      Thank you so very much, dear Marianna! I know you often say I'm always replying and giving lots of thoughts with my words, but in some of my sets I'm still very late in actually giving my thanks. This is one of them, so I'm very sorry for keeping you on hold for more than one year!

      Always a joy reading your comments and looking at the gif's you've spent so much time finding! Thanks again!

      Do not worry and do not apologize for me, to me - it's exactly I feel ashamed now for my behavior on our favorite great amiable Forum...because of my protracted creative "vacation" here... Our comments to personal works of each other, honest answers and mutual replies - they are always in time here - for me, at least;=) In such case is no any certain delay towards me - after year, two or five;=) Huge Thanks for that You're is - here on these Skyrim-sites with us and for us - so generously and inspirationally...and at all... Your Glorious name and thankful thoughts about You, dear Rickard, - as about our all remarkable virtual friends-artists - honestly are in my modest and sincere prayers every day;=*

      You're much too kind, Marianna! I would also like to give you an advise:

      If you feel you don't have the time to reply to every comment you receive, or if you feel obligated to always write something on other peoples uploads, it's going to burn you out and exhaust you in the end. I tried to keep this up at my starting appearance here at Nexus, and at some point giving comments turned into "a must", almost like a curse. That's no good!
      So never feel obligated about this, it's only screenshots from a game, and life is outside our windows. If we caught too caught up in this hobby, we all are going to become what I already am - lonely, reserved people with little experiences of real life that's always around us. You're also still so young - yet wise - so don't get trapped in fantasy worlds only, but never let them go either. Our imagination is our greatest feature after all...

      Be safe, my dear, and take care of yourself! Superfun seeing you work together with Lucy too! I call the two of you the sunshines of Nexus...

      OMG Judy! You made it all the way back here?! That's very kind of you, especially since Oghren is one of the DA characters I'm most pleased with - Morrigan, Aveline and Merrill being the others. My Oghren looks a bit more fit, but it's still him - perhaps in his glory days before losing Branka...?

      Thank you for the visit here, much appreciated!

    I like your version better. Great work on the chin and nose.

      Thank you very much and sorry for not replying sooner than now! Without that chin and nose, it wouldn't be possible to remake Oghren. Probably should have made the chins a bit more fat though, but I kind of like my version. He's got a strong and stern face instead of looking puffy ...

      Thank you ever so much, Lidi, and I'm so sorry I never gave you a reply at the time! It's been so long now and not that many doing Saturday Night Celebrities-set. I think it's just me very rarely!

      I'm very happy you like my version of Oghren! He's indeed a great guy - funny yes, but also with a lot of bad luck in his life which I can relate too. I'm not a drinker like him though...

      Thank you very much, Wade! I wasn't sure I'd be able to make him look the same - or similar at least - but my version turned out just fine indeed. I'm quite pleased with my Oghren...

      Better buy the whole Honningbrew Meadery to keep this guy content!

    Your Oghren is more than awesome I like him as character of Dragon Age very much but his appearance suited not to my imagination from the fantastic dialogues I had with him. If there would have been your Oghren in the game I would liked to have a romance with him
    You captured all his dwarven signs but you made him strong and grumbling friendly
    Your pictures show him in his native surrounding ... very well done

      That's a great praise from you, if you feel you'd be brave enough to romance this burly old dwarf if he looked like my version. I kind of feel very sorry for him, not in a pitiful way, but more genuine sorrow because of his lost love - which I deeply can relate too - and his bad luck because of his conviction of Branka still being alive out there in the Deep Roads...

      It was a great set, I still think so even after this long time, and he's one of my best celebrity remakes together with my Morrigan, Aveline and Merrill...

    The original version from the DA game looks rather more of a caricature than a character, almost a comedic sketch of this person rather than a serious attempt to portray a character.

    However, your version puts this rather sad situation right in that your character actually looks perfect for your description of the original.

    A really super regeneration old mate!

      Time for a reply, eh?

      Oghren is pretty much a caricature with his obnoxious behaviour and his rather funny appearance. He's a good guy though who just looked to deep in the bottle to find the answers of his sorrow and bad luck. I really did like making the characters from Dragon Age, and Baldur's Gate too which is an even older RPG, but lately there hasn't been much Saturday Night Celebrities-action.

      Thank you for the kind words about my work with him, he's one of the best I've done for this event...

    Spot on, Rick.

    You did a fantastic job bringing Oghren over from DA:O Seems everyone is doing SNC now. Fantastic addition to MM and SW. Looking forward to the next character you bring over to Skyrim.

    Though with the impending release of Skyrim Remastered soon It is going to be a bit harder since the core game is about to change and 80% of the mods will not work tell they are brought over to the new creation kit.

      Alright, my friend! For some reason I ended up in replying on this comment, only after more than one year or so!

      Saturday Night Celebrities was indeed busy at this time, but nowadays it's more or less hidden in shadows. I do a set occasionally, but that's pretty much it. I miss my "partner" Tanja in pulling this one together, but she's barely at Nexus anymore which is why I started up my new event with the themes. That said, my work with Oghren here is probably the one I'm most satisfied with along with my Morrigan, Aveline and Merrill...

      Many thanks, dear Izzy!

      I feel I've made him more handsome than he's supposed to be, but that's perhaps a part of the fun too, right? Making your very own versions of popular characters...

      I'm also not as brave as you to try on real life people - at least not yet - so a reference shot is much needed when making video game characters, because otherwise people will have no clue about how they're looking in their original state...

      I'm certain you'd be a dab hand with real life people, I'm already busy now with next weeks S N C... I have to fit it in with my day/night job... This event is fantastic addictive and a great idea from you and Tanja

      Very kind of you to say, Izzy!

      I will try some day, just not yet. I still have too many video game characters in mind! Also glad we could keep you occupied, if you're already at it!

      It's been wonderful to see your creations so far and I do agree - it's very addictive!
