The Skyrim Photographer's Guild

[Mauin]

Today was a busy day for From-Blackest-Reaches II:
Restoration Training
Surprise Attack
Skyborn Altar
Crap!
The Rimy Snowslider of Sightless Pit
Night Sky
The Violet Stormchaser of Arcwind Point
Charge to Victory
And Scream in Defeat
"Look, ma! I'm swimming in the air!"

From-Blackest-Reaches: Shaking her head slightly at the Mannequin that's standing in the middle of the room. You guys do realize that you're being creepy, right?
Mannequins: In a slow, quiet whisper. We know.
From-Blackest-Reaches:

The Speckled Swampdiver
An Azure Racer
"Look! There are UFO's in Skyrim!"
Fun with Magelight
Clueless Dragon is Clueless
"Hah! You can't get me!"
Warrior
Otar the Mad
Otar the Mad II
End of the Cardinal Flayer
Vokun
Vokin II

Dawnguard Playthrough Part 19: Harkon's Defeat

A few more shots for today. I had a huge duel between my two characters and I'll be posting some of those shots later.

Tycane and co fighting off a werewolf in the wilds.
After being infected, Tycane experiences his first transformation into a werewolf during an imperial attack.
Ditto.

I finally got into the mood to play Skyrim again. Started with a new character named Emrys Sadri, a Dunmer Spellsword.

[Frost Mage]

Those textures...

[Unionhack]

Curse you people and your future machines.

Nah, I kid. They look fantastic!

[Dohva.]

Yay Kailay's pictures are back and lovely as ever!

[Mauin]

Today's shots:
Northern Nighthawk
Night During Day
Withstanding the Storm
Lightning Bolt
Conjuration
Multitasking
First Legendary

[Frost Mage]

Awesome shots as always, Mauin.

[Mauin]

Thanks, Frosty.

Would've had more, but y'know, was too busy power-leveling to pay much attention to grabbing screenshots.
But I still can't resist taking the odd few.

I did have one of a rock I decided to name Jim, but I deleted it...
Don't ask. I was just testing out a rock/mountain texture.

[Frost Mage]

Jim the Rock... it certainly has a ring to it. How exactly do you go about power-leveling, anyways?

[Mauin]

I posted the methods I have for Smithing in your skill grinding thread.
The others...
Well, I've got my strategies. Developed after repeatedly restarting characters. Well, that and 1300 something hours of gameplay.

If you look up at my screenshots, you'll see some of my magic ones.
Conjuration: just cast Soul Trap on a dead body. Constantly. For a long time. That one is well-known.
Multitasking: I was leveling Alteration and Illusion at once. Those are well-known as well. Using Telekinesis for Alteration and Muffle for Illusion.
Having gear to reduce the costs by 100% helps considerably.

I'm not going to say anymore here since it's rather off topic.

[Unionhack]

I got some decent shots in today while trying out the Morrowind Armors mod.

Ralof on the Asteria.
Tycane fights a dragon that is attacking the Asteria. (My personal favorite.)
Erik, in the heat of battle at a bandit camp.
Tycane versus Halldir.
Close up of Tycane and his Stalhrim blades.
Erik mourns his father's death after a vicious bandit raid.

[Frost Mage]

I really want to apologize beforehand for saying this, but this is one time I can confidently say that the Xbox version looks better than Skyrim on Low.

[Unionhack]

It's actually on High.

I apologize for not having the cash for a decent system.

[Frost Mage]

No no, I'm not making fun of you, I'm the one that doesn't have any gaming rig to run Skyrim on at all. I was just pointing it out.

[Mauin]

Today's Shots:
Yes, I know the images are smaller than usual. Imgur isn't working, Steam isn't working. That leaves me with Photobucket, which I sincerely hate because I can't upload full size images because for some stupid reason it's restricted to pro members only. I have tried for more than 30 minutes to get other methods to work and at this point I'm ready to snap.

Perfection
Three Dragons
Too Easy
"Hmph. You'd think three Dragons would be tougher than that, but I assure you, they aren't. Especially if you can get behind them with a blade. It's as easy as pie."
Always remember: From-Blackest-Reaches is watching. Tweaked the eye texture. It is now more detailed.
The Assassin Strikes
In the Mouth
Final Blow
Oh, I forgot about this. It's Hunts-With-Fury's journal. Now that the character is complete, I ought to finish writing it.
"But... I thought I was the pretty one!"
"Bah. What does it matter? I know I'm damn good looking. For an Argonian."
"Those that wish death upon me, only meet death themselves."
Legendary Attack
"Hey, Vilkas, I think you're bleeding."
Throat of the World
Ryzani, Khajiit Mage and Vampire... Well, not quite yet, anyway.
It kinda bugs me that the Coverkhajiits texture doesn't extend to the back of the head. Then again, the fact that Ryzani looks vaguely like Voldemort from this angle is also bugging me. What doesn't?
Lightning Storm VS Krosis
Ryzani: now wearing her final armor.

[Dohva.]

Oh, I like that armor! And her pointy teeth.

So my desire to have a set of kill cam photos was a bust. I can't open the console while the kill cam shot is happening, so I quickly snap the pic and a lot of them didn't come out so good. I will just keep trying. So here are a couple that did mixed in with some Forgotten Vale:

Spoiler:

She must be thinking of all the dirty dishes back home.




Its ok, Meeko. I got this.


Go Serana! You can take him, I have faith in you.




I guess she wasn't high enough on those rocks. Reload time.


The bravest dog in Skyrim.

[DikaSmausha]

Great shots as always, everyone!

[kailay]

Awesome shots guys!

I made another new character, Morgana Frey, a Nord Spellsword. Really like her already.
