My First Oblivion Character, Generating character ideas... Options

[Neela]

Hi All... I havent been using Poser much lately... but I was in the mood again for it this weekend. So I decided to make pics of the characters I plan on making in Oblivion... Hope you enjoy them. Here is my first one... A necromancer

I can only feel ashamed for not commenting this great pieces of ART (yes, it's ART with all three capital letters) untill now, but someone once said "better late than never", so...

Hi All...  I havent been using Poser much lately... but I was in the mood again for it this weekend.  So I decided to make pics of the characters I plan on making in Oblivion... Hope you enjoy them.  Here is my first one... A necromancer

This is an awesome picture, which perfectly combines sensuality and death in one - although we always tend to picture nectromancers as dark, horrifying personalities there is no law that forbids some of them to look noble and sexy all I can say is good job, good job, good job !

Here is my second character choice...  A large and angry Ogre!...  I mean a skilled thief/archer.

As for the Necromancer pic... Shes casting her raise skeleton spell...  I always thought still and focused hands looked more powerful than finger wiggling.

edit: oops forgot the pic!

Again, great contrast here - we have the classic Beauty and The Beast concept, with our young archer looking too good for this battle scene... good thing she has a big longbow - I can only feel sorry for the ugly who's gonna receive those arrows

and I also bought a 3d particle generator so that I can turn that picture into this one...
Whats a Fire Mage without the FIRE!!

Enjoy!

Now this is my favourite pic - it's actually my wallpaper now. Remember what I said about contrasts and how Neela uses them cunningly in her creations ? Well, this is the apex - here you can see a young, cheerful, almost Manga-like Wood Elf girl who has an innocent look on her face and starshine in her eyes... but, several incantations later, she is the center of the most volatile and unstable element that there is - you can call it Fire, I can call it Plasma, but it all comes down to same thing. It doesen't matter that this fragile creature is dressed as if she's going with her friends to some Tamrielic fashion-show (with the exception of that dagger - a great eye for details, Neela), she is the wielder of elemental powers in Universe and if you mess with her, she'll just give you a wide smile, glance at you with those beautiful, big baby eyes... and then scortch you to nothing. Simple as that. This picture is also a great tradition breaker, because it defies the racial afinity of certain races for certain jobs - who says that only Dunmer should be Destruction-related spellcasters, while Bosmers should stick to their bows ? I always loved fire mages (In HoMM IV my Chaotic choice would always have to be Fireguard or Pyromancer, no other ) and I just adore this picture. It's awesome.

Just playing around with my new particles software.... 

I guess this really isn't a character idea... but I wasn't sure if it is preferred that I keep my images contained to just one thread... rather than a new one for each image?

Anyway... here's what I came up with for my Frost Daedra!

Wow. This is a great confirmation for my thesis that greatest drawing/modeling tool isn't some Uber-powerful PIV-based computer with all sorts of software goodies installed... the greatest tool is your mind ! If not, you wouldn't picture Atronach this good and vivid. Everything about him, from the facial expression, his skin, muscles and that freezing left hand of his is done with style and skill... and great imaginative power. Great complement to him is also his frosty background - beautiful, yet deadly, multicolored rays are broken and bent in all directions, resembling both Northern Lights and frosen gassy particles - brilliant !

I really don't know what else to say, because this is some outstanding work, both on artistic and professional level. So, because I'm speechless right now, I'll just shut up, bow down to you and enjoy your work.

EDIT: typos, typos, typos... gahh !!
