Alright, I said I'd re-do those fighting shots so they're... like, not so dark and closer to the action, so... er, here they are. Took me a while, because the areas I was in, for some reason, caused my video card to get up to 100C, which... uh, caused it to poop out a couple of times, which made getting these shots VERY FRUSTRATING. It's only the second area I've encountered that causes my temperatures to skyrocket. Might have been the area itself (temple in the Imperial City), the three torches I dropped for lighting, or it might've been the armour I used. I dunno, at this point I don't really feel like finding out.

Screenshot 1 - Parry!


Screenshot 2 - Er... parry again!


Screenshot 3 - Staggering Force.


Screenshot 4 - OOF!


Screenshot 5 - FINISH HIM! (not really... just wanted a Mortal Combat Reference)

Basil the Bastard at his evil best: Sorcerer's Fury:

[Luchaire]

[Soul_Slayer]

Jasmine returns to Fort Farragut to learn of her new role in the Brotherhood, after eliminating her "family" in the Cheydinhal sanctuary, she will now recieve her orders on paper, sometimes in remote locations, as she leaves the Speaker's presence, she can't help but feel all alone in the world.


Her first Dead Drop was easy to accomplish, the necromancer was no challenge for her, and she left for Chorrol to pick up her next orders, to kill an entire family line.

Arriving at Applewatch Jasmine talks to the kindly old woman and recieves a list of her children's locations.


Jasmine kills the old woman as she was ordered, but is hit with a strange feeling inside, as she stares down at the corpse, she feels a small measure of regret, for the woman was a kind and caring individual, not a necromancer, or criminal, or corrupt official.


She dismisses this new feeling, and goes about about executing the rest of the family, but as she picks up her next orders, her thoughts drift back to the sweet old woman, Jasmine snaps out of her daydream with anger beginning to burn from within and opens her next orders. "So," she mutters to herself, "my next target is waiting for me, eh? Well, I must make sure to not dissapoint him".

As Jasmine made her way from Skingrad to Bruma, she battled with her feelings, luckily there was the occasional bandit or wild beast to help keep her mind in check. When she arrived at her target's house, she changed into her training gear, determined to take her anger out on this next target. The fight was long and tough, this opponent was well trained, and strong, but could not best the skilled young ninja, and like so many before him, fell.


After beating the life out of the Khajiit, Jasmine meditated on the events of the evening and realized that nothing had changed, the mixed feelings were still there, she could not shake them. Jasmine equipped her gear and headed out to her next dead drop, many unanswered questions still clouding her mind. Each new order was becoming more and more difficult, and Jasmine was beginning to wonder if her mixed up thoughts were causing her to lose her focus.

Jasmine is lost in thought as she lies in wait for her next target in Bravil, so much so that she almost doesn't notice him standing there in front of the statue, she brings herself out of her trance and fires several arrows into the Bosmer, killing him. As she goes to leave Lucien appears out of no where and accuses her of betrayal, but seeing the confused look on her face realizes she is not to blame, and instructs her to go to the next dead drop location to catch the culprit.

After Lucien leaves, Jasmine stares down at the corpse of the fallen Listener.

She realizes that she has been had, some one has been using her for their own ends, against her own "family", and her anger grows stronger as she heads to Anvil for her "meeting".

In Anvil, Jasmine watches as a Bosmer walks up and places an envelope in the barrel she is hiding behind, she steps out and confronts him, after getting the required info from him, he begins to walk away, as she watches him go, her anger gets the better of her, she raises her bow, takes aim, and fires.

"What am I doing?"

"This wasn't a sanctioned hit, this was just a person being paid to make deliveries." Jasmine begins to feel her world crumbling around her, she never let her emotions cloud her judgement before, and now, she has taken an innocent's life. "That bastard in the lighthouse will pay for this." she hisses under her breath.

Unfortunately, the traitor wasn't there, but she did find his journal in a side room across from a severed head. "I must get this to Lucien at Applewatch, so he can plan the next step", she thought to herself.

When she arrived at Applewatch, she saw the graves of Perennia Draconis and her children, a great sadness fell over her as she looked over the graves.


When she entered the house, she was met by several figures in black robes stranding around a hanging corpse they identified as Lucien. She was too late, the remaining Black Hand members located and killed him. Jasmine recieved a promotion to Lucien's place within the Black Hand, and listened to Arquen explain how they needed to ask the Night Mother herself for guidance. As the group makes their way to Bravil, Jasmine is silent the entire trip, she knows the traitor is one of them, but doesn't know which, so she will have to wait for them to expose themselves.

In Bravil, Jasmine learns the true purpose of the statue, and watches as Arquen recites the chant to open the doorway to the Night Mother's crypt, and follows the others down to the tomb.


Jasmine listens as the Night Mother speaks to Arquen,

suddenly, the traitor springs into action killing two of the others, and attacking the Night Mother herself.
Jasmine's anger grows to a rage, and she attacks the traitor, violently slashing him with her katana until his lifeless body lay at her feet.


The Night Mother addresses Jasmine, and tells the ninja that all that has transpired was forseen by her, and that she allowed it to happen.


The next thing Jasmine knows is she is proclaimed the new Listener of the Dark Brotherhood, and transported to the Cheydinhal Sanctuary, and the sadness is upon her once again.

It is almost more a punishment to her than a reward to be returned to the sanctuary where she had killed her surrogate family, and worse yet, for no apparant reason since the traitor wasn't even part of it.

Jasmine threw herself into her training, trying to block out her feelings.


She realized that wasn't working, and decided to ask the Night Mother for her insight and guidance in this situation. It was a stormy night when Jasmine prayed to the Night Mother, the turbulent weather seemed to mirror her own feelings.


The only reply the young ninja recieved from the Night Mother was the instructions she needed to deliver to Arquen for the next assassination.

What's the code to do linkable thumbnails?

It's basically a combination of the IMG tag, and the link for the pic, here's an example:

Last time I posted screenshots, my character Kelta killed the Gatekeeper. Now, she moves on towards her destination: Her second sword, and her wings, which she lost when she tripped over a spike on top of a church while flying over it. Now all characters are perfect, are they? You'll also notice, this is my first time really using speech bubbles! Yay! Now it's a real comic!

Time for a little something special...

We all know how hard it is to shape our characters into just the right form to be truely unique. All of us bestow on our characters their own life of sorts, either through background stories, personality, or by the clothing they wear.

But out of all the qualities that we struggle so much with, the face has to be the most horrific! Many a player has succumbed to Facegen ineptitude due to the delicacy of it's evil sliders. With each slider "bump" the possibility that other sliders will fuck up the face portrait rises dramatically. Deformed features, mismatching necklines, extreme body-to-face color differences, extremely pale or dark faces, or even the dreaded white cheek syndrome are all possible disasters. But for those who persevere and learn their way around the facegen, the creation of a truely unique face for a unique character is born.

I'm sure everyone here who has worked hard on a character knows exactly what i'm talking about. For this reason, i'm dedicating this collage to anyone who has ever spent alot of time on a character's face.

Evolution of Ryu's Face


Starting at the top going left to right(From right outside the starting Sewers to a recent Faceshot), you can see how Ryu's face has changed through the time he's been around. Most of the faces are slight variables of each other but you can clearly see the "jumps" in the skintone. Not included are the face tone experiements from saves that I don't have archived. In one, Ryu was clearly a dark Orange!
You can also notice how Ryu had wide nostrils in his earlier days. I eventually decided to give him a nose job for his good work.

[Spike4072]

Now that I am done with the Wolf elf mod I started playing around with it some and made Luna a little sister.

[Zombie216]
