The Dead Sea Scrolls are on display at the Jordan Museum in Amman, Jordan. Scroll number 28a shown here was found in Cave Qumran 1 near the Dead Sea in the occupied West Bank between 1947 and 1956.
Or, more correctly, Skyrim figure ideas. I'll replay Morrowind and Oblivion this week, and then have a go at some characters from them.
Standing in front is an idea for a regular citizen. Yeah, you've seen him before. I figured that I may as well throw him in there, since he was supposed to be a Skyrim character in the first place.
Left to right, we have an idea for a Stormcloak soldier. I don't have that helmet in an appropriate color, but I will obviously change it when I do get one. The good thing about this combination, is that it doesn't matter whether you prefer yellow or flesh figures, as you can modify it simply enough for either.
Next is a cheap idea for fur armor. Part of the design process I suppose. The same can be said for my Greybeard figure. It was just a thought I had.
Next, we have a Necromancer. I think that torso suits them well, as in game, they have a glowing green logo on their robes, although it is in the shape of a skull.
Finally, we have a skeleton. I took a look at some reference pictures, and decided that that combination of skeleton parts is the best purist combination. It works perfectly for a Cyrodiil skeleton, but the Skyrim ones have glowing blue eyes. Close enough, I suppose.
Manuscript title: Zürich, Braginsky Collection, S7: Megillah Esther (מגילת אסתר) / Esther Scroll
Manuscript summary: The Esther story in this megillah (pl. megillot) isn't presented as an historic drama, but rather as a funny satire. The character of Alsatian Jewish life is captured in the ornamentation of the scroll: the whimsical imagery includes peasant figures in colorful local costume and reflections of folk humor. Lively figures, several shown strolling with walking sticks in hand and others gesturing, are interspersed with human busts, owls, and a gargoyle, while the Hebrew text is arranged within octagonal frames approximately 6 cm high. The few known Alsatian megillot share several distinctive characteristics, such as a bright palette of yellow, red, and green; stocky robust figures; and large vibrant flowers. In this Braginsky Collection Esther scroll, the women wear red or blue garments with yellow corselets laced in front, whereas the men are depicted wearing, amongst others, traditional white ruffs, red or blue jackets with culottes, and a variety of hats.
Origin: Alsace (France)
Period: second half of the 18th century

Some Lumen ENB test shots.
I like fog BTW.
---------------------
From the video game The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, heavily modded (e.g. countless 2K and 4K texture mods)
ENB (graphics mod) used:
Lumen ENB 1-2-266 by jafin16 alias Jonathan, binary v0.266.
Taken with FRAPS in .png format @ 3440x1440 (my monitor's native resolution). Not edited (with Gimp, Photoshop or the likes), straight from the game.
On some shots, I used freecam or noclip and a custom FOV (console commands: tfc 1 for freecam, sucsm [value] for custom camera movement speed, tcl for noclip, fov [insert value] for the desired field of view) for an individual angle.
I also sometimes force weathers (console command for example: fw 10e1f2 for vanilla clear weather type)
If you have any questions (about mods for example), feel free to ask me ;)
Thank you for looking! :D

Vernissage der ersten gemeinsamen Ausstellung von Ali Görmez (50 FACES & MORE) und Wolfgang Brückner (STRUKTUR-
FORSCHER) im Waldorf Astoria Berlin (19. Etage) - 27. März 2015
* Ali Görmez *
Ob im Fahrstuhl, auf der Straße, im Büro oder auf Veranstaltungen. Gesichter sind allerorts. Überall treffen wir auf sie und beginnen sie in unterschiedliche Situationen einzuordnen, Mimiken zu deuten und zu verstehen. In Gesichtern finden wir unser Verständnis, unsere Zugehörigkeit, unsere Abneigungen und eigene Tiefen.
Auch Pop Art Künstler Ali Görmez liebt Gesichter. Dabei geht es nicht um das Einschätzen und Zuordnen von Schönheit. Denn der Künstler weiß, dass sich Gesichter schnell verstellen können, um sich unverwundbar, stark oder kompetent zu zeigen. Er weiß auch, dass das, was vielleicht im ersten Moment gelingen mag, auf den zweiten verblasst.
Für Ali Görmez sind Gesichter Geschichten und Emotionen. Emotionen, in die er eintauchen möchte. Dabei sucht der Künstler die Tür, um hinter die Fassade blicken zu können, um die Geschichte und das Erlebte zu lesen und den Umgang mit diesem zu verstehen.
* Wolfgang Brückner *
Ausgangspunkt für das Projekt STRUKTURFORSCHER war u.a. die Beobachtung, dass die Identität und Besonderheiten der Lage von Gebäuden und Wohnanlagen meist in den Innenräumen schlagartig verschwindet. Selbst große prunkvolle Bauwerke verlieren in ihren Innenräumen schnell an Ausstrahlung. Und wenn Kunst Teil der Inneneinrichtung ist, hat sie selten einen logischen Zusammenhang mit den Gebäuden und der Umgebung. Wolfgang Brückners Bilder schaffen einerseits eine Identifikation und „Verbrüderung“ mit dem jeweiligen Gebäude, anderseits auch „Traum-Fenster“ in die nähere Umgebung, die eigentlich das zeigen, was z. B. hinter den Mauern zu sehen wäre, wenn der Architekt ein Fenster in eine erweiterte Wahrnehmung hätte bauen können.

Opening NEUE HORIZONTE I - Waldorf Astoria, Berlin 2015
Opening of the first joint exhibition by Ali Görmez (50 FACES & MORE) and Wolfgang Brückner (STRUKTURFORSCHER) at Waldorf Astoria Berlin (19th floor) - March 27, 2015

Whether in the elevator, on the street, in the office or at events. Faces are everywhere. We encounter them everywhere and begin to categorize them in different situations, to interpret and understand facial expressions. In faces we find our understanding, our affiliation, our dislikes and our own depths.
Pop artist Ali Görmez also loves faces. But it is not about assessing and classifying beauty. The artist knows that faces can quickly disguise themselves in order to appear invulnerable, strong or competent. He also knows that what may be successful at first glance fades the second time around.
For Ali Görmez, faces are stories and emotions. Emotions that he wants to immerse himself in. In doing so, the artist seeks the door to be able to look behind the façade, to read the story and the experience and to understand how to deal with it.
* Wolfgang Brückner *
One of the starting points for the STRUKTURFORSCHER project was the observation that the identity and special features of the location of buildings and residential complexes usually disappear abruptly in the interiors. Even large, magnificent buildings quickly lose their charisma in their interiors.And when art is part of the interior design, it rarely has a logical connection with the buildings and their surroundings.Wolfgang Brückner's pictures create an identification and "fraternization" with the respective building on the one hand, but also "dream windows" into the immediate surroundings on the other, which actually show what could be seen behind the walls, for example, if the architect had been able to build a window into an expanded perception.

This is the scroll part of a very old violin that my Mom had as a kid. I guess it was old even when she got it. She had it repaired and restrung a few years back and it is playable, but nobody in our family plays the violin. I have it setting on top of my computer where I can see it everyday.
