Well, sadly Skyrim-Team didn't want a Snow-Khajiit race for the project, but I made it nonetheless for myself and those who don't care that much about lorefriendlyness!!!

I reworked better beast bodies, repaired some mesh issues and renewed all the UV-maps for a much better resolution of the textures. Though I'm not sure about something, which is: I found some single faces inside the legs, not connected to the body at all. I've deleted it, but some hours later thinking about it again, I came up with the suspicion that it might have been necessary for the bodyslots, can somebody put some light on this???

The race isn't yet finished, I've just started last evening, but it will be comming soon...

Very impressive work on the teeth. I think the ears look a little too 'cuddly', more like a teddy-bear then a Sabre-Tooth tiger.

Excellent work my friend! (there is a snow-leopard race in Kinscavion) so at some point in the future I might have a place for them, if I may =)

As for the BBB bodies the faces might be there to make sure that the edges of normals look like they should. I'm no expert tho.

Even if we have no use for a new race in a provience mod, it looks damned good. Excellent work, mate :goodjob:

again an amazing work like usually :bowdown:

You always got something going on, eh.

yay, very nice TDW :goodjob:

I agree with Krovosos, the ears doesn't match with the angry look, maybe they should look a bit more furry like http://www.nhm-wien.ac.at/Content.Node/wissenswertes/Schritt%204.jpg... :shrug:

Woah, reminds me of happy tree friends. So ferocious.

You've made my day! I look forward to seeing the female heads as well.

I will fix those things you guys mentioned, my german forum people told me the same, so I better believe it, lol!!! I'll watch the movie 10.000 B.C. again, they had some nice exemplars of that species in there!!!

Just coming back from my first ingame tests with the new race. Sadly I'll have to fix some issues on the new BBB I made, before I can show it. This is the old one you see on the screens. Well, as I stepped outside the census and excise office in Seyda Neen, people did give me some kind of look, telling me that this is not the right place to hang around. So I went to Khuul and took the next ferry to Solstheim, cause that was the region comming closest to my home turf in Skyrim!!!

What shall I say, Solstheim creatures weren't amused at all about my presence there. First I met a pack of wolf and after I had talked to their leader to find some peacefull solution without success, it came to the first fight:

I have to admit I was still a bit tired due to the long jorney, on which I had also become seasick, but somehow I managed the situation!!!

Looking for a place to stay for the night, my path led me across a giant frozen lake, which's icy surface emitted some mysterious light in one area. I spend some time inspecting the ground, but didn't find anything suspicious. The more I traveled up north, the more snowy and barren the land became. Felt somewhat like home for me now and I decided to stay in that place til the next morning.

But all of a sudden there was that croaky voice behind my back. I grabbed my sword and turned around. And there it stood, an ugly migdget creature letting of a smell, I'm tellin' ya!!!

Well, this creature didn't hesitate and pointed his weapon at me trying to sell me to leave his hood at once and before he charged me 50 pieces of gold for having killed some filthy beasts in his hunting grounds. Long story told short, he got what he deserved!!!

After having turned the place into a bloody mess, I decided to travel on for some further miles and finaly lay my head to sleep. I made my camp at some stony bridge beside a small river and spotted moon and stars, as I suddenly was surrounded by a group of North. Their angry faces told me, that they had not come to share some stories, sitting next to the fire with me.

The leader came up to me and said: "Hey you, catthing with that long fangs, you know this is Solstheim and we don't like guys like you hanging around here!!!"

I asked him what I had done wrong, I was just sitting at the campfire and...

But he interrupted me and shouted at me:"YOU AIN'T A LOREFRIENDLY CREATURE GET THE **** OUTTA HERE!!!"

What should I say, best take a look at the pictures and see what happened then...

TheDaywalker :rock:

Don't if you care or not, but only domesticated cats and a very few small wild cat species have slit pupils. :shrug: Doesn't really matter for a fantasy creature, I suppose.

It's got some epic potential. make it meaner looking. Just an idea.

Yeah, those round ears make it look more like a giant, evil rat than a cat of any kind. It's like Splinter took steroids.

Do Snow-Khajiit have different attributes to Khajiit?
Something like a base frost resistance?

Those Glowmapped eyes are awesome! If it helps, I've gotten various images/drawings of Saber-Toothed tigers:

None of them actually match the color scheme though, but these are for reference of the head and ears. Great job so far

Hell yes. Great work!

Thx for the input guys, I'll work on the creature again and make it look more realistic!!!

@Alaisiagae: I'll try some normal eyes on the creature and see, what's looking best!!!!


TheDaywalker :rock:

Looks pretty cool. It would be neat to see a mod adding them to the world one day - rather than just as a playable character that is.

Yeah, that would be cool, but I've more than enough projects going on at the moment, so this would be up to someone else to do!!!

Here's an update of the head, changed ears and eyes. I have to detail the inside of the ears though!!!

TheDaywalker :rock:

Even sans detail, it is a definite improvement. There will be non-angry versions for those of us who like to play nice people, I hope? :angel:

You want a more friendly version, ok, here you go!!!

TheDaywalker :rock:

lol Not sure that's what I had in mind...for my PC. I could actually seriously see using that as a companion, though.

TheDaywalker you're f*****g awesome!! Keep up. Your mods are great and im waiting for release.
