About this image

It's not clothing or armour...well at this stage anyway

I'm planning a thief character and well there's not enough interesting/unique things to fence so i'm adding more scattered around Cyrodiil. I've a list of quite a few i'm working on but these are just the first two. Planned are various expensive foods and spices with long shelf lives, imported cloth bolts, a relic or two, various family heirlooms and maybe even a weapon, shield or piece of jewellery. There will be a book explaining the lore behind each item and where to swipe it. Most will be decorative and good for displaying in your homes or fencing (the intended purpose) with decent gold value but some will be functional (as food, potions, wearable jewellery etc) I'm going for lore friendly, some will be things familiar from other TES games/regions and one I know is going to be something that will end up in Calixto's collection in two hundred years in Skyrim but that's a surprise.

The two shown above are:

Tamika's Grape Statuette (something i've decided was commissioned by Tamika herself to celebrate the success of her winery in recent years)
Model Ship (they're always in demand for buyers of suspiciously obtained goods)

Note: The gold leaf gold grape leaves look weird in this image because Nifskope is showing the transparency odd when somethings under it so half the leaves look cut off on this angle as for the ship... I don't know much about ships but I did the best I could do with the various tapestries, cups, posts and rowboat parts) These only took six hours of solid work to make and most of that was making the ships mesh so I should be able to have time to do a decent amount of them and keep the momentum going seeing progress made.

I might even end up making a full set of thief armour (i'm considering a version of Skyrim's Nightingale armour) or possibly a retexture for the guild armour but it's undecided at this stage. It's just started so I don't know where this mods going to go (or when it will be done i'm unpredictable like that) but i'm having fun making random little objects out of random pieces i've thrown together like modding Lego :)

      Hehe I had fun making that little model ship Just imagining tiny little model people standing on it.

      Thought i'd try a mod a bit different from my usual ones, back to making little items and texturing them to get my creativity back and have a bit of fun making something Oblivion could use more of, stuff for thieves to fence :D
