The first team diary for Skyrim — “Completely Blue Sky: The Concept of Skyrim” — is now live on the Elder Scrolls community page!
Featuring concept artists Ray Lederer and Adam Adamowicz, the diary offers a full article, over 40 pieces of concept art and a slick concept-to-reality montage video. Head over there now to check it out.
Supporting the article is also the first Skyrim podcast, which you can listen to there, or grab separately in the regular places:
Why were they drawing meat?
Men gotta eat!
Since every item has a 3D model that you can view, I’d imagine they were drawing meat to get a different look for each one. I already have plans to build a mound of mammoth trunks in the corner of my house.
They’re CANNIBALS!!!
Great artwork and love the sharp knife edges armor.
Thanks for this most interesting look into..the inner workings.
for those who don’t get it and have no access to youtube: http://www.tesnexus.com/imageshare/images/212201-1319907624.jpg
female(?) voice:’why are you drawing meat?’
That’s Todd’s voice.
Thanks
– I had issues with the podcast streaming.
@ Squidbear: I can almost hear Hespith’s voice echoing from the Deeproads: ‘Brood-Grizzly!’ ;D
I love listening to these guys talk.
Thanks Nick, I look forward to more of these.
Also, For those of you on Facebook, go “Like” my page I will not Shave till the release of Skyrim 11.11.11
I liked it very very long time ago
Dur! You should not shave *after* Skyrim is released. Not until …ummm until you finish the game!
Be a proper Nord!
I most likely will not shave for months.. I’ll be too busy playing SKYRIM™!!!
Astronomy fans should dare to look Alduin in the eye
That reminds me of….Whats the jerk from SoulCaliber? Nightmare…ya know…before he grew some mutant arm and became a villan
Well the armor does at least
Interviews and podcasts are always interesting. Will check it out.
Just listened to whole podcast. You guys are totally amazing.
Found the end of vid. Howard: Why are you drawing meat?
And the architecture looks interesting, very good. Much better presented than Oblivion.
I love listening to you guys chat. It is so exciting to know that the people in charge of the project are truly enthusiastic about their work. That always signals a good game.
…but has the game gone Gold or what??
The warrior, his armor is very much like Sauron.
I have to admit I always enjoy hearing from the guys at Bethesda. They are passionate about their creation and it makes me want to immerse myself in the world of Skyrim even more. 11-11-11 could not arrive sooner. I feel like this game is going to set the standard for single player fantasy RPGs. I seriously think it’s video game history in the making. It looks that enjoyable.
Please God let there be a version of that awesome piece of concept art that is at least 1366 pixels wide. . .
Is it a bit late to start these diaries? We’ll be following them for the next 2 weeks, but … after that, we might be quite busy!
It’s lame of you to cheapen this page with your uncouth language… you n’wah!
i need a 1600×900 of that pic, stat
The music in that video is one of the best musics I have ever heard in my life. That video is awesome.
a short life..
Please tell me this music is in the game!
nop. is the new album from Rihanna.
So, will we see more diaries soon?
I have prepared everything for 11.11.11
My office chair “butt happy” arrived today, now yes! I can spend hours sitting, without suffering from hemorrhoids.
If you’re interested in the single most important excerpt from Team Diary #1 (with some visual additions), look no further: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7J_b4xuuHc
Cmon give us more! Something! All this waiting this close to release is driving me mad! Maybe just throw us a screenshot or a piece of concept art every day until launch! I need something to wonder at and have a cup of tea
Thank you for this podcast. I appreciate it so much.
