    So, this armor called Shaman Robes, have already been showcased when I worked my way through Immersive Armors. I didn't know it was included in this mod I'm showcasing now, Luddemanns Armory. That said, it's one of my favorite armors for male characters, so I decided to show it again, especially since the images turned out quite great if I may say so myself. It's also after midnight here in Sweden, so it's technically Monday...

    Enjoy!

    I love this armor as well. I started a male Orc and had him in this armor and then I created Gyllena instead for the stories. I think she would like that axe too! Nice shots Rick.

      It's a great male piece of armor, it sure is! It's so sad the female version looks...weird and boring really, because it doesn't really resemble the male version at all and I feel so much cool things could've been done if making a female version of that very same male one. Instead we got a purple, loose-fitting dress with parts of yellow and hanging meat chunks?! Nah, that one should've been redone!

      The axe looks great with wonderful details, it's one of the Andragorn axes...

      Like I've told the others, it was a tremendous day for some Skyrm captures! The fog was just so soft and silky, and being in the Rift did help out a lot too of course!

      Thank you!

    The second shot is my favorite landscape here with that shadow and fog.
    I can't believe you are not doing any staging at all and getting such images, impressive as always Rick

      Yeah, those forest shots from the Rift looked just magical in the game, so I'm glad some of the misty atmosphere could be captured. I love mist and rain myself, so when this happens in Skyrim, during travels, I sit here with a big grin like a child on Christmas morning!

      Well, I've practiced a lot, I'd say. I've done pretty much the same thing since I started screenarchery, only it was in Vanilla at the start and then the visual improvements have been added a long the way, just as using an ENB. I also try to be rather selective regarding the poses I use, so I don't just smack up anything. I like it when the pose adds something to the rest of the images. Since I write a lot too, and see myself as a storyteller firstly and a screenarcher secodnly, I believe it helos me to "think in the terms" of a tale. It doesn't always work of course, but I'd say I've got a decent hang of it at least by now. Thank you for the very heart-warming words, Alex!

    These shorts are way too good not to show, even though you have showcased this armour before

      I'm not sure I'd call them shorts, but I don't know the word for a "male skirt" either so...!

      And no, it's not a kilt, not at all...

      Important thing is he wears them shorts/skirts well!

    Ah! A fine specimen of manhood! I don't mind at all that you've shown this armor before (though tbh, I don't rightly remember ) Excellent pics!

      If I'm not mistaken the armor was showcased by an elf mage inside Kilkreath Ruins, so I guess this fellow changes things up a bit at least, being a bit bigger and a chesty barbarian!

      Thank you, my dear!

    Nice character, I like his face paint. If the blue was white and his hair black, he would make a good fit for a death metal band, lol.
    Two of my characters use this armour. I wish there was more bare chested armour for my male orcs and barbarians.
    Also more male poses.

      You should hear him growl "Dragonborn comes" on a party Friday night!

      Male armors have been added decently at least, there are some cool ones around, but I agree on the lack of barbarian outfits! There should be far more varied versions of fur and hide armors! Male poses are the worst, because you have so few of them and you always end up using the same which makes it quite boring...sadly, because I play both male and female characters.

    Yays, some truly fabulous male characters showing up today. ^-^
    I just cannot decide whether your character or the images are sexier, lols. Awesome work on him and on all of the images. The music helped draw me right into them too, great choice.
    And that first shot of the forest after the stag is an exceptionally beautiful image, among so many stunning screenies.

    The shaman robes are great, I agree, I have them on Derkeethus as a follower for a couple of my chars.

      I say I have a lot of male characters, but still it often ends up with me showcasing females. Not sure why that is, because I like playing both genders, but for some reason I seem to favorite playing female, always have. In the case of Skyrim, they're far more fun to pose. There are few poses for male characters, so it tends to get a bit tedious after a while...unless you have a really awesome character!

      Some really beautiful landscapes in this set, I have to admit. I was stunned in the game, nearly got jumped by that dragon too!

      And yes, the Shaman Robes are excellent for any kind of wise, yet wild character. It's a sad thing the female version looks mostly weird, but I guess the ladies have enough outfits to pick from.

      And thank you of course!

      It's certainly true the ladies have a lot more to choose from, so I am very grateful for those who also make male outfits. I most often play female characters, just feel natural I guess, but I most often have male followers because that's what I'm attracted to personally, and variety in life is what makes the world, even the universe (and beyond is my guess) such beautiful and inspiring places. Within all cultures of humanity, the infinite variety of people and their many different types of expression are what makes our species beautiful too.
      This one of the greatest mysteries to me that there is so much intolerance amongst much of humanity, but then the fight for freedom is another one of those beautiful expressions. So perhaps I should more tolerant of the intolerant, because in this regard they actually are a part of what makes us beautiful as a species. Without them freedom wouldn't be something to strive for, and there would be far less need for heroes, lols.

      The world would truly be a better - and friendlier - place if everyone had the same perspective. I've never really understood the resistance against diversity. In Sweden the winds of nationalism are blowing stronger than ever, which makes me sad because we have always been a very liberal and open people, but it seems to be a change in most of Europe nowadays. Most claim it has to do with protecting the legacy and origin of a land/culture, but why would this be erased only because we have open borders? We can still be proud of our long history and tend to traditions without being narrow-minded, but it doesn't seem as if the majority believe in this any longer...probably because these ideals have been more or less claimed by racists and ultra-extremist groups. It's a really bad circle, I tell you...

      Thank you very much, Ivan! I was on a roll this travel day in Skyrim. The landscapes and the weather were just perfect for screenshots...

      The forest shots in this set really gets me, I must admit. I started screenarchery as a landscape "photographer" only, so landscapes are still very dear to me. In this travel the whole Rift just turned into this misty land of sagas. I can totally see the reference to the Robin of Sherwood tv-serie too...

      Thank you!
