For my next art project, I was looking to do something from Oblivion either in shading or colored pencils. Does anyone know any good pictures I could do?

I was looking for something more involviong a character. I was thinking maybe the Argonian Concept Art.

Run around with your screenshot gun ready. Sunset from the Anvil docks. Waterfalls at either Black Rock Caverns or Barren Cave. The White Tower looking from the norths up towards Bruma.

Here is a link by a player who does exactly that. I would ask him of course before you used any of for more than just personal use. http://s187.photobucket.com/albums/x274/halo3cluefinder/Oblivion/?start=0

Make sure to use magic!

How about an Argonian standing in front of an Oblivion Gate. Maybe ith some Daedra in the Background.

I'd do a portrait of a tired legionnaire, so that you could see the wear on his face and in his eyes. And I'd have maybe an Oblivion gate for natural lighting (you could use reflections in his eyes to show he's near a gate.) Those bright red and yellows would clash well with his drab armor colors. And maybe smoke for the background. You don't want to do too much in a portrait because it will detract from the character.

Or you could do (I think would be really neat) like a native argonian, lightly armored, maybe a spear in hand, wading through the swamplands or Argonia? Maybe make the argonian like a red or orange, and then use a lot of greens and blues for the environment, which would really make the character really stand out as the focal point of the coloring.

Oh btw, I'm definitely suggesting you use colored pencils if you haven't noticed lol.

Have you tried prowling around on The Imperial Library website? You might take a look at some of the Morrowind concept art, too. Morrowind really had much better fantasy art than Oblvion imo. Better Argonians, too. (Although if humans learned to stand up straight I see no reason why "beast-folk" should waddle.)

Since this is dead and I need some more Ideas, Ill raise the question again. Does anyone know or have any good pictures from oblivion I could do for art class? I need an actual picture here to model from.

I opened a thread like this in the Oblivion forums but it wasn't getting any views. I was wondering if anyone had an idea for a picture I could do for art class. (TES of course, and I also need a picture to model from)

Since you need a picture to model from, you could create your own version of the semi-famous http://www.imperial-library.info/obscure_text/fallofaldruhn.shtml sketch MK did.

Well by no means any offense to MK, but I need a picture of slightly higher quality.

Ah well. I'd have figured a sketch is easily enough to draw inspiration from.

Though the sketch gives you far more leeway for creative license (along with being the original kickass source).

Well it's not the fact I need inspiration, It's that I need a picture for which I can grid and actually replocate.

Edit: Also, in the Fall of Ald'Ruhn picture, the guard in the lower right would be cool to do. With the armor, the spear and the draqed robes, a close up of something like that would suffice.

I was about to post the colored version

What medium would I do that in?

Didn't the link in Acadian's post give you enough ideas?

Well, first off, I need a picture to replocate. And secondly, I would like to do something that involves a character.

Since your looking for an argonian thing why don't you do a of an Argonian in Anvil with the dock and ocean in the background. Or a pic of argonian slaves.

I don't have the resources to make a picture of thoses standards. haha

Ah, well that certainly explains why a sketch wouldn't do.
If I think of anything, I'll let ya know.

Thanks. :foodndrink:

I don't have any Argonians, but I do have some screenies of my char. Nothing fancy at all, but may or may not be of interest:

Just some family photos of Buffy the Bowgirl:

How about drawing Uriel Septim or Martin "lost" in an oblivion landscape? If they wear the emperor robes, the purple will be a great contrast to all the red.
