A Smattering of more Books pics

I am thinking about breaking my potentially WIP mod idea into a couple, with one being much more of a modder's resource than I was originally thinking.  You could think of these as proof of concept ideas instead of copywrite rip-off attempts, but with the derivative nature of just about all art I feel I'm a grey area.

 

Anyway, I'm going to post the pictures and solicit opinions. For some of these, the image author's name was used as a book other or referenced one way or another.  The wording is all my own.

 

This first one could be the idea for a new skill book, Sneak or something Thief stone related

Potentially 4th wall breaking, or just parody type - bringing Earth fables and faerie tales to Nirn.  Who says they don't have something similar to our children's bedtime tales.

For the partially literate bandits, how to guides with full page pictures might be appropriate...

A whole variety of books with lore based explanations of game mechanics, either natural or mod added, could spice up the world.  All we would need are relevant images and a little bit of text to go with them.  These images have been reduced to 305 or 308 pixels wide by 400 to 450 high (depending on if they have text under them, enough space for several lines, or run right to the bottom) which does reduce the amount of detail you can have.  I have had to discard a number of images I tried to use because I just could not capture enough of the picture, or enough of the detail, at that size.

Hmm, I think illustrations are great, though perhaps some of them does not fit into skyrim's setting. (Apple Upset & PPPP)

 

 

Another suggestion is to perhaps add a filter effect to the images, to deal with the sharp corners of the pictures. Eg, is the Cassandra Frost Witch manual below:

I have thought about filtering to create a more paint looking effect but adding a border for the sharp edges. I often don't want to lose a few pixels on each edge to do so though.

 

Images taken from in game do seem too photo-realistic and that was a discussion point on one of my other posts. Haven't really done too many of those, but a proof of concept of pictures of bondage furniture for a Zaz related mod (I think) I have posted here someplace.

 

4th wall breaking stories and other non Skyrim setting things either need more of an implication of what their TES equivalent would be, or just reserve them for comedic or 4th wall content.
