I have a little mod that I call Phayze's http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=8389 Mod (PDAM for short) that I've been working on pretty much since day-one of Creation Kit availabilty. In short, my mod allows players to build special dwemer automata that follow them around and kill things. Neat, right?
I know, I know - Dwemer Certified does that, too, and so do several other mods, but mine takes a slightly different approach to the theme in what may be a hopeless struggle to stand out.
Anyway, the reason I'm posting here is that I want for my next update to include some unique visual elements, but sadly I'm too busy bashing my brains out over learning papyrus to have the time to develop the artistic skills that I would need to create that sort of thing on my own.
So, basically, I'm putting out a general call for support from texture and model artists who might be interested in helping me add a little visual juice to my mod. I'm currently using vanilla dwemer clutter items as place-holder meshes for things like specialized upgrade components and automaton repair kits, and relying on magic FX shaders to differentiate the types of upgraded units. Unique meshes and textures for these things would really help this mod to stand out and reach new level of appeal!
I'd also really love to have some completely original automaton types to add to the mod - even vanilla creatures retextured to look mechanical would be really great! An over-sized mechanical wolf for mount, maybe? Metal torchbugs that follow you around and light your surroundings? A Dwemer "android" race with metallic skin?
If you're interested in helping my mod out with your skills, please please please reply here, or send me a PM. I feel like Dwemer Artificer has a lot of potential, but I'm just not a one-man-band sort of a guy when it comes to this sort of thing.
If nothing else, I'd be eternally grateful for a mechanical chicken texture.
What? No, I'm not joking. I really want one!
Anyway, thanks for taking the time to read this far, and thanks in advance to anyone who considers actually contributing!
