Hey Mormacil, sorry about not announcing it... I've been busy, although technically I shouldn't even announce a winner, considering there was only one participant it doesn't even qualify for being a competition ;)

But seriously, congratulations :P I will be incorporating my interpretation of your wonderful Redguard in my next story after "The Mer-Headed Lion" which I am currently working on.

Again, congrats! You really do deserve it, even if it is not really much of a reward ;)

this drawing is better than the other one you shown earlier..did you read Have fun with a Pencil?

from what I see here your frame is much more well done, yet for the face you don't seem to be using the block method described in the book. I highly suggest you read it and try it, it will make you place your elements on the face much more easily and will never look off.

yet good drawing. Although what the hell is that big sword-like thing in his back? he's not an anime! :P

Yeah... Damn. I hate those sort of things, fuck. Who doesn't like praise? And you deserve it, not quite as much as Alex though :P He REALLY deserved some serious fucking praise! We chould make a praiseland just for him :P

Slof's mod? Nice. I don't use mods, I play vanilla :P Besides, I don't have time to play these days, so I have uninstalled Oblivion. All work and no play makes Thomas go crazy! *runs off*

Yeah for the face I used another method from an other book, just to try it out. I'll reread that part about faces. About that sword, claymores are supposed to be 2 meters tall at least ;) And it's just his sheet that you see. Read about his curse btw?

@Vocha indeeds Slof's mod, it's great fun :) Though somehow I can't load my saves :'( At least not the latest 2, get crashes after load.

Hey I wouldn't be playign if I didn't use any ;) And I only lost half an hour. The reason they're messed up I think is because I update the racemod I used.

Mormacil, this is the blocking stage I was talking about, I made you a quick animation of how I proceed.

notice the geometry I build using only circles. These are the sculpting of the face, here the drawing slowly proceed to a cage that could be seen as having a 3D depth already. very useful when it come to shading the drawing afterward, because these forms will dictate to you how the light should touch the form of the subject based on theses basic geometry.

This is one of the few mods I absolutely must have when playing Oblivion. They're my favorite weapons in the entire game.

Now I'm just waiting for Dunmer blades, as my character is a dark elf. :-D-)

I just wanted to pop in and say thank you for the excellent work thus far. I can't wait until the Breton swords are done, but please don't take it that I am trying to rush you; art takes time.

Keep up the truly excellent work.

It's a shame this contest is over ... I have a great character that I'm playing right now. He is a Reachman--a Breton from the Western mountains of Highrock. These isolated clans were part mage, part warrior, and part assassin, and were shunned and feared by Imperials and Bretons alike for their use of forbidden magic, yet played an important part in history. When an ambitious noble wanted someone done right and proper, they sought out a Witchman...

After the Bretons got their butts kicked at Sancre Tor, it was a Witchman who assassinated then-Emperor Cuhlecain, set the Imperial Palace on fire, and slit Tiber Septim's throat (a near thing, but it failed to kill him). Tiber Septim then became Emperor and unleashed all holy crap on the Bretons, and conquered them with his 'doomsday' machine (the Blades were said to be involved with employing it).

Imagine now, if you will, the reception such a character might get from Jauffre and his modern Blades (and the Elder Council as well)...

BTW, Kendric Kyndeyrn (formerly a Cavalry First Sergeant) carries the bronze baskethilt sabre and black longbow exclusively--he is Breton 'trash' and proud of it. 8-)
