Nice that Oberon has the extra protection of his nifty new mail armor.

Oblivion Gates really lend themselves to your 'painting' treatment!

I agree about the spider daedra - formidable foes indeed!

Wow. Okay, I just figured out what it is about these paintings. They look like comic book art! It's been bugging me for awhile now. They're like drawings we'd see in a comic book.

Can you ask Colla to paint a portrait of Oberon's face? Just his face and upper body, like a portrait painting?

@SubRosa - now the hills looks much more idyllic. Because there's no longer the menace... on the hill.

@Acadian - chainmaill cuirass is not just Oberon's but my favorite piece of light armor, I think it looks perfect. At that point his greaves were still unenchanted but he later made them resistant to magic.

@Renee - there's been a portrait of Oberon painted and published, I will re-post it here. That's the best possible portrait until now, there will be more in the future.

The following paintings represent Oberon's return to Bruma, a journey to Pale Pass and finding the Draconian Madstone in Fort Pale Pass.

Night Rider

Oberon and Narina Carvain

The Sentinel points the way

Third time lucky

The Pale Pass

The old path

Among the Undead

Katana meets Katana

Alive and Undead

The great find

As nice as these pics are, I can´t help but feel it would be nice to see them unaltered. At least the Bruma pic, that looked a bit non-vanilla...

Bruma is definitely non-vanilla since it's changed by Better Cities. I keep all "originals" in another folder so here they are:

Night Rider

Oberon and Narina Carvain

The Sentinel points the way

Third time lucky

The Pale Pass

The old path

Among the Undead

Katana meets Katana

Alive and Undead

The great find

Sorry for making you post the same pics twice, but thanks for doing it

Don't apologize Crow. I think it's neat seeing them painted and original, side by side.

The Pale Pass questings are great fun and very neat. Oberon looks great and I've been really enjoying following him. The paintings are super cool for novelty and effect, but I confess I liked the 'real' versions even better because of the clearer detail. It's all good though!

I decided to post screenshots as paintings until Oberon finishes the main quest, since they're supposed to represent a series of paintings. Afterwards I'll post regular screenshots. But if anyone'd like to see some painting as a real screenshot, feel free to ask and Lopov may grant your wish.

Original Colla Gius' titles of following paintings have been lost with years so only Oberon's unofficial titles remain.

"Cheers, Namira."

"Flyyyin'...flyyin' in the skyyyy...Brandy flys so high..."

"Don't just stand there, lizard!"

--

And here's one ordinary screenshot, taken when Oberon reached Level 10. It shows his non-painted face and some stats to go along.

Flyyinn So Hiiigh!

Brandy the flying horse!

Nasty Namira, meddlesome priests of Arkay, disgusting Namiric followers . . . what a crew of losers all around there.

Flyin so high ... yikes, what happened to that poor horse? Hope Oberon doesn't make a habit of ravaging it.

I really love the last painting actually that one's my fave this time. It's a moment of action which looks completely staged, like they're all posing for some reason.

Acadian: I know right?

Just now catching up with the fun here, thanks to a snow day. This ‘historic storm’ will be all right as long as we have wifi!


Renee, it was funny to see only half of the group had lost their clothing. Miss Gade looks too intent to notice, but the redheaded certainly did!

Did anyone else attempt to move the camera with their mouse for the upskirt picture? Sometimes I know I have a Nord looking over my shoulder!

Those calves are adorable. And acrobatic. So cute!

Was that tower picture the sun about to touch the whatsit for a quest?

I love the pictures with Renee’s whole group on the move. Gade looks heroic striding forth with all of her followers.


Lopov, Menace On the Hill is another painting that I can picture on my wall. Oberon’s horse’s markings lend themselves well to a painterly treatment.

My favorites in the Pale Pass Adventure series are The Old Path, Among the Undead, and The Great Find. The mist looks fantastic in Among the Undead, and the view of Oberon in the last is gorgeous. I love how he looks in his chainmail. The artist caught him at a great moment focused on the treasure.

Oh, how neat to see the originals as well! I’m still a fan of the paintings, but the view of Bruma and the scene with the Countess especially are lovely shots. And of course the last with Oberon looking down is a favorite in both versions.

Ugh, that Namira quest. The grey, grainy look of the shrine painting suits the scene well.

Oh my goodness, levitation in Cyrodiil! It must be the horse’s spell.

The weird light and yellow-green colors in “Lizard” give a great sickening feel to Oberon’s moment with the repulsive and the idiot.

Dang, Oberon looks handsome with that mail and katana!

Thanks all.

Because of interest in originals I decided to post them alongside Colla Gius' paintings in future posts. Sometimes paintings look better than originals, adding special feel to them but I agree that sometimes they're less detailed, even too blurred at times.

I do like the paintings too but as many of them showed a version of Cyrodiil I haven´t seen much of before, I was interested to see the originals.

The paintings do add a level of grandness though

Quest? Which pic are you asking about?



Hah, thanks. Yea I take a lot of pics like this. It's my ideal DnD / Baldur's Gate adventuring party come to life in Elder Scrolls




Agreed.

Not all paintings by Colla Gius' series have a proper title, especially not those that portray various gates of Oblivion all across Cyrodiil.

A gate to Oblivion

A gate to Oblivion

The following ones, however, have a proper title.

Sunrise in the Jeralls

The Lady of Dawn and Dusk

Natural border

Apparently Oberon forbade the following pic to be presented to the public, calling it a monstrosity, but Gius ignored his order.

Knights of the Thorn, also called "The Ugly, the uglier and the ugliest" by Oberon

Arkved's Oasis

Arkved's Retreat

Sunrise in the Jeralls is really neat, as is the Lady of Dawn and Dusk.

The Frown, the Frownier, and the Frowniest!

The OB gates look very cool in the painting style!

Luv's Azura!

Natural border is a beautiful shot.

Creepy tower, that Arkved one. Of course, that's what one would expect from Lady Vaermina.

This is off-topic, but some of those ads at the top of Shrani.si make me smile.

Oblivion gates look rather scary when painted! Sunrise over Jeralls is pretty, and so is the Lady pic.

Ha ha ha he called that red painting a 'monstrosity!' Yeah, I can kinda see why!
