Khajiit caravan clothing, made by @sarsaparillaart and myself for Beyond Skyrim: Elsweyr and showcased as part of the project's annual advent calendar event!

We have disctinct styles for Anequina, Pellitine and a third style present across the province for ancient and religious things - the patterns on these clothes is near that third one, and a little bit to the Anequina side to refer to the nomadic nature of their bearers. The final clothes are also planned to borrow other less unique patterns that would be taken from other provinces.

The clothes were designed to look distinct from their settled cousins, with as much pouches and bags as possible! If they seem pretty empty on the back, it's on purpose, because they'll be wearing backpacks on top of them.

Also, lore friendly cat shades. Hell yeah

Bethesda needs to hire all the "Beyond Skyrim" people and consolidate them into a sister studio that develops smaller spin off TES games a'la Battlespire or Redguard.

I know in reality not all those folks wanna be professional game devs but goddamn that team is insanely talented.

Hello!! Are you the one who made this art? I found it on Pinterest and I’m currently redesigning one of my dnd characters and have been using it as inspiration for his clothes and saw that one of the comments said you made it. Do you by any chance have it tagged so I can find the full thread? Thanks!

Hello! I am indeed. I was aware that it got reposted without context to Pinterest which makes me a bit sad because context is very, very important for this piece!

This was made for the Beyond Skyrim: Elsweyr modding project I am an art director for and have been for years now, as part of a guidelines document I made for my fellow concept artists to explain the direction we are going for to design Khajiit items and artwork. Without this context, it looks like random nitpicking, but it was specifically made for explaining an interpretation of a single fictional culture in the context of a modding project - a big difference!

You can read the entire document here on the itch page, where it is a 100% free PDF download! I also have more work on my art blog @sothasil, you can check my /tagged/beyond skyrim or my /tagged/the elder scrolls, among many others.

I've been working on a sequel to that document on and off which I might format and release to the public some day, too. In the meantime feel free to ask me about anything regarding the project, I am always happy to answer and give information about what we do and my roles on the team over the years :)

A model of a war hammer I finished recently. It was intended for Beyond Skyrim: Valenwood, but I was too slow with making it, so another artist already made it :D But well, at least I have a nice piece in my portfolio now.

If you like it and have an artstation account, please consider liking it there, it would mean a lot to me:

Clothing set I recently finished for BS Elsweyr. Meant to have a casual version for monks to chill in and a training set equipped with bells for extra challenge.

Originally based on some sketches done by @sothasil but at this point the design has been ship of Theseus'd into oblivion.
