I think you′re really good at re-creating real-life people in this game, urrl. Great work!

urrl: Mooch is the one wearing the Santa hat. She’s the number one companion of the player character, Baa. And Lacie wears the eye patch because “Mooch poked her eye out with her thumb in a fit of jealous rage” when she challenged Mooch’s number one position a couple of years ago. Now they more or less get along, but there is an underlying tension between the two. Both are two of the best fighters around.

Very interesting back story tmar
Thanks mirocu !
I once dabbled in re-texturing. Here is some armor I re-textured quite a while ago.

All of the festivity is contagious, it seems. Who would expect a Vampire to...REALLY?

The Arborwatch party winds down, and some outtakes.

[Info: A save was made before all of this started. After the party was over the game was reverted to that save so that the girls would automatically go back to the status quo ante-party with their proper clothes and weapons. (Ho Ho Ho. My Latin is a bit (very) rusty. I’m not sure if that is correct, or if it should be status quo party or status anti-party.) The only posed pic was the group shot. The girl’s AI did the rest, along with some spells for the dancing.]
Such a grand event Baa and Mooch threw! It has certainly been a blast following it And now they go back to their respective homes with hangovers and memories
Party′s over
....for now
Baa runs most everywhere she goes, but here she walked all the way from Chorrol to Talos Plaza with no running. That’s a first for her. Some screenshots made along the way:

I quite like these pure scenics. They are well composed.
Awesome scenery tmar. Are you using any mods for that?
Some of Raven (early version)

She′s really cute! And for some reason I like this pic very much
Thanks. Spent some time today on her detailing her facial texture and skin color tone.

What a shoot. First I didn't get the first image(which I had to reload a save to get), and then I have to go through the big fight three times(the last mostly because in the second, a few placed items were a bit off). Also, likely spoilers for Mannimarco Revisited in these.

mirocu: Don’t know about another party yet. Baa and Mooch are still trying to get their eyesight back in sync. However, there have been rumors that Ody’s gone nuts again and has some fireworks coming up in that other place on New Year’s Eve.
Thanks, Decrepit. I forget to make regular scenic stuff unless the IC is in view or maybe the autumn leaves up along the Orange. Converging verticals drive me nuts and I don’t like to stop and get out the flying camera to fix things, so Baa climbs up on something or jumps straight up with her high Acrobatics to get things more parallel.
urrl: Raven (CM2) lives in my character’s house in Cheydinhal. She’s eye candy and I don’t let her fight. She’s been in Baa’s game almost four years I think. Thanks for the mod.
As for my scenic shots, the only mods that do anything there are RAEVWD (distant ruins and stuff) and AWLS (lights and smoke). Everything else scenic is vanilla except for an ini change to reduce the grass density. All the game settings are at max. I did punch the sharpen button in PS on some of those shots, then layered that back with the unsharpened image and removed whatever sharp I didn’t like. I get tired of my fuzzy screenshots.
MaxusCorven: Interesting looking staff.

These images form an interesting contrast with your "party" shots. In those, everyone was "dolled up" except Baa. In these, Baa is "dolled up" while the rest of the gang are in armor.
I too sharpen many of my posted images. In my case, using a great many hi-res textures as I do, the views as captured are sufficiently sharp. But...all my posted images undergo size reduction. That, and conversion to jpg, sometimes reduces sharpness. I use Paint.NET's sharpness filter at one of its two lowest settings to combat added blurring. Likewise, my captures sometimes seem duller than what I remember seeing on-screen when the views were shot. In this case I monkey with Paint.NET's "Levels Adjustment" (but NOT auto level) until an image is as vibrant as what I recall in-game.
-Decrepit-
Given that Alysha is taking a bit of a break, and Lithium is doing the same, I have been wanting to start a new character for some time. Well, finally put together someone who I think might work.
http://i.imgur.com/4xuFiQW.png
Pretty much a pure mage(seriously, Mage Birthsign and the Mage class - though he might be using bows and perhaps daggers or shortswords a bit), although with a perhaps unhealthy obession with Necromancy...but that might be obvious. All I might need for the character now is a good mod that brings a point to Necromancy in the game(as in being able to perform it, beyond Conjuration and such), and perhaps with some interesting quests too.
Decrepit: The real Baa didn’t even get to be in any of the party pics as she was behind the camera. The Baa in the pics was Baa the Companion, an exact duplicate, image wise except for blue vs. brown eyes, of Baa. Baa is an eye magnet and has to keep her distance to get any kind of decent shot. Baa the C is one of them so she blends in with the rest. That’s why the real Baa went and bought herself a fancy new dress and paraded around town, just to get her mug posted here.
I know what you mean about the screenshots. I sometimes spend way to much time in PS trying to fix fuzzies, or jaggies, or bad lighting, or something.
MaxusCorven: I used to start a new character every few weeks just so I could play through the tutorial again, then I didn't even save them. I’ve never played a mage. Maybe someday.

Is it a mistake that drives one into such darkness? For the unwary, perhaps. But for one who has already faced his death, his disgrace, his near complete loss of self...such a thing is not a mistake. The name and the face fades from memory, leaving only the act. With this, there is a cold touch on the shoulder, of a freezing embrace, but the feeling is yet warming.
