Nora's story made it to three full chapters and you can catch up on some of the old content on my blog's summary page with the recently added short summary of chapter 3. I am planning to update the page with more background information as well as some updates on new and old characters as chapter 4 progresses.

Just in case for those of you who haven't been following from the beginning, but Nora used to have black hair until mid chapter 2, that's why she has a different hair color in the flashback scene.
This entry was more of a setup for the upcoming stuff, introducing some new characters etc. Not sure about the Queen's dress though, but at least it has that kafkaesk feel I was trying to achieve...

Wow, you really put a lot of effort into this part! Arranging all those characters like that must have taken a while. Did you design them yourself? (The non-vanilla one's, obviously). They look fantastic! Though not much happened, I really liked this part. If there was a gathering of vampires, this EXACTLY how it would be done. Great work!

nice work alter native! is it me or does the queen look alot like nora's thrall/pet girl?

 

Thank you!

They are both blond... and share the idealistic unpb body but that's about it. It it would actually be quite nice if the Queen was indeed Amelie and it was all some kind of weird dream.

Thanks. The arrangement can be quite annoying as you know. The biggest problem is that halo doesn't have a single normal chair sitting animation. One better doesn't start if you haven't 3+ hours to work on the scene with so many actors.

I didn't design any of them but tweaked some followers a bit. I don't have a quick way to design characters and export them as followers. I know, you but a lot of work in your characters and it really shows.

I laughed so much at the shots of Nora falling sleep haha

 

Mileena: Why was I not invited to this meeting?

Nicely done. I like the scene of the blond girl in the white dress walking through the corridor the most. Very beautiful. The contrast of the ambient and the the white dress are excellent.

Technically she's just daydreaming, I'm not sure if vampires are supposed to dream.

@Mileena, Harkon was against inviting her, I guess they are just careful.

Thanks find myself only using black and red for vampires, so choosing white dress was a concision decision, even though it looks a bit silly now.

Interesting to see Harkon under someone, considering Molag Bal himself turned him vampire and he is pretty much ancient.

 

This is pretty much what I would imagine an meeting of the Vampyrum Order of Cyrodiil. :)

 

Great work :D.

Nice work, and big work too. I watched your other chapters and sections. You are a great storyteller and you give life to the story.

I like how you build scenes..like a comic.

 

Lot of efforts..i like.

Thanks, the Queen is ancient too and more powerful then Harkon.

Thank you very much!

 

How you do that with lighting is amazing. 

 

Thanks, it's mostly facelight for the characters. The other lights are done via the creation kit.

Awesome gathering of characters ;) You have a bunch of vampire clothes I've been wanting for my game ;) Nicely put together Well Done :D

I've got only one thing to say :

 

WHERE ARE THE ONOMATOPOEIA, DAMNIT ! :D;)

 

 

Jokes aside, I like both the credible scenery for a hierarchic vampire meeting (we get to learn more about your universe) ; and the humor of Nora's reaction to it. The memory was also inserted just a the right moment, and nothing to say about following the events. Great start for that chapter. :)

Thank you :).

Honestly, I can't think of a single instance in this entry where I would have used onomatopoeia.

Your words are tearing my very sou! Gonna have to watch an entire Asterix album for my day to shine again. :(

 

 

Aaand, that's precisely why i was a joke. Sort of self-criticism let's say. ;)

So the left guy is wearing Contractor armor, the other guy is this follower with his default outfit. There are way to few male followers on the nexus and I was just using him because he looked somewhat vampirc and undead.

Nora is wearing Lady Elegance that I retextured and the Queen is wearing Ling Dress, which is available in cbbe as well.

I've been reading this and I love it!

 

I have a question though, when Nora and that guy were together it said 700 years ago, but she is 400. Was she reincarnated or is it a typo?

That's a 1 not a 7 ;), so it says 100 years ago.

It never occurred to me that there might be room for mistakes, but I know in some countries 1 and 7 look a bit different.

Technisch gesehen träumt sie nur, ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob Vampire träumen sollen.

@Mileena, Harkon war dagegen, sie einzuladen, ich denke, sie sind nur vorsichtig.

 

 

Danke, dass ich nur Schwarz und Rot für Vampire verwende, also war die Wahl eines weißen Kleides eine knappe Entscheidung, auch wenn es jetzt ein bisschen albern aussieht.

 

Alle in schwarz und rot - da muss eine Königin heraus stechen - die Wahl des weissen Kleides ist aus meiner Sicht absolut perfekt

jaja - langweilige Staatsangelegenheit - da merkt man das sie "wild" aufgewachsen ist

I have only now discovered this for myself


Although I've been a member of this forum for a few months - I only discovered the "BlogS" area for me a good 8 weeks ago


First I dealt with the stories in which a translation program was able to translate the texts into my native German language for me

Unfortunately, without these aids, I understand very poorly what I have heard or read in English


But there is a -> BUT


Your story is told in a very fascinating way by the pictures themselves - you just have to get involved with their "rhythm".

The text almost becomes a kind of "minor matter" - the linguistic context is often revealed from the images themselves


and yes - I like her Nora

she's NOT a glittery vampire princess - she's a (I'll paraphrase) fashion icon of evil heroines

(and the heart of the fetishist and BDSMer beats much faster)

Spoiler

ich habe das erst jetzt für mich entdeckt

 

zwar bin ich schon einige Monate in diesem Forum Mitglied - jedoch habe die den Bereich der "BlogS" erst vor gut 8 Wochen für mich entdeckt

 

zunächst habe ich mich mit den Erzählungen beschäftigt in denen einem Übersetzungs-Programm die Texte für mich in meine deutsche Heimat-Sprache überführen konnte

leider verstehe ich gehörtes oder gelesenes Englisch ohne diese Hilfen sehr schlecht

 

es gibt aber ein -> ABER

 

Ihre Geschichte wird in sehr faszinierender Weise von den Bildern selbst erzählt - man muss sich nur auf deren "Rythmus" einlassen

Der Text wird fast zu einer Art "Nebensache" - der sprachliche Kontext erschliesst sich oft aus den Bildern selbst

 

und ja - ich mag ihre Nora

sie ist eben KEINE Glitzer-Vampire-Prinzessin - sie ist eine (ich umschreibe es mal) Mode-Ikonie der bösen Heldinnen

(und das Herz der Fetischistin und BDSMerin schlägt deutlich höher)
