Chapter 4 - Hard Reminders
If you missed chapter 3: http://www.loverslab.com/blog/182/entry-743-chapter-3-home-sweet-home/
Tolfdir walked with Alania into the college. She recieved a few stares from various people. When they reached the gate, a woman named Colette
sneared at her. "Now we're taking in strays I see. And what is the little savage here to do?"
Tolfir repremanded her, "That is no way to treat or guest. She is the only nord I've ever heard about living with giants. She could
Because I want to do this right, in a way that satisfies my own sensibilities. "Road map" might be overselling it a bit, really, but I'm gonna take a stab at this anyway.
I'm a designer by education and I think about characters in a particular way; I believe appearance should be a reflection of function and of character.
Heavy armor, especially, should - by default - be "protective" looking. In most respects I feel like it can safely be pretty much identical to the male variation (women
So I thought I'd make a blog, given I see so many other people posting them on here. This will help me keep track of things I've promised to do, and progress I make on them that doesn't require updates to my files. Do note, I only work on Skyrim mods, as of yet, not Fallout or other games featured on here.
My projects, with summaries:

This project started as me stomping my foot and going "Why can't Khajiits wear devious gags?! Everyone neglects the furr
Had to restart the Temple Of Black Rock dungeon this morning so I could finally complete it... It's a very long, very hard dungeon and if you don't follow the right path, it's nearly impossible to get out of there without cheating with console commands. Every time you try to backtrack into an earlier cell, everything resets so you have to fight the same mobs of monsters all over again. It borders on infuriating... but I wanted to finish it without cheating so I could fight the last boss and get
Was redoing my armored bikini conversion from scratch and realized that bikini-trouble used the same meshes, so...
Changed the bottoms to use slot 52 for better compatibility/standardization between mods. Should be ready to post them in my download section later - today or tomorrow. Along with a revised version of the armored ones.
Update - My regular job is kicking in high gear until October 1st at least, so I won't around much for the next two weeks.
I am still working on changes to the relationship system between master and slave in SD+, but the pace of work will dramatically reduced for a while.
I am hoping to spend a lot more time on this in October, with hopefully a Halloween release like I did last year with Alicia.
My plan is to finish the next stage of updates for SD+ in October so I can spend Novembe
Texture WIP.
I really miss feeling like I'm allowed to be happy about shit like this. Unfortunately my home life isn't exactly friendly to the whole 'happiness' thing.
I do what I do and I put it out here because I'm between jobs, kept too busy and tired to actually find one, and because this stuff - modeling, texturing, converting, tweaking, developing new skills, whatever - this is the one thing that actually uses my brain and relaxes me a little.
But the second I try and talk abo
What a mess.
So... I happen to like game concepts pertaining to love, and relationships. Meanwhile, the typical game is more about killing and violence. Oh, and life is insane, in how we deal with all of these issues.
So never mind that. My blog subtitle looks like a mess.
So never mind that... I shall ruminate, instead.
When I first played skyrim, there were various conversational issues which I wish had played out differently. I wanted NPCs to admire me. Or, failing that, to re
Chapter 3 - Home Sweet Home
Here is chapter 2 if you missed it: http://www.loverslab.com/blog/182/entry-739-chapter-2-small-and-wounded/
Alania had spent almost a year with the giants and her former life was a fading memory.
She traveled and hunted with them and even learned how to handle mammoths but by giant standards, her methods were a bit unorthadox.
Over time, word had gotten out about a human girl was living with giants and ocassionally an adventurer would try t
For this story I am trying something different. I thought it would be interesting to see a character grow up through the course of the stories. I haven't done a story like this for LL before and I haven't seen one like it either. I'm talking about a bit more than just character progression.
I intend for Alania to meet some of our characters (Tamaria has already been seen) and for her to show us a piece of Skyrim we've been missing. Things like the side stories sprinkled around and expanding
I think Uncle Sheo has been slipping skooma into my food. I'm not sure how else this story took this turn. Enjoy.
Chapter 2 - Small and Wounded
Alania woke up in the Riverwood in. She saw a new set of clothes on the table.
After changing, she left the room and walked into the inn proper. She looked around for her rescuer but couldn't find her. The innkeeper noticed her and said, "If you're looking for that tan woman, don't bother. She left after dropping you off and paying for y
The latest addition to my armor workshop.
As a side note, I just spent like, thirty seconds crouching and standing up rapidly to watch the HDT physics make her breasts bounce...
... good god, I don't even know anymore.
When I convert meshes for Skyrim from another source (oblivion, another game, etc), or when editing clothes for a custom body, I use blender. A lot of the blender functionality is still unknown for me - my focus on bringing pervy clothes and environments help me learn it pretty much
One of the things i find myself doing a lot is:
deleting the materials of a mesh
creating a new material
creating a new texture
setting the texture mode to UV
assign an image to the texture

Chapter 1 - Down in a Hole
Bandit 1: "Maybe we could ransom her to someone."
Bandit 2: "We've already killed her parents, no one is gonna pay for some snot nosed brat."
Bandit 3: "I think it's funny she tried to fight. All it took was one hit to knock her out."
Bandit 1: "I've got it. We'll make her work the mine and clean up after us. Bring her along."
Alania wasn't allowed time to grieve. She was forced to mine ore in bandit mine day in and d

Screenies:
Another version of Open Skies Trading Post has been uploaded.
I added a LOD door and interior called "The Crown's Courier." This will be the headquarters of the courier service that will be the mailmen between the player and suppliers/potential suppliers. I actually navmeshed it, even though it is small, put a little clutter around. There are no couriers yet; there is much that I have to learn, and I intend to work systematically, as in all things.
I also lengthened the work space at OST
So yeah! Some asshole pisses me off and steals my shit and because of it you guy get a blog update!
AAAAAANYWHO.....
SO ya, as I told you guys 2 months or so ago, I would NOT be around this summer ( in the USA ) due to 3 factors:
1) My wife has a new WELL paying Union Job but has to work 1pm to 1am. This leads to 2...
2) My kids didn't get to go to the Jersey shore and be with my sister this summer like they do every year ( she had her own damn problems, OK?! ). As a Stay At Home
I really like location mods, especially ones that have modern locations that I can have my models dressed up in 'real life' situations.
There aren't that many 'modern' location mods in Skyrim. The one that's really notable is Halo's Aether Suite mod, which is simply amazing. There's photo studios, a school, and a couple bars that have this futuristic feel and it's really well done.
I am not artistic though, and I'm pretty sure I won't be able to create something from scratch. What I've b
Featuring a recent success or two.
The glasses were made from scratch in 3ds max 2014. Baby steps...
The gloves are a frankenstein project I put together using the cuffs from the original Catwoman gloves, the vampire gloves from Dawnguard, and a modified version of bethesda's highres texture I put together in Photoshop.
