[WIPz] Ayem - an Almalexia tattoo mod

Post » Tue Sep 17, 2013 12:19 pm

So I got bored and made Almalexia's tattoos for Skyrim. Will be used through RaceMenu/Overlay.

Please see here for screenshots:

I tried to stay as close as possible to the concept art, but Plangkye's tattoos were immensely helpful as a reference.

This is the first warpaint and body tattoo I've ever attempted. The screenshots include close-up images of the tattoos, so if you have a discerning eye, please lend me some feedback.

Don't know when I plan to release this. Could be tempted to make "more" out of this, including, but not limited to, a companion. I also made Almalexia's circlet. It went okay. Anyone wanting to help feel free to PM me.

:blink: Rogue_Shadow?! I didn't know you were still alive!! Great to see you're working on Skyrim stuff; I don't think I've talked to you since we were still active in Morrowind modding.

Anyway, to stay on topic, I'm loving the looks of these so far. RaceMenu's overlay system is great for this sort of thing, so it's good that you figured out how to take advantage of it.

I think your tattoos look great Rogue_Shadow. I think there is roleplay potential in this (a character who idolizes Almalexia to the point of getting the same tats, ect). Nice work! I look forward to trying this out.

By the way, is anybody else getting a "503 - Service Unavailable" message on the Imageshack link, or is it just me?

HEY! Haha, yeah, I'm alive and well. You been good?

Thanks for the feedback - RaceMenu has made this a lot easier to pull off, definitely. Now if only I could tame those damn cheeckbones for the warpaint.

Thanks! It seems tonight is the night for familiar names :) I had no honest direction with the tattoos; I was just looking for a mountain to climb, as it were. Tossed around some ideas about Almalexia being trapped in a soul gem and our intrepid hero stumbles along as releases her into some form of forced servitude. But that sounds like work.

If imgur continues to be buggy, please let me know and I'll find an alternate hosting solution.

Absolutely! I've learned a lot since the days of my youth. :tongue: Looking forward to seeing more of your work.
