Just a question/suggestion for the Valkyries.
Is there any way to give them wider hips? They look too boyish with those slim hips. It would be nice to see some real old-fashion female curves on them, make them look a bit more like a classic woman warrior.

Would that I could, but the meshes are all BB related (as such, I would not only have to alter
the body, but the clothes/armour as well) . However, looking at Dirnae's animation alteration
thread, it might be possibe to buikld such on an animation that has been altered (as the clothes
would morph to fit the alteration rather than needing to modify each and every mesh). This would
also be ideal for the Ice Giants (as they would do with a bit more bulk in the shoulder and arm areas ).

*waves at Dirnae... :wave:

Exactly what I was thinking.
But they look great anyways, they just need some sandwiches, lol.

Green? where exactly is this green? I can't see colors very well, so it's probably my eyes, not your textures

It's the valkyrie (or her armour, at least) that is green, not her wolf.

Aaaah! That wolf is AWESOME!!!! :drool: :drool: :drool: Any chance there will be more wolves like it in different colors?! Id love to see this ultra gorgeous beast as a replacer of original wolves, it looks sooooo much better and "wolfier" than vanilla ones! But even if not its still soooo awesome! *Naty ish in love with wolfie*

I will definitely be using your wolf as a replacer for the originals. A few modified textures, a couple changed file names, and presto!

Oh no, Spot will be so jealous and I can't blame him, Sigr?n's Wolf is simply gorgeous!

A wolf replacer would give me a good reason to go freeze up there in Solstheim.

Indeed, the "armour" of the Valkyrie will be green (and her body markings will be a
black "camoflauge" of sorts). I just finished her wolf first as I needed to take a break
from people (if only for a moment). There are three Valkyrie types (so far); Blue (Brynhildr),
Green (Sigr?n), and Red (G?ndul). I will finish up Sigr?n later this afternoon/evening and
post a few screens .





Well, the new wolf does not have all of the wonderful head animations that the originals do
(no snarl), so I had not planned on doing a true replacer (so additional creatures seemed best).
However, I could make a replacer in different colours for those that do not mind the missing head
animations in full :twirl: , That, though, is another mod entirely (so one thing at a time, enh )?

Well, gotta make a batch of coffee and start my day ('sgonna be a hot one :flame: )

That wolf is gorgeous as always. Reminds me of a picture I have in my house, actually.

'Til Later, All :wave:

a Frost Giant is one of the thing I want to do next

about the Valkyrie, could you make them as new race and enlarge them as race?

Ultimately, I like having the Valkyrie as a creature (as it allows me greater
freedom of customization without having to make three separate races; such
would be needed to accomdate the different skins with markings). There is also
the bonus of soultrapping with creatures (which many like to have such an option).
Although, I am sure I will probably make them a race eventually (as with most of the
humanoid creatures in this mod).

I have G?ndul left to do (out of the sisters three), then I will move on and make the
Ice Giants (I hesitate the call them Frost Giants, due to one already living on Solstheim;
drastically different styles there, indeed). For the Valkyries, though, it would be fantastic
to have them involded in a quest where they are set up as "boss" encounters at various
stages (perhaps in the service of Kyne; they could bar the players way in a quest to
retrieve something that would solve some sort of conflict [like a sickness among the
Skaal or retrieving a weapon that can only defeat a greater enemy]). Encountering
them would be a kind of rite of approval/test to see if the player has all of the necessary
qualities and be deemed worthy to use such an item .

Anyway, a storm is brewing here, so I really need to end my
rambling (as the power could blink off at any minute :shocking: ) .

Take Care :angel:

creatures??

mmm.....

previously, in this mod you showed horses....

now Valkyrie....

horses + valkyrie....

do anyone think what I am hinking of? :ph34r:

I suppose I'm thinking the same thing as you are thinking, although I think I shouldn't think the same thing as other people think but I think it's okay for once to think the same thing as other people think. :nuke:

Valkyrie on horses would have to be a completely different model, of course (and perhaps a
fourth "sister" in the process). I know lidicus has made some fantastic mounted
creatures, so I could give those a look/ask lidicus very nicely if such can be cobbled
with a certain amount of ease; a spear wielder on horse back would be very nice indeed.

*wanders away to ponder the possibilities while munching on a "salad sandwich" ...

I like her. She has sort of a Celtic feel without completely losing the Nordic feel...and the Nords do seem to be a blend of the Celts, Anglo-Saxons, and Norse.

And, for extra fun, I made posters/pin-ups of the Valkyrie:

'Til Later :wave:

Wow! I like those posters! Really cool. ^^

The wolves work just fine in game, Westly; I didn't get any animation errors or anything of the like.

Great to hear !
I just need to make a Red Wolf (which, after a bit of research, I found out
that it is a Wolf/Coyote hybrid), then I can release a Bloodmoon Wolf replacer .

Now if someone would make a wolf-riding mod... :bolt:
