About this blog

With the hindsight of playing the Mass Effect series and The Witcher 3, this time round coming back to Skyrim there was just something lacking - the absence of any romantic content whatsoever with characters you can potentially spend much longer with than in the other titles.  

 

Fortunately I already had a knowledge of modding, it was just a matter of applying it to a more creative purpose.  I decided to set up a virtual photo studio. 

 

My Skyrim character's downtime consists of equal measures Hugh Hefner and Austin Powers.  Nothing like a few candid photos to release the tension.

 

These are the ladies of Skyrim, and some of the mods that helped bring them to you.

Mods Behind the Scenes - Iona: The Glow Up

I decided to alternate my blog entries between pictorials and more informational pieces.   This is what Iona looked like before I'd used any mods, from the Skyrim Wiki:         FAIR SKIN COMPLEXION   Now, thanks to a single mod she's ready for her close-up.  The mod I use for my pics is called Fair Skin Complexion, and as well as providing improved skin textures for CBBE and 3BBB bodies, it gives you the option of changing the face makeup of ne

Jordis Sword Maiden & Nimue, Sparring After Dark; Pictorial Slideshow

I've been experimenting with using slideshows as a way to conveniently package larger pictorials for a while now; it wasn't until I was looking at an action-oriented set I'd done that 1 variable could make a lot of difference - the length of the slides themselves.  Thinking about it, giving all my pics an even 5 seconds failed to do justice to the ones I really wanted to stand out; some work better as setting the stage with a few quick shots before the one you want the viewer's attention to real

Girls of Skyrim 2.0 Pictorial - Serana

This is Serana, fourth member of the hit squad I've put together during my time in Skyrim.  The idea for this series of pictorials was to show what each follower looks like both in battle while wearing their armour, and during more relaxed times when you can see what's hiding behind it.

Girls of Skyrim 2.0 Pictorial - Iona

My first playthrough of Skyrim on Master difficulty has been an interesting experience. Because of the increased challenge, having an able warrior at your side becomes a lot more important at least early on. Survival really becomes a matter of cooperation with your follower in some cases and it builds a deeper sense of connection with them.   I've found the increased intensity and importance of the bond I share with my followers in battle has really increased the quality of downtime I

Girls of Skyrim 2.0 - Lydia, Hearts of Light and Shadow (Photo Mode Mod Demo)

Until today what I've been referring to in this blog as "photography" would more accurately be referred to as "POV Camera" similar to what you can see in many adult videos.    Real photographers don't have to take their camera intimately close to shoot intimate photos; this was just something I accepted I had to do because this was the only achievable modding solution I could access.  Using free camera without the ability to just zoom in/out was just something I put up with.

Girls of Skyrim 2.0 - Iona and the Door Through the 4th Wall

In the city of Whiterun, set into the wall by the entry to the Hall of the Dead, there is a door that shouldn't exist.  Behind the door lies a photo studio which is rumored to have dimensions far greater than would be possible without the use of powerful magics.   This, much as Apocrypha was to Miraak, is the Dragonborn's personal realm.   You can find it here:   https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/84524
