Carapace added to my vision of Numidium.
Obviously it looks like a clusterfuck because it's layers on top of each other but now time to clean up the layers and add color, then do other other sides of the t-pose and model this guy.
>>
>>47851584
Thing is that Azura's motive for plotting to kill Tribunal is just petty revenge for betraying her and killing Nerevarine. She really isn't that different from other Daedra. The way she talks to player (in Morrowind) is also very egotistical, bitter and generally bitchy. Ironically she seems very much like Almalexia despite Almalexia not being her anticipation, but rather Sotha Sil that is completely different than Azura.

Also, note that the curse is not necessary Azura's doing. It could well be just side effect on Tribunal fucking with heart. Azura took the blame, but it's not clear that she did it and to be honest it's unlikely she would have such powers on Mundus especially in a time when most of the Towers were active.

It looks pretty much as I would picture Numidium myself, except that I would have it's face to be more Dwemer-like with beard and all. It's a nice compromise with portrayals of daggerfall (spiky fleshy/stoney thing) and brass golem style of later games.
>>
>>47852232
It's not visible now because of no coloring and clusterfuck of layers but he has a giant beard that is made up of three joints attached to his chin and colored carapace on these joints.

Thanks, by the way Divine metaphysics always felt like a bit of a fuck up to me.
It's a dwemer text, but the illustration in it is concept art of Akulakhan drawn by MK, even if I didn't have all the concept art collected I would notice it because this portrayal of Numidium is broken in the same way and unfinished in the same way Akulakhan is.

Afaik Akulakhan is pretty much direct copy of the original (it even has Dwemer face, but interestingly, there is some odd connection with Dwemer and Dagoths, possibly has something to do with both being heavy on nihilism), so it doesn't seem that out of place to me. It's a bit ridiculous how both of them are in similar state of construction though.

Though I recall that instead of transmuting souls, the flesh of Akulachan was created out of corprus, but I don't think there were other changes to design.

gonna copy paste this from a few threads back


Do you milk drinkers know about motherfucking YSGRAMOR?

Ebony is the blood of lorkhan. Ysgramor cried ebony tears after the falmer raided Saarthal. Ysgramor is a shezarrine. His tears were used to forge Wuuthrad, which makes it a lorkhanic artifact. It's also enchanted by Ahzidal.

Look at his statue and how he holds Wuuthrad. You can also find his shield in his tomb, which looks hilariously oversized on the player character. The player can't use both his axe and his shield because the axe is two-handed and huge. Ysgramor's statue is life-size, and he was able to use both Wuuthrad and his shield.

According to ''Fragmentae Abyssum Hermaeus Morus'', Ysgramor was nearly turned into an elf by Hermaeus Mora, who took the shape of a hare, but a fox (Shor) saves him, and warns him about elven trickery. This was in Atmora, before Ysgramor had met any elves at all. Shor destined him to go on elf killing sprees before he even knew what they were.

I wish we had more info on this guy, especially about his meetings with Hermaeus Mora.

Veiled behind his mask of snow,
Which dragons breathed of silver stone,
Calling dead from depths below,
The Crow Thane in his Hall of Bone.

Men thrown to the White Wyrm's maw,
Women, bairns of Winter's Hold,
Spoke he oaths to dragons' law,
Woke he lord of wights and mold.

Wails and tears the wine-wives pine,
For warriors left in blood to drown,
Comes the son of Ysgrim's line,
A young boy in a Jagged Crown.

Nordmen gathering to his calls,
Bearing spears and axes long,
Kin avenging ravaged halls,
Bold and desperate their throng.

Strong are the draugrs' monstrous blows,
Striking skulls of fyrd-men red,
Hundreds lost unto the snows,
Hundreds for the hungering dead.

Ascending arch of jokull-snow,
On sleigh of spruce by mammoth drawn,
Arrows broken on his brow,
No blow may pierce the Jagged Crown.

Charging men in freezing mail,
Ripping rotting flesh and bone,
Harsh the Crow Thane's cursing wail:
The White Wyrm shall break Ysgrim's Throne.

Rending rebel heart and lung,
Of Crow Thane to his tomb hurled down,
Round his neck he wears the tongue,
The warrior of the Jagged Crown.

Feasting warms the ancient walls,
Of valiant men returning home,
The dead released to Sovngarde's halls,
No longer damned the white to roam.

Roaring sea of deathly hail,
Tearing at Old Windhelm's stone,
Falls the dragon's boasting wail:
The White Wyrm shall break Ysgrim's Throne.

Grey the Crow Thane's snowy veil,
By dragons forged of whispers lost,
Reshaped into a spear of pale,
By the Storm Voice, blood and frost.

White Wyrm's wings in shadowed flight,
Whispering death to lands beneath,
Halls and steads engulfed in night,
Armies shattered in his breath.

Maw unleashing razor snow,
Of dragons from the blue brought down,
Births the walking winter's woe,
The High King in his Jagged Crown.

Sharp the White Wyrm's howling song,
Splits the High King's bones and mail,
Breathing life through torc of tongue,
The spear of fate strikes dragon's scale.

By spear and shout, the dragon's pain,
Breaking scale with singing tone,
The White Wyrm at long last, now slain,
And it could not break Ysgrim's Throne.

By judgment born of war and woe,
The proudest clans and thanes kneel down,
To spear and tongue and breath of snow,
The High King in his Jagged Crown.

Azura cursing the Chimer is integral to their development as a society. It doesn't matter how she intended it at that point.

Usually Dumac isn't a part of it, or is an alternate theory, but depending on the conspiracy is goes something like Arkay and Trinimac are Malacath by way of Orkey, or the Dwemer were transformed into the Orsimer making Dumac Malacath.

Oh, you're one of THOSE people...

I'm sorry that bears and spiders and dragons are generic as fuck, what we should have done is given them the lower body of a centipede and bat wings. That would be so creative, it would make for a decent setting after all.

Because we all know the only thing that was any good about Morrowind is that it had dinosaurs, while everything like the world building and detail simply distract from the fact that there are big mushrooms. Let's make everything "Creative" by making every creature a chimera. How do you propose we "fix" dragons? Make them half walrus?

I'm aware what Aka-tusk is, what I'm saying is that dragons in TES are far more interesting than dragons in other settings, and the things you want to "fix" are just superficial.

A deep setting isn't about having Dwarves made from fire, it's a setting that can explain and integrate the fire-dwarves in an interesting way, instead of saying "Look mom, I made something whacky!"

4. Give the tusks an ugly texture

Have you ever considered that it wasn't a good idea, or that people are fine with dragons that look like dragons because they're interesting enough without having 5 wings?

Maybe if they are faggots without an ounce of imagination. Look at Morrowind's main enemies. Fucking look. Then look at Skyrim's oversized lizards. Even Oblivion did it better.

I would love them having tusks as a symbol of power and feathered wings to reinforce the connection to Auri-El.

Don't take their depiction in Skyrim too literally.

Even then, to the Altmer they do have feathers, and to the Khajiit they are cats, to the Imperials they are tigers (maybe) and yes, even some of them have tusks.

It would have been better if they had tusks in Skyrim. But just because they didn't doesn't mean the concept is wrong, in the same way that the cities would have more than a dozen citizens.

There are dragons with tusks in the Dragonborn expansion and a dracolich in the Dawnguard expansion.

Yeah, I keep getting confused with someone else.

I never said dragons in Skyrim should have tusks, but I do agree that they should.

There's zero evidence for why they shouldn't, and some slim evidence establishing a precedence.

The tiger/dragon thing is just an aside linked to the "bat tiger" (bat+tiger=dragon) and how the appearances of dragons differ in a variety of locations (that tend to be about tigers).

Okay here's an explanation involving DEEP LORE.

So far, only three player characters have seen the dragons:

1) the HoonDing
2) Sheogorath
3) Ysmir

In all cases, these are heroic figures who shape fate.

The tusks are the symbol of time(Aka). The dragons are part time, the heroes are part of time, ordinary people are not, however. Anyone who isn't a god or dragonborn sees dragons as having tusks, because from their cosmic perspective the dragons have them. Anyone who already draws power from Aka-Tusk, however, has 16-dimensional tusks of his own on the aetheric plane and so from his perspective is equally matched from the dragon, both are cosmic beings, both are tusks already and so neither perceive the tusks of the other.

tl;dr dragons have tusks but people mantling gods can't see them because they are them

it's more of a metaphorical thing, and different for everyone

the dragonborn has tusks on his helmet (or as most people would call it, 'horns'), cyrus has a big brown tusk in his pants
