Markarth

Skyrim and in fact most of elderscrolls conceptart is quite amateurish. I've seen this type of work coming from college students and selftaught artists.

The layout is the same but not the aesthetics. This is a Nord city full of SOUL. The in-game city is a SOULLESS Dwarflet city

Best city is modded Winterhold

Except the scale is wrong, I think, it's been years.

The architecture was fantastic, they just dropped the ball with the furniture. All I could think of was how much everyone's back must hurt.

is this the thread for discussing LORE?

I WANT TES VI SO BADLY

What is amateurish about it?

it's bait

Lack of any contrast for one thing.

A stone city built around Dwemer architecture has no right being this uncomfy.

It's a pass for me, I'd prefer living in the serial killer house in Racism Town

Be careful lad, the retard cries to the mods to ban you if you post his fat ass

I'm not surprised

Windhelm is comfy because of the racism

is a shithole where you're either the oppressed Reachmen getting dabbed on by Nords every day or a non Reachmen about to get Forworn'd

I'll give them props, it is a unique and nicely designed city

Skyrim "cities" have fewer people than a classroom. Why bother?

this. also there doesnt seem to be any commitment to the texture work. its all mostly soft brushes. it looks like scribbles. theres barely a differenece in detail between the foreground and background, lighting amounts to using sahdes instead of color which just makes everything seem greyish.

this is just three colors as if it was all made of the same exact material, and the level of detail is all over the place. some areas are minutely detailed while others are just blurry without any structure. the brush strokes seem rushed instead of calculated.

I mean it is only just concept art, you’re just really itching to use that art degree

compare this to pic related. same approach to rough sketchy texture, but better lighting, dynamic angle, detail strccture etc.

There is just one thing I'd like to ask you: do you realize that these come from a portfolio of hundreds of concept art created over development? Some are mood pieces, some are quick sketches, these were created for internal purposes, not for advertisements. These never would have been released had the artist not died.

>the level designers only have the concept art to go by
lol, no

the level designers only have the concept art to go by. if you get bad concept art, youll get bad models, case in point oblivion and skyrim.

You have a case for Oblivion as that game has no art direction to speak of, but Skyrim's is not bad at all

it doesnt matter that they werent realeased. if they are for internal use only it is still important that they be good. rough sketches can still be good. these arent. I know what mood pieces and key art are use for. these are bland and look like garbled crap.

Reachmen. Every time.

this is rough key art. cant remember what game its from, I think its from a failed one that didnt make it to development. But as I see it it could definetly fit in Skyrim or Oblivion. way better than a lot of the concept art. Anyway this was me just gushing about concept art because I have an interest in it. dont let my autism stop you from enjoying the game.

oh I found the source of the image, its from a cancelled Final Fantasy game that GRIN was making. maybe its a good thing it wasnt.

Ignore him. He’s giving the most basic bitch art critique a person can give and is derailing an otherwise comfy elder scrolls thread

This is my favorite city in Skyrim. I love the Reach too, just wish there was more to it than one billion Forsworn. Great aesthetics. It also has the comfiest house, when you walk out of it and see that view you feel like a comfy dwarven king.

SMOKE A BIG JUICE

not until 2027 retard. That'll be $79.99.

I enjoyed skyrim at the time, but after playing witcher 3 and having small town vilages that were larger then the biggest towns in skyrim, and then having cities of beauclair and novigrad that completly dwarfed everything else i wonder what they will do for the next elder scrolls.

Like Riften, it's hard to like a city that is so corrupt underneath
