What about this?

Perfect NPCs as always, plus you saved me with that correction of the feet of the lady :lol:

I really find it hard to return to these NPCs as Ive spend way too much time on them ( as u can see in all the versions ive posted... Im not a artist, at least I was not 2 years back, so getting them to this level was taxing for me) ...thank you!

Artifacts are great as well, Id just maybe tone down the brightness of some of the golden parts of the ring... but maybe it will look good once ingame, needs some testing. Rose turned out nicely as well. Reflections on the ankh too. Great job!

I used some of the later game lore when it had consistent themes:

Wow what an amazing execution!
I love how you included the lore of the more recent TES games, just awesome :geek:

I have to disagree on the horns on the masque of no-one recognizes you. I think the smooth masque fits the theme better. :)
Previous experience tells me it's very easy to misunderstand the tone, intent, or meaning of what I've posted. If you have questions, ask.

hmm, but in all later games, Bethesda decided to make it look like this, so its the lore I guess?
Opinions on this might differ ofc.. im not biased towards any side atm

PS: Its a deadric artefact from "Clavicus Vile" so (s)he also did not wear a fancy mask, but something more... vile? :) She is a deadric princess
I wonder, why she wears a mustache tho? :D Maybe its better not to dwell on the lore too much, makes one head spinning

I think the original mask was fine too.

I was just adding details to line it up with future games, since I didn't have a lot else to go on to make the masque more interesting.

As for the question about mustached ladies: the Daedra "princes" are not so named because princes are male, but because Princes inherit the throne: Daedra "Princes" have no gender so to speak: they appear how they want to appear, generally attractive since it makes people more willing to oblige them.

Edit: Trying my hand at some vegetation:

I know it's lore. I still don't like that bit of lore. :)

Edit: Maybe "don't like" is too strong. It doesn't make thematic sense to me.

I already experienced burn out in the past, so I can understand that.
That's also why I treat high dedication with honor and gratefulness ;)
