    Wonderfrul set, Rick. Like so many others have mentioned in their comments, I too love the color set for this LUT. The effects you achieve are quite stunning. I loved jacobriley's comment, and had to take a second look bc I didn't notice a werewolf look the first time I glanced through it. I think both shots of Farkas exemplify this, though the second shot of him is my fave of the whole set - wonderful portrait of the char! But even Eorlund, though not a werewolf, has an intense gaze that marks him as one of the group. In fact the shot of Eorlund is my second fave of the group, with the tomato shot as my third.

    I really like your char, too. I read her expression as looking a little worried, though, so I don't know what she was experiencing at the time of the shots.

    Anyway, I basically repeated what everyone else said, but it's how I feel about the set, so I said it anyway. Excellent group of images!

    This is a wonderfully accomplished series of portraits and set-pieces, my dear old mate, with a fantastic "feel" to the colours, the light and the shadows.

    But I have to say, I really love the expression on the face of the main image, there is a calculating kind of determination in those eyes and in the set of her jaw...pure art, my dear Rick!

      This is what happens when you simply pick a character, a LUT and start walking around in-game. I'm trying to collect a few images for the 11th theme, so I just randomly roam around to see what I might encounter...and the game still just takes me away with it's beauty after all these years and thousands upon thousands of screenshots. It's remarkable how attached one can feel to a game I think...

      This LUT is my favorite with it's strong red tints and the overall shadowy atmosphere. I like how it transform the realm of Skyrim into something almost gothic or dark, even in the most safe places. I believe this is the one I will play the most with, so expect a lot more in this colour scheme.

      Aela's expressions in this set were wonderful to observe, They're all thanks to a nifty new mod called Random Emotions. It constantly changes the expressions of your own character and it seems to affect NPC's as well...or dear Aela simply had a very expressive day! I tried it out for fun and so far it's great, even if some expressions might look too weird or out of place. Luckily the changes come quite often. To me, it's a neat little mod since I very rarely fiddle with expressions like you do in your story sets. This way I get more life out of the characters even for regular screenshots.

      And Aela is pure art no matter what mood she's in! I'm very fond of that woman...her, Ilia and Mjoll would be my favorite gals in the northern realm!

      Thanks for the link to this mod - the one thing that bothered me the most about playing skyrim was that my character didn't have much expression in the course of normal screen play, so when I took screenshots, she always looked kinda like a barbie doll. So this will be one to add to my modlist when I get back into the game.

    The look of this is so beautiful. It actually gives the Companions more of the 'you better take this group serious' look. You can almost see the werewolf within, just behind the eyes. And this was done with LUT? Amazing. This image shows best what I mean and is one of my favorite's.

      All done thanks to a LUT, yes and it's a gorgeous one called Vamp. It's my favorite at the moment, because it deals so good with both interiors and exteriors, giving them all this shadowy atmosphere that appeals to me greatly. I've always been a fan of darker fantasy realms and this LUT sure helps making Skyrim look more foreboding.

      It's funny how you mention the "werewolf within", because that's exactly how I saw the characters too when looking at the images after gameplay. The one you linked with Farkas shows this superbly and that's actually my favorite shot in this whole set. I just love how that one eye is focuse by light while the rest of his face is somewhat hidden in darkness...and the glimpse he's giving is definitely feral.

      LUT's have done so much to my screenarchery lately, making it more interesting again, so I'm very curious what I will find everytime I launch the game!

    B&W but keep anything red. Beauty! It's the Sin City look transferred to Skyrim. Nice choice of scenes to display it, especially this one.

      It's a lovely LUT for sure and I'm quite smitten by it, so I suspect we will see a lot more sets in this colour scheme from me!

    The main pic and this with the tomatoes are incredible wonderful ... this LUT is much better than "Noir-ENB" ( not in all aspects )
    You made great pics and a fantastic showcase of this LUT

      Thank you, dear lady! I have to say this LUT is my favorite so far, although I haven't thoroughly tried them all yet. So many of them, yet I've only tested around ten of them during different occasions. What I like with the Vamp LUT is the strong tints of red against a very dark or somber colour scale. Light sources are also quite bright to give off enough effect to stand out in the darkness or during nights. It's not pitch-black either, more an eerie veil of shadows surrounding everything which works perfectly ourdoors at nightfall since the clouded skies and the fog and mist appear in the dark. It's indeed a grand LUT this one...
