[REQz] Dwarven Architecture

[DanielJ97]

Hey everyone,

I'm currently working on a new world project adding a dwarven land to Oblivion. So, I was wondering if you could possibly make me some architecture that would be able to be attributed to the dwarves. I just need house's, and if possible walls. If you could do this it'd be great.

Thanks a lot,

Daniel

P.S. I thought i'd better include a background on the dwarves I'm using because their not the normal Dwemer Dwarves you get, Here's the description that I use for the actual race:

________________

The Surface Dwarfs are close desendents of the Nord's and are known to have came from Carleto City. Carleto can only be accessed via a mountain tunnel. Those who visited the city have came back telling that the city is largely outside with only the tunnel in a mountain. But due to that fact it has always been known as 'The Mountain City' the name has been kept.

Surface Dwarfs are different from normal dwarfs, who prefer to live underground. Back before Saint Alessia, there was a giant dwarven community underground. But, when the King Maugnil Stonehammer, came to the throne, some of the dwarfs opposed him. Stonehammer ordered that these dwarfs be kicked out of his lands and sent to the surface. So, thats what the Kings followers did. They left the traitors on a large island, where they settled, and built the city of Carleto. Later the Dwarfs, began to be known as "Surface Dwarfs". And that is what they are known as know as well.

The dwarfs are greatly skilled in the arts of;

Blunt and Hand-to-hand fighting

Blocking attacks

Armory

And there stone sculpting skills make them great at security.

The dwarven race is not particulary skilled at agility or speed. They are not bad at magic though, well in certian aspects of it. Their main skill is the art of Restoration.

The dwarves aren't particullary fond of the elves either. They both look down on each other.

And if you can't help can you give me some pointers on where to go to get what I'm needing? Thanks again.

IMPORTANT INFO

This is the design I need the buildings in. Or something along these lines.

So, if I understand correctly, those dwarves are a sub-race of Dwemers that were forced to live on the surface, rather than underground? If yes, then are there any particular reasons for why their architecture should be different from this created by "normal" Dwemers?

If you will change your mind in that matter, then there's a great tileset for this purpose: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=20241

I understand that your Surface Dwarves are estranged from the Dwemer, and in a different land. That would make their architecture different.

Any ideas as to how you want the new style to look? Pictures would help you get a modeler interested.

I just need like the way a dwarven surface city would look. The buildings like, rocky, solid stone structures. I'll have a look for some pictures later but, think of the dwarven architecture in Lord Of The Rings Battle For Middle Earth 2.

That's interesting stuff and would make a modeler want to recreate it for Oblivion! I'm tempted, but my slate's full. I'll keep watch on this thread though - a few weeks from now I'll have more time.

Good luck - it's a cool idea.

Thanks I'll work on the landscape of the mainland until someone creates the models.

Here are some more pictures as reference pictures, for anyone who wants to help. (:

This is like a Dwarven Fortress.

And i couldn't embed these due to the way that IMDB is made. :S

JUst some of the Building Styles:

But, also these would be quite nice for the human area's of my island.

A full tile set request eh?, Well Good luck finding someone , Hell of a lot of work, not just the modeling but the texturing too.
