I’m so glad you’ve formed such a connection to Persephone and that she has chosen you (and Darryl) to adventure with.


Very wrong – Oh my. Leave magic to the professionals is the lesson here.

Waterfall – Waiting for Jerric to jump over the falls? (Reference: Grits’ current screen of the month in her sig).

Yikes, the Thalmor don’t have enough elves to take down Persephone & Darryl.

Wow, between the sword, blue eyes and horned helm, Brother Darryl is . . . (pauses to conjure up mALX word) . . . Awesome!

Speaking of blue eyes, luvs ‘Terminators’.

Chopping and Disarming and other Persephonie swordic type things.

As I’ve said, red is such a neat accent color for Persephone and Tai Chi is simply a magnificent shot.

Uh oh, looks like someone is after her with a ghostly blade of shock?

[mALX]

It looks like something went very wrong here...

Watefall

It appears the Thalmor have issued an execution edict against Persephone

Say hello to Darryl's other brother Darryl

Terminators

Chopping

Disarmed

Tai Chi exercises

Red Dead Persephone

Silver-Eyed Witch

It is beyond Awesome that you have that connection with Persephone! That is amazing, and really makes her feel that much more precious to know she touches you on such a deep level!


GAAAAAH! There is a hand reaching up from the grave! Watch out Persephone!


Waterfall seems like a very personal moment to Persephone; like that moment in time was one where she was remembering something from the past that she felt strongly about.


Wow, an execution order for her? What did she do that caused that? Is that something that happens when you follow the main questline? The Thalmor in this shot have some very interesting armor; but looks ike it didn't hep them much against Persephone and Darryl, lol.


I love the "Other Brother" shot, wow - a Draugr Lord! But best of all is Persephone's expression in this - and her armor! I love that armor!


These fight scenes here are the bloodiest I've ever seen! Urk!!! Holy Cow, blood flying everywhere ... glad I just ate rasberry puree,

Tai Chi and Red Dead are as good as the "Practicing" a few sets back. I love those shots, it is such a close up and Persephone's expression so intense - not to mention the glow of magic from her hands. Those three shots (these two and "Practicing" from a few sets ago) are spectacular!


Aside from the gory blood splatter, this last shot is an Awesome one! I genuinely feel sorry for whoever is on the receiving end of what she is giving them, lol.

That almost made it to be my favorite, especially with the contrast of the blood against the colorless background and Persephone's own blending in with that background; but it couldn't top the "Waterfall."

That one (Waterfall) leaves the viewer feeling something with Persephone; feeling like they have witnessede her in a moment when she thought no one could ontop of that waterfall alone almost in the sky she was so far up. Very powerful screen.

These were all great shots, loved this update!

[SubRosa]

Acadian: I was thinking about the naked Nord leaping over those falls! Maybe he thought there was mead at the bottom?


mALX: Persephone ran across one of the Thalmor soldiers with a prisoner on the road nearby. Elves hauling off humans doesn't sit well with a member of Alessia's army. So she promptly went to killin'.

How appropriate that Arcadia line becomes with Persephone in the picture!

Whiterun sky = symphony in blue.

Meet the Fokkers Falmer. If they had eyes, they would see their worst nightmare.

“M’aiq has heard that it is dangerous to be your friend.”

All the girls gathered around Erandur! Actually, with his hood off he is a very neat looking Dunmer.

That quest where you clear ‘Nightcrawler’ Temple with Erandur is a great one. I love that you can side with Vaermina or a Priest of Mara.

[SubRosa]

Acadian: I was thinking of Meet the Fockers when I wrote that caption for the Falmer pic! I never watched the movie, but always loved the title.

Maiq was not lying about the dangerous part!

The Nightcaller Temple quest is one of my favorites in Skyrim. It is not one of Persephone's though. Being near a holy person, let alone an altar of one of the Divines, is not a pleasant experience for a living dead girl like herself. My RP is that using an altar does damage to her. I would make a mod for it, but after the first time she would never try using one again, so it would just be a waste of time to go to that much trouble.


Persephone has made a lair for herself in the Windward Ruins

She has plenty of company within

Presto, his head disappears!

Like so many movies, I’ve never watched the Fockers – just bits and pieces of it sometimes when it comes on the TV. Aww, that is such a shame that Persephone struggles with the Divines – or perhaps they struggle with her. One would think she and Arkay would be drinking mates. I’m surprised that Mara would not comfort her. After all, there is plenty of good within Persephone that the goddess of love would embrace. And I don’t expect Persephone exactly chose her current . . . situation. Aside from the Eight +1, are things any better with the 16 + 1? I mean Buffy found that Azura was quite tolerant and accepting of Serana, who like Persephone, is a dead girl with quite a bit of good within her.

Windward Ruins is a great choice! The Darryl bros can easy take care of any skeevers. There’s plenty of ventilation and a nice cool climate. Not to mention it’s close to significant roads and even shopping at Dawnstar!

That’s quite a magic trick! Way more impressive than turning someone into a chicken.

Persephone blends so perfectly into that beautiful night shot of the shoreline.

I'm sorry it has taken so long to get here. I actually saw these the day you posted them, and had the comments to them written on Notepad; but the laptop blue-screened and I can't find them now, so they didn't get saved by the dump like the "Word" program does. Since then I have been having some RL things going on (on top of a few more blue-screens, like I needed that right now, urk).

But I hate to miss telling you how much I enjoy your screens, and commenting them has been laying in the back of my mind throughout all going on, and that is the truth.

The first screen had me laughing because that is close to exactly what she said to Maxical when she first walked in there; and it freaked me out thinking she had caught that vampire disease or something, lol. But above that is Persephone's expression; that adorable pout she has in that screen! That is my favorite of the set.

That "Sky" is a spectacular shot! How on Nirn did you ever get a shot from that distance and above? That is a stunning shot, it looks like it could be a lead in for a movie or something. Awesome!

"Meet the Falmer" is another of those great expression shots for Persephone, what a look! And that closeup of the back of the Falmer's head - you have great graphics, you can see the sweat pores...or are those hair follicles? Anyway, great shot!

The "Robe is a Chick Magnet" had me rolling, all the expressions on all the faces, and their postures - looks like the robed man is spewing some deep "shiiiiit" in there, lol. Is that the Psjjic guy from the College? Oh wait, I'll bet it is Erandur. Oops, lol.

I'm caught again by the tremendous amount of blood in your game, and the way it comes out in these screens as such a contrast to the monochrome backgrounds! How do you do that?

All great shots!

"Cool" looking lair - Literally! It looks downright cold! Gave me the shivers, lol. No bed/bedroll/coffin for Persephone?

"Kneel before Zod" - is that a regular werewolf? I never noticed the cloven hooves before in any vids, etc. I thought they would have padded paws like a wolf or dog, that really surprised me! I love the shot and the caption, it really does look like he is kneeling!

The "Magic Trick" and "Presto" - the captions alone had me rolling,

Persephone's eyes in "Shoreline" - these eyes have made a whole change in Persephone's appearance from sweet dead girl to wicked (in the good way) badass dead girl. All the expressions she makes are enhanced by those eyes, they make a statement of their own!

Awesome shots!

[SubRosa]

Acadian: I don't think Arkay and Persephone would get along. He is the enemy of all undead. He's actually very much like the God of Witchcraft, in that he embodies the phenomena of death, regeneration, and rebirth. He's a physical symbol of that which dies and is reborn. Likewise with Mara, who is of course the conduit for that birth. Persephone, like all undead, is stuck at the death part like a sabrecat in a tar pit - never going beyond to the natural progression of letting go of the old life, and embracing the new one that lies beyond death. But that is of course the Witch in me talking. Everyone's mileage varies

Well, if Persephone ever learns to turn people into chickens, at least Serana can reanimate them.


mirocu: You know what they say: Home is where the bodies are...


mALX: I hate making a big post and then losing it all! Sometimes Firefox can recover it, sometimes not. Afterward it is hard to work up the gumption to go to all that effort again.

I think Arcadia's "ataxia" comment is her way of terrifying people into buying a cure disease potion!

Yep, that chick magnet is Erandur. He gets all the hotties!

No bed for Persephone. She doesn't sleep, and she isn't expecting any living visitors at the ruins. When she starts thinking about perhaps adopting kids, then she will work out a more 'livable' living space.

The magic trick was inspired by Batman: The Dark Knight. When the Joker bursts into a meeting of the mob bosses who he has been robbing, he says "I'm going to do a magic trick. I'll make this pencil disappear." He sticks a pencil into the table, pointing up as a thug rounds the table. Then Joker slams the guy's face right down into the pencil. It goes right through his eye and up into his skull. The goon falls down dead, and Joker waves his hands down at the empty spot on the table where the pencil was. Voila!

Shoreline was one of those perfect moments for a picture. I took several there, looking to get it just right.


I have been playing Veleda in Kotor 1

And yesterday I started playing Jedi Academy

It is an old game (Using the Quake 3 engine), but it still looks good. The red spots show engine parts that Jaden needs to replace

I really love her pants and boots

[Acadian]

Never played any of those games. It looks very nice, albeit 'cleaner' than the gritty FO / Skyrim stuff. Your characters look good! In the last shot, is Jaden snapping a picture with her purse phone or eating a sandwich?

[mALX]

GAAAAH !!! I didn't see an email for this!


Ooh, now is Veleda the sexy little minx or is it the silver armored guy with the gun? I kind of like the look of the space ship, but then kind of think it looks almost too clean.

This next ship looks more realistic imho; a little bit lived in, lol. And you already told me you were blue faced in this one! I love that .. hair? Great pose, too!


That most def looks like missing parts, and I've never played the game before, lol.


I was thinking that exact thing in the first screen, but this one is closer up and shows them much better - Awesome boots and greaves/pants!


Great shots! Now, I have to search out the other post!

[SubRosa]

Acadian: These games much older than FO3, NV, Skyland, etc... Back then no one put a whole lot of clutter in games. That's why they have a spartan look to them.

Jaden might be eating her purse-phone in that last picture, or snapping a picture with her sandwich! Jedi Knight is hard to take screenshots with. There is no free camera mode. Instead the camera is always locked behind the shoulder,except in first person view. The only times I can get a picture of Jaden from the front is during one of the cinematic scenes. Which is really disappointing, since there are many cool sights in Jedi Academy.


mALX: Veleda is the one with the shaved head/ponytail. The other one is just a robot that she fixed up.

I liked how they did those red silhouettes to show what engine parts I needed too. Like you said, it is plain what you need to do. They do the same thing when you need to plant explosives in a few of the missions.


Jaden calls back one of her lightsabers (the boots on the right are from the dark jedi she just slayed)

Jadens sets explosives (I wonder how she managed to carry six of those! )

The Jedi Academy being addressed by Master Skywalker

Jaden and The Raven's Claw

[Grits]

Wow, Jaden looks amazing. She is beautiful! Everything else looks very cool, but Jaden steals the show!

She was calling the light saber to her? That is awesome, I didn't know you could do that! I thought it had popped from her hand! I was laughing about those boots sticking up in the air,

Those are some pretty big explosives, lol.

This was my favorite screen, because of the interesting expressions on everyone's faces looking at the speaker; and even not having played the game I thought that looked like Luke Skywalker! This game did well with the characters!

The Raven's Claw, wicked name for a wicked looking spacecraft!

Awesome shots!

[Acadian]

Like Grits, I think Jayden looks fabulous!

And like mALX, I think the ability to recall one's lightsaber to its owner is wonderful. Telekinesis via the Force!

Carrying six of those big explosive things? For a girl who can recall her lightsaber? Phshaww - it's magic, silly!

I'm also with mALX is really liking that perfectly named wicked-looking space ship.

[mALX]

By the way, if you are posting these in any other thread = I can't find it. I'm not getting an email notice for them anywhere, and I got on here (Chorrol) and tried just looking for it by digging through all the forums and couldn't find it. (so if you are posting them in another thread, could you give me a link?)

Grits: Jedi Academy doesn't give you a lot of customization options, basically 4 different heads to choose from, 4 torsos, and 4 legs/pants. But they all look good. Something Bethesda ought to take a cue from...


mALX: Remember how Vader threw his lightsaber at Luke during their duel on the Death Star II in Return of the Jedi? And how Luke pulled his lightsaber to himself in the Wampa cave the beginning of Empire Strikes Back? You can do both, throwing your lightsaber, and having it automatically return to your hand. Sort of like Thor's hammer, but with more color.

The Raven's Claw is the successor to the ship in the earlier Dark Forces games - The Moldy Crow! Seriously, that was its name. That was a really cool ship. Though I don't know how anyone can see out of it, since there are no windows facing forward!


Acadian: Being a Jedi must be great for playing with the cat. You can make all their toys roll around using The Force!

The magic of FPS games is no inventory limits!



Jaden has upgraded her armory

She's got quite a pair

Are you referring to her lekku?

[Acadian]

Oooh! Such pretty colors! Love the blue skin, rust & gold outfight and nifty pair or glowing light sabres!
