Sometimes I wonder whether or not VictoriaG actually plays the game, or just makes a bunch of characters and spends his time doing a photoshoot instead.
Speaking of which.
Here's a picture that took me a while to craft : a family portrait featuring my last four characters and their respective followers. This was made possible thanks to Familiar Faces, but oh the struggle of moving around with 7 followers in HD armors. I'm just happy my laptop didn't blow up.
Group photos are always hard to make compared to portraits, but I'm pretty happy with the result. The process of making it involved :
-cleaning up my Skyrim to only feature aesthetic mods
-trying to load every one of those characters on that very stable Skyrim and putting them in Familiar Faces' shrine of heroes
-re-creating those who couldn't load despite my best efforts
-Fetching them, fetching their followers, re-crafting those followers' respective armors
-Going to Sovngarde (with console commands, I'm not crazy)
-Installing and learning how to use a bunch of pose mods (puppeteer, FNIS, AFT, ...)
-Getting them to work (harder than it looks when you're dealing with 8 characters lmao)
-Taking a handful of pictures with different photocomposition techniques I'm completely new to
-Learning the basics of Photoshop to combine those screenshots and do some magic
So yeah, I'm pretty pleased with myself.
If you're interested, here's what they're wearing (left to right, top to bottom) :
-Thor : Rise of Ysgramor + Witchplate Armor
-Cerwiden : Dreamburrows Investigator
-Captain Elsweyr : Dragon Knight Armor + Jagged Crown
-Arrande Taarrin : Osare Culort Outfit + Misfit Mage + Lovely Hairstyles
-Serana : Crimson wilight Armor + Seductress Serana
-Sofia : Triss Armor Retextured
-Tyrande : Dryad Race + Lovely Hairstyles + Druid Essentials + Ranger of the Woods + Regal Assassin
Some of those outfits are for the UNP body : they still work on CBBE but they'll look even better when using the right body mod.
I'm still levelling up Tyrande, my Alchemy/Conjuration druid, that's why she doesn't have a follower yet.
