About this image

I was modding my own game and adding some jewelry icons for some personal stuff.. and then I was like.. well maybe I should do this for everything? So now I am. It's gonna be a few days, but I've already worked my way through a few of them.

The goal is to add unique icons for all Rings, Amulets, and Belts, and I want them to be a step above the way vanilla is done, more in line with DLC.

I am basing the icons, when possible, on their in game descriptions. This isn't always possible, since a description isn't always descriptive enough, but I'm doing my best. I am pretty happy with Dreamsever, and its description isn't very forthcoming.


                                                                                             

This is the Morrigan's Ring.

This is a twisted loop of rosewood, the grain of which seems to shift and change from one moment to the next, taking on shapes reminiscent of animals and people.
Most difficult project so far. I went with two images inside the ring itself. I wanted to make it look like the twists in the wood were opening up and displaying images. I have a bear and a nude woman in a fetal position (I should note that the original image had no genitalia or breasts showing, so neither does this.. so I don't think this qualifies as adult per se). For the background, I went with a rising moon motif, with three feathers superimposed over it, as an arrangement of feathers is unique to Morrigan's outfit. I felt it was close enough to indicating ownership (yes I know it's a present for male warden when he romances her).

My only real regret with this is that the detail is largely lost when shrank down to in-game sizes.. but at least we know they are there!

I spent about four hours on this I think. Definitely the largest and most difficult project.

Today I also redid Lloyd's ring to my satisfaction.

Of course only now do I see the errors at the top and bottom of the image. What can I say, I feel like crap today and can barely see straight. That's already fixed.

    It looks incredible!

    I have those kind of headaches too. I hope you feel better soon!

      Thank you I'm really happy people like these. That encouragement keeps me at it. Tomorrow I'm planning 4 rings:

      Ring of Ages
      Ring of Faith
      Ring of Resistance
      Ring of Selection

      If I'm still feeling it after those, then I will do more. I would like to finish this mod in a couple weeks. It's a lot of work, but I'm largely enjoying it.

      Wish I thought of it a couple years ago :p If DA Inquisition has similarly bad icons and no 3D models, I would likely be willing to do this again if they make the game accessible to modding.
