from their heads but one would wonder... how well would an Argonian fare in a place that is cold and near inhospitable to their race? I suspect major differences from the Argonians of Oblivion and Morrowind such as sturdy tails, thicker skin, and more of a dinosaur-like appearance similiar to http://honolulu.hawaii.edu/dinos/rex_head_large.gif rather than that of a lizard. But if I'm wrong, please oh please make the swimming animations exceedingly different from the other races. I'd like to see my Argonian clasp his arms at his sides and propel himself with his tail instead of a lame briaststroke (which is ok for everyone else). Again, as a beast race they should have noticably different feet. Something along the lines of http://cdn2.arkive.org/media/AC/AC8340AE-D715-4BDF-B0A0-76D6CCC5D3F5/Presentation.Large/Komodo-dragon-claws.jpg would suit them fine.

Right now, all we have is the http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2011/027/5/5/skyrim__s_argonian_drawing_by_xxxbanditxxx-d383uyh.png to go by. Luckily for you, I have an old comparison at the ready -> http://i51.tinypic.com/2d1okg6.jpg

Out of Daggerfall, Morrowind and Oblivion, I like how Argonians look in Oblivion the most. More of the same in Skyrim (but better) would be nice.

That's a good looking Argonian

Argonians and Khajit should not have underwear and no "non-mammal" mammaries like in Morrowind. The picture I posted is ideal to me. It is more beastly than Oblivion, but still more humanoid than Morrowind.

As you described them like more sturdy and Dinosaur looking Argonians, would.. be... AWESOME!!!
Edit: Also, the post you linked was really good

That is one badass lookin' argonian, i very much hope they look similar to this

I would be so unhappy if they looked like dinosaurs :flame:

» Mon Dec 13, 2010 3:15 pm

I personally prefer the body structure of morrowind (with better movement animations, In morrowind they looked more like the were skating than actually walking). But I would also like for them to have all of the different skin colors that they did in oblivion. basically, morrowind bodies & oblivion skin colors.

This would be perfect, except the scales on the head look too much like armor, like some depictions of dragon heads. I'd prefer it if they were more saurian than draconic.

No thanks. I would hate for them to look like Oblivion's Argonians again.

» Mon Dec 13, 2010 5:53 pm

well I don't want them to look like humans with lizard texture on their bodies

» Mon Dec 13, 2010 4:42 pm

I do agree that Oblivion's Argonians definitely needed some work. The bodies were too humanoid. I hope they do make Argonians more bestial and intimidating than those of Oblivion, I just think the dinosaur look would be weird and unfitting.

Edit: Also, their snouts should be longer.

» Mon Dec 13, 2010 6:44 pm

Make slight alterations to the Oblivion body frame. That would be fine for me.

» Mon Dec 13, 2010 5:14 pm

i hope like the scum of the world they are =P

but from the other character models shown thus far, i trust that the argonians will look good

After seeing this: http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2011/027/5/5/skyrim__s_argonian_drawing_by_xxxbanditxxx-d383uyh.png ... it kind of reminded me of a Bearded Dragon lizard: http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://static.freewebphoto.com/wild-animals/free-photo/AAAAAA-ADFMA3-QLGCH8-AFNLC6-EQ9JAD-N8QD27-44H2MA/bearded-dragon.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.freewebphoto.com/photos/1007/25/bearded-dragon.html&usg=__TDAPzpRSsYjlRJ2__Og_NiPYczc=&h=317&w=468&sz=52&hl=en&start=20&sig2=N7fuWpHY_Mamu7YexdZbkA&zoom=1&tbnid=jyvVn7h5L93MEM:&tbnh=165&tbnw=228&ei=RHnUTeD2IY3ysgaO2_3lAg&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dbearded%2Bdragon%2Blizard%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26rlz%3D1G1GGLQ_ENUS333%26biw%3D1280%26bih%3D857%26tbm%3Disch0%2C798&um=1&itbs=1&iact=rc&dur=381&sqi=2&page=2&ndsp=20&ved=1t:429,r:15,s:20&tx=109&ty=69&biw=1280&bih=857

Just, you know, longer/less spikes and more of a lower jaw.

I think that would be quite awesome.

I really liked the Oblivion Argonians... but considering thier abilities (water breathing guys...) they need to decide... froglike, or crocodile/alligator like!? In Oblivion, it was like they were caught between a lizard and a green tree frog. I want something humanoid, but more to the face of a gator or a dragon-like build
