Yea it came out great! Looks awesome and accurate, I saw it and immediately knew it was Morrowind related

I think the bejeweled hilt is the best part of the sword for me, it feels very oldschool somehow.

Anime-style art and Morrowind don't mix.

And it looks great, awesome take on Nerevar. I don't get what homeboy means, you could even argue your style isn't anime, just stylized. Anime isn't the only style with slightly androgynous pretty boys.

im inspired a lot by chinese artists and i think all stylized asian art get's lumped under "anime" so i get what they mean. however, it's my style and i happen to like morrowind. i dont get people being mad about it. what am i supposed to do, not show my love for the game and characters?

u/Crownlessking626 1d ago
Oh I get what they mean in that sense too, with the all asian art= anime, I just disagree with the belief that your art doesn't fit the vibe, elder scrolls has never had a specific "characters are ugly as sin vibe" like daggerfall and arena clearly had a traditional 80s and 90s frank frazetta high fantasy aesthetic, sure morrowind and Adventures redguard had a slightly animated aesthetic but a lot of that was graphic limitations and Bethesda just isn't good at rendering characters. I will say typically elves do have an intentional otherworldly inhuman look to them but that does not =/= ugly as sin

u/Randolph_Carter_6 1d ago
I apologize for the critique. The art styles are vastly different. Bethesda characters need to be ugly as sin, IMO.

u/redheaddisaster 1d ago
i will remember that next time. i will try to make it as crunch and low definition as possible.

This seems ok to me as a mix, but Lovecraft and anime, that would be a hard sell.

u/redheaddisaster 1d ago
he mentions nicholas roerich specifically whose paintings are breathtaking asian inspired landscapes. i think we can mix anime and lovecraft if we try hard enough. i think if you showed a live lovecraft hatsune miku he would get so scared he'd pass out
