It is hard to not make some art inspired by Bethesda’s upcoming Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. A rugged, mountainous environment can take on so many forms and as I see more screenshots and concept art, I’m drawn to exploring the visual premise.

The central terrain is Talon Peak, a mountain terrain I made for one of our QuadSpinner terrain packs. The other two terrains are fresh from World Machine, and were fused with the existing terrain to create a chain of mountains.

Some general formation arrangement and lighting were inspired by the time I spent in Zion national park.

The nords have taken over my mind, so expect more Skyrim renders in the near future.
