Yes, those are some beautiful paintings. How clever!


I don't see a waffle iron anywhere in the Emperor's death picture, so it looks like you and I are still playing the same game.

Very cool cell-shading to make the 'paintings'!

Thanks all!

More Colla Gius' paintings from the 3rd Era:

In the Black Rook

Not all rumors are to be believed but apparently Oberon wasn't satisfied with how he looks like in this painting and demanded for Colla Gius to paint another one, this time in the company of a woman.

Rosana and Oberon

But when he saw this one, he forbade Colla Gius to paint another one of his face because he looked like an Ogre.

So to avoid further complications, Colla Gius painted Meeting in the garden from above...

...and At the Sea from a slightly larger distance.

I have to say, I don´t get it. Who is making these paintings (for real)?

I should try and acquire artwork reflecting my avatars various adventures. Only, I'm not sure I have access to . . . uuuummmmm . . . an artist of acceptable caliber.

As for what I do have, here we see my decrepit avatar and his ward supping at the Wawnet following their return from Cheydinhal. They are joined by a fellow Weyenite. The Inn's resident bard sits ignored in the background.

Lopov, what a fun treatment you're giving these pictures. As I've said, very creative!

Decrepit, always a quiet joy to see your Decrepit Champion enjoying a relaxing meal with Lady Vilja.

Neat to see more paintings of Obe!

And it is always cool to see the Decrepit avatar stepping out with Vilja!

Lopov, I love the paintings from The Adventures of the Champion of Cyrodiil! The Prisoner is my favorite. At The Sea is a close second. What a creative idea, beautifully done.

Decrepit, it’s always a pleasure to see your Decrepit avatar relaxing in the evening with Vilja.

Thanks all!

@mirocu - these are ordinary screenshots, altered to look like paintings.

The following paintings present Oberon passing Fort Ash on way to the Weynon Priory and subsequent meeting with Grandmaster of the Blades who at first didn't pay any attention to Oberon, as presented in the second painting. By Oberon's wishes, latter paintings were dedicated to Brandy the horse, the first one showing them leaving the priory, the second one showing them passing through the Colovian Highlands and the last one showing them as they spot Kvatch for the first time. Those with keen eyes will also notice that in the first painting Oberon is still wearing common shoes but in other paintings he already wears leather boots, taken from Jauffre's supplies.

I think the pics have kind of a Walking Dead feel to them

More paintings! Fort Ash looks great. And the one with Jauffre looks like a real painting. So does horse and rider.

I bet Kvatch looks better in the fog than it will once Obe gets up close!

I like regular screenshots, but these make for a wonderful moody change. They fit Oberon's tale well, as he and Brandy make their way to Kvatch.

Thanks all! I think that screenshots altered to look like paintings fit better with Oberon's tale in the parallel thread. I might switch to normal screenies at some point but not yet, I like paintings more for now.

Waiting for some friends to arrive for the party to begin, I'm browsing through very first pages of this thread and came upon some really stunning pics like this one:

Easily one of my fav Buffy shots!

Moving on to Buffy's friend from Bruma...
BTW, mirocu, you often say that you're running out of pics for the Where am I thread? but I've seen at least dozen which I don't have a clue about where were they taken.

And now to my personal winner from the Hot/Not contest which Renee hosted at Beth a few years ago:
She still wins for me.

Poor Maxical got hit

These are just a few, there's a whole lot of other amazing pics in that thread, I only made it through the first few pages.

Well, I have in fact used that particular pic although it was a great while ago

I remember this one but there are a bunch of wilderness ones and I also recall one where he's in some shack with some woman and I have no clue where it is.

I can´t use the wilderness pics because even I don´t know where they are taken

That'd be great for another thread "Help me find out Where I am".

What a fun walk down memory lane featuring some fave characters!

Those is a nice segue down memory lane for sure! Look at Buffy way up high. Yikes.


This happens to be all the time with Saga and RG3; I've got lots of pics of them in wilderness but I haven't a clue where they are

The following paintings present Oberon joining the Kvatch guard, led by courageous Savlian Matius, in the battle outside of the ruined town, his subsequent venture to the portal of Oblivion and eventually closing the gate by removing the Sigil Stone, and a final battle for liberation of Kvatch. Last two paintings present Oberon meeting Martin for the first time. The second one was painted by Oberon's order and while Colla Gius titled it "Martin Septim", Oberon commonly referred to it as "The true Champion of Cyrodiil".

Oberon is at first wearing the same outfit as in previous series but later on he wears a full Kvatch cuirass with matching chainmail greaves and boots.

It is worth mentioning that as a reward for liberating Kvatch he got another cuirass from Savlian Matius, enchanted with fortifying wearer's endurance and strength. Since Oberon wears the cuirass before Kvatch was liberated, it is assumed that he acquired it from one of the fallen soldiers and was thus unenchanted. Whether he wears an enchanted or a regular one in the painting with Martin, is not known, since Oberon himself forgot about it, saying that "it doesn't matter in the end, since both of them look the same".
