Mauin, how do you pose your characters like that? I can't figure out how to do that for the life of me.

On topic: my only shot from the past few days.

I see you... (He did see me. And he tried to burn me to a crisp moments after this shot)

Mods:
FNIS allows the use of different animations for specific genders and whatnot (I honestly can't remember what it does). The spells allow you to control the animations your character plays. There are even dance animations.
Puppeteer Master is the one I use. Simpler than FNIS, but it gets the job done.

I'll get some shots later... I'm working on a Playable Miraak mod right now.

Today's shots (DB spoilers)

The shot of the candles in the ancient nord ruins are particularly eye catching, though I have to admit the riekling shots look awesome too. Is using an ENB tough on your computer?

kailay · **Posted:** Sun Feb 17, 2013 12:32 am

Thanks. Yea, lags like crazy but I only turn it on when taking screenshots.

perylousdemon · **Posted:** Sun Feb 17, 2013 4:58 am

Thanks for the links, Mauin. Both of those mods look a little too difficult for me to want to bother with, though. I'll just keep taking boring vanilla shots.

Awesome shots, Kailay! I really like the first Khajiit one (I assume that's your character). The dragon is pretty cool, too.

And here are my shots from today:

The newest thief (And probably the best...)
The archer and the dragon (Faelwyn versus a forest dragon)
Soul (I guess we know who won that fight)

Mauin · **Posted:** Sun Feb 17, 2013 5:06 am

You're welcome, Perylousdemon. FNIS was a bit of a pain to keep udated. It seemed more likely than Puppeteer Master to have issues with new game updates and DLCs. Which it did, actually, with Dragonborn.

The ENB that I use (for Climates of Tamriel, though), called VandB ENB, is actually pretty performance friendly. I've come to like it more than the others I've tried. Even The Wilds (which is a serious fps hog). I use the Ultra version. Doesn't have as fancy of effects, but I rather like its simplicity compared to the others.

Anyway, today's three little shots:
Healing
Why is it that I made a male character who looks sad/vulnerable? I might have to tweak his appearance a bit. He looks like he's trying to give you the "sad puppy" look.
Morrowind Style Glass Armor (with transparency, because I like the effect; don't really care about realism)

Edit:
Speaking of ENB's, I just went and took three ENB shots of Vendr Icebrand.
The Face of a... Criminal?
Shooting the Moons
Ward

ScorpionGT1 · **Posted:** Sun Feb 17, 2013 7:46 pm

The Soldier and the Bandit
Corvos Acilius
The Brawl
Uh, Bjorlam, what are you doing over there?

He's actually a follower.

Great shots everyone!

Puppeteer Master, huh? Silly name aside, I'll have to try that out. Interesting ENB too.

Here are my most recent shots, mostly from today when I went to deposit Serana at Castle Volkihar and got distracted camping and taking screenshots for half an hour. I have a feeling this will become a trend and I'm going to take ten times longer than necessary completing any given quest, particularly since I have Frostfall with fast travel off.

Luca being all dark and mysterious
Campin' time!
More camping
The next morning
Sunrise

And now for something MANLIER

ConsoleWedding · **Posted:** Mon Feb 18, 2013 5:49 am

I just picked up RaceMenu and my Dragonborns are due for more makeovers. It's great to have so much color choice again, my Khajiit necromancer now has a much better look. There's my handsome golden boy! It's okay to stare, J'zargo.
At High Hrothgar.
Onmund and J'zargo learn to cross the street using the buddy system.
Ancano's sneer was so funny I had to capture it.
I think Mirabelle looks the most "Reservoir Dogs" in this shot.

Spelling Police: that Sunrise shot is super nice!

Cool shots, Spelling Police. Not sure if you're aware or not, but you can remove the blur from shots where dragons are using their shouts by entering the following console command: sgrb 1 0 0 0 1 (you need the spaces). It works like a charm. Of course, if you like the effect, then feel free to ignore my suggestion.

Ha, thanks for the tip. I kind of like the effect in the one I posted, but I had several more that I discarded because the blur kind of messed them up, so I'll be sure to do that in the future.

Spelling Police, that sunset one is breathtaking. I'd like to imagine I was there. Ahh.

Kailay, I would have to say the shot of the Riekling is my favorite. I like the way he's posing!

And Console Wedding, that Onmund and J'Zargo picture is hilarious! Onmund is such a cutie pie. :heart:

All right, here are some magey pics. Sylmirie got herself a makeover and now has brown hair. Figured she would give the "serious" brunette look for a while and I think its rather working for her.

The first shot though is of Lieth and husband Vilkas:

Sylmirie in Solstheim

Mauin · **Posted:** Tue Feb 19, 2013 6:00 am

Today's Shots:
Riverwood Together
Altmer 1
Altmer 2
Nerani Vyr Reborn
Fleeing the Scene
Chitin 1
Chitin 2
Sneaking

After changing the colors of the Chitin Armor, I think I'm starting to like it.

perylousdemon · **Posted:** Tue Feb 19, 2013 9:31 am

A few shots from the past couple days. They're mostly kinda meh, but whatever.

One down... (One to go. Yay random dragon spawn during an assault)
Riverwood (Looking at it, you'd never guess it was just ravaged by two dragons)
Avatar of Nocturnal (spoiler-ish if you've never done the TG questline. I have no idea why this one didn't resize properly)
Sneaky trio (Fae, Karliah, and Brynjolf on their way to give Mercer a well-deserved butt-kicking)
Fae's handiwork (Yes, she killed all of them with sneak attacks. One even ran into her and didn't realize she was there until he had an arrow through his face)
Payback (You know what they say about it. Pardon the terrible clipping of the circlet with her TG hood)

Dohva. · **Posted:** Tue Feb 19, 2013 8:41 pm

^^I'm waiting a bit longer to finish the Thieve's Guild with my own Bosmer. Even though she's level 40 she still sucks royally, or maybe its just I can't guide her battles well enough. :roll:

Two for today:

Eh. To be fair, I'm only playing on apprentice with her. I find higher difficulties unenjoyable with a stealthy character. Granted, I'm one- or two-shotting everything I sneak attack, so maybe I should try adept and see how that goes. She already has trouble with dragons as it is, though, and with how frequently they're spawning for me... I don't know.

Dohva. · **Posted:** Tue Feb 19, 2013 8:53 pm

I started out playing my Bosmer on Expert, now she's on Master like my other two characters. Its intense at lower levels, let me tell you. It takes A LOT of arrows to kill some things, but she makes her own arrows and poisons so its cheap.

That would be all fine and dandy if I wasn't having multiple dragons spawn every time I fast travel. This most recent time? Two elder dragons in Riften. All the guards there are already dead from previous dragon attacks. It literally took me 15 minutes to kill both of them. Granted, I still have no fire resistance item, so that's part of why it was so difficult (since they both breathed fire)...

Mauin · **Posted:** Wed Feb 20, 2013 6:27 am

All of my character start on master. I just can't be bothered to constantly adjust the difficulty depending on the character. Besides, most of them become strong enough early on that they can survive on master without any difficulty... However, sometimes Skyrim just decides to mess with you. Then you find yourself suddenly wishing you were playing on a lower difficulty. Or at least, I did anyway. Was crossing the river on the way to Riverwood to pick that Nirnroot. What happens? Poor little level 2 Vulom III was assaulted by two bandit chiefs (one wielding a battleaxe and the other a sword and shield), and two ranged bandits. That was only slightly irritating.

Anyway... Topic.
Today's shots:
Crouched in Shadows
Oh, now this is a mean one.
Guess who's back?
Leaving Helgen
Off to Markarth
Battling the Mudcrab
Darkness Unbound
Power-leveling
And this is the result of an hour spent leveling: a bloody mess.
Oh! Now this is pretty. Why didn't I download it before?

perylousdemon · **Posted:** Wed Feb 20, 2013 8:14 am

That is pretty, Mauin. What mod is that?

On topic: three shots from today (er, yesterday...whatever)

In the flesh (TG questline spoiler)
Hjaalmarch sunrise (After being so rudely kidnapped by Astrid)
Portrait of a thief (I really love ethereal elven overhaul...)

Mauin, I can't wait to see Vulom's transformation to creepy vampire woman. :Twisted Evil:

She looks so different as a mortal.

My Felina shots of today. In the second shot she had just drank a strong ale so the screen is fuzzy:

Spoiler:

Mauin · **Posted:** Thu Feb 21, 2013 6:08 am

I know. I keep looking at her and thinking, "She doesn't look right..." Of course she doesn't look right. She's not a Vampire with the most monstrous complexion available to them. Once I'm finished the Companions... Once I'm finished power-leveling and the dungeon diving... Once I've finished the exploration...
Oh, boy.

Today wasn't really much of a screenshot day, but I do have these:
Sunset over the Water
Switched to the UNP body. Vulom doesn't care.
"Do me a favor and get this ugly mask off of my face!"
"There. That's better."
