Syls Amusements

10. Cyrelian–Secret Respite: Solitude 5

 

This was by far the hardest one to write– I’ve had the pictures done since the holidays but kept coming back to it over and over.

Furb and I talked about it and I found her commentary very helpful.  Tricky scene to navigate.

Most of the pictures were taking in Jokerine’s The Lofty Loft.

That little apartment’s one of my inspirations for this whole series.  And I forgot to credit Jokerine for all of the Saturalia regalia I’ve dropped into pictures of Cyrelian’s mother’s home. (Yes, I absolutely think Altmer would have huge family-centric Victorian-era type Saturalia celebrations..)

A couple of the shots were taken in The Lucky Skeever by sa547 who is also one of my inspirations. More of this author’s mods are definitely going to be featured!

EDIT: I suppose I should warn that this one is quite NSFW as it is sexytimes, Cyr and Ahtar.

 

Ahtar – Magic from the Skys

After Robbie made the lovely Fireglass Armory, mod author JasonSplendor put together a quest mod, Magic from the Skys which is absolutely lovely. It’s almost impossible to get a good clear shot of how it looks in-game, but I tried.

 

Why Ahtar?

He’s one of the few followers who never seems to get a better attitude. I like that.

I’ve had to keep tweaking his skin and hair tones- the various ENBs and skin mods all wreak havoc on the darker tones and make it very difficult to balance out shots with other characters. I think  I was able to do pretty well for Ahtar here, but the Spring Forest Overhaul and Snowfall Weathers helped quite a bit. The grass mod is either Short Grass or Veydosebrom depending on the shot.

ENBs which have good interior settings don’t work well with darker skin tones– they tend to render them much lighter. I think there’s a limit to what can be done without making an interior area that has outdoor lighting.

None of these pics have anything to do with Ahtar’s backstory for me, sadly– but they turned out so good I couldn’t let them gather dust.
