Skyrim
A gilded flyer darting over gleam of water and wisp of mist

About this image

Here is a glimpse, taken as I was working on a few shots for Edrelle's tale, of the marshes near the perch on which sits Solitude, a dragonfly with wings warmed by the morning sun darting among trees and over the water.

I wanted to give you all an update on Edrelle's tale, I have created a few characters which I have to turn into followers for some upcoming chapters and am in the process of capturing what shots I can for the next chapter. I am trying to get a few chapters ahead as far as capturing shots. I will be playing fallout 4 on the side but my focus remains on working on Edrelle's tale.

      I am happy you like the shot a lot, was a quiet place that dragonfly was wandering in, the DoF did end up working well in bringing out those trees

    Like the way you took the water angle here - making it look flat and smooth like on a stagnant day in the swamps with the buzzing of insects, such as the gilded flyer. Nice shot and also nice to know you are working with Edrelle to tell a story.

    I started a story with Erik, post Army of Darkness, but will be delayed a bit while I play some FO4 I suspect. Also still levelling up Grim and Erik a little as they adjust to life in Skyrim after all the changes wrought by the two wards (undead and civil).

      I did try to capture a bit of the water in the shot, that gleam below the bright hue of that dragonfly, good to hear you like the angle I chose. There is a certain point I want to get to in Edrelle's tale, a point that is not a conclusion but a starting point for shorter tales.

      I am curious to see what story you write with Erik after that was with the undead, FO4 is going to take up a bit of my time too. I hope you are still having fun leveling them up and wandering about Skyrim

      Very much so! I had to start over as I am switching follower mods I think. Used AFT for 3 years and want to try something new but need to test it. So I have both Grim and Marrok freshly made and hanging out in Riverwood. Grim will head to Rorikstead to pick up Erik and Wolfgar and do some exploring as they help out Skyrim after the undead invasion. They will then camp at Dusk Cabin at level 10 or so and from there I will write Erik's story while Grim is on patrol in the Whiterun area hunting out pockets of undead. Erik's story will be solo at first but others will come in later.

      Marrok, who is more a private character for me to just enjoy without feeling required to do anything in particular outside of my general idea of who he is as a person, will do various main quests and then pick up the mage Fyrulf and escort him to the college in Winterhold. Both of them have strong mage backgrounds (Fyrulf is a pure mage while Marrok is a rogue/mage mix) and need training.

      I also have a backstory/profile story in the work for my new character in FO4 I may post on the FO4 image share this week if I find time
