My brother and I are undoubtedly two of the biggest Skyrim fans in the world. As proof of this, my brother (who happens to be Tyler Kirkham of DC Comics fame) recently designed & completed his basemant with a Skyrim theme. Trust me when I say this was a work of pure love and admiration for the game. Naturally I couldn't resist taking pics to show you guys, and I'm sure you will appreciate it... I couldn't contain the goosebumps when I first saw the finished result last night. He even had the Skyrim soundtrack playing. gstaff, a link on bethblog.com would certainly rock. This work deserves to be shown!! Now, onto the tour... (pics taken in normal lighting because I was using my phone)

Cool wall decorations. Not found in Skyrim, but still adds to the feel.

Clutter in the corner. Treasure chest, sword.... Elder Scroll?!

Bookshelf. Maybe there's a copy of the Lusty Argonian Maid?


[img]http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r546/Mindman79/Tys%20Basemant/IMG_0820_zpsaef352fb.jpg[/img]
More clutter. More scrolls!

This one is really impressive... these candles are all over the game. This one flickers all the same.

Fireplace and mantle. That helmet should look familiar.

Another door. Same ridiculous quality.

Better view of the mantle & helmet, along with trinkets.

Saved the best for last. Map marker into the room itself.



So, what do you guys think? Gotta give a shout out to my bro for the stellar job and tribute to the game. Another one to Bethesda.... you guys are the BEST in the business!

This. Is. AWESOME!

It's pretty bright, I think I would have taken the pics with candlelight only on a low flash setting to make it look less modern.

Haha, oh my... I don't really get the Skyrim vibe from the place, but it's still pretty impressive. You need one of the Skyrim chests, an alchemy table, and other highly recognizable props.

Just needs to be darker and 50 degrees cooler

Umm, it has a chest, alchemy stuff, and plenty of recognizable stuff from the game. lol

It doesn't look anything like the ingame chests :/.

Dude.

Just admire the hard work, n'wah!

Come decorate my house!

Thats AWESOME!

Awesome, true devotion...

That is awesome!!!!
Must have taken a lot of work!

I...want...this!

i love it.

Very nice setup, congrats I'd like to have something like that but I don't have the space or the resources.

Good stuff
Loved that last picture.

how much does it costs for you guys to do my House like that but with all the elder scrolls and not just skyrim?

*Dovakhan comes in, Fus-Ro-Dah'es the owners, takes possession of the house...

So unique. Good work and congrats.

Hmm...River Betty (2) in the barrell!

Just brilliant!

Wow. That is just incredibly fantastic. 10/10, 5 Stars, 100% PLACE ALL THE SUPERLATIVES!!!!

Very good work, I wish i could visit.


At night, to steal the coins.

This is insane and awesome at the same time. How do I fast travel there?

That's dedication right there, great work!
