                Well now. Without reflections, there be no great hoo-rah over silver.

Look et the Water Stone in silver

Least ways, they be done.

               Well still, having a cool toned option is great. Not sure if I'm being a pain, but I'd suggest shrinking them by 75% and see if it fits the head better. Might be the camera angle but they're coming down over the eyes.
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Cestus Dei]

               Nay bein' a pain so much as embarrassin' me, which can only happen when I be too lazy ta properly fit them diadems. Was nay the size, though. Was the position, low an' forward.





This better?

               Yes, especially on the male version! I really like the different gem cuts you added.

               Skyrim-borrowed icons look rather cool, naturally. Quite glad you switched sources, Birdman, I always hated the style of the Warcraft ones '>

Agreed, although I do quite a bit of cherry picking for anything I source, stuff that makes sense and looks good regardless. '>

               Think I'm going over-time on this one. <>

A lot of delays un-related to the CCC. 

But here's a teaser, anyway.

That looks cool!  I'd vote for leaving the hood (if that's what it is) off.  Are you using the cloak bones for that by any chance?
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Vibrant Penumbra]

               Hood? 
Ahhh! '>

That's the mantle/shoulder piece. It's just flat now to get the texture map right. Then I'll deform it forward and down to fit over the shoulders and around the head. I'm going to make the mantle dangly mesh if I can figure it out. I know TAD said there was a good toot on Harvest Moon, but I haven't actually gone looking yet '>

The winglets will each be boned with 15 bones. I want some fine movement at the tips and coarser movement at the base.

The pear-shaped bit will be boned, too. It will be thicker (hiding the base of the winglets inside) and will form the bulk of the back-piece.

I have thought about a dangly-mesh ruff of feathers, something like Estelindis' Sasvras cloak:

But that'll be an upgrade for later, unless someone wants to help '>

               And I managed to completely ignore this theme and not get distracted by it, so I concentrated on getting the Medieval City tileset a step closer to completion instead of making yet another tileset that has too few tiles to be of much use and won't have everything in it that I planned to put into it.

Still, at some point I'd really like to make those elven buildings ...
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Jenna WSI]

               Pretty please make that tileset Zwerk!

               Let's see if I can be a necromancer and revive this dead thread.
I have a half finished elven building and would like to get some feedback.



The gables and balconies are still missing, as are the windows and the ornaments at the top of the roof. The ground around the house won't be as flat as it is now either.

There will be variations of the building with balconies at one of the longer sides of the building and/or with windows in the roof. Most of the other buildings won't have a patio.
