NPC Concept Art – Dragon Priest Mask

mwh.Jun — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 03:19:49 +0000

One of the antagonists in Dwarves of Karak Dok is the Dragon Priest, Irendil. Here is the concept art for the mask we’re going to be giving him, courtesy of Crotchbeard. I don’t know about you guys but I’m pretty excited to put a beat down on Irendil and get my characters wearing this ASAP! Stats are still being fleshed out so I can’t say what it will do for ya besides make you look like a bad ass, but that’s enough isn’t it?

In other news, the Creation Kit released today! We’ll finally be able to dive in, learn the tool-set, and start building! Anyone used it yet? What are your thoughts?

Looking For A 3D Character Artist!

mwh.Jun — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 00:00:37 +0000

MWH Games is currently looking to add an experienced 3D Character Artist to the team! This position is for the Dwarves of Karak Dok mod for Skyrim.

You will be responsible for working with the art team to create characters, weapons, armor and other items. This includes modeling, sculpting and texturing game assets from start to finish. We’re a small but growing team of game industry vets and game enthusiasts, and you will be collaborating primarily with the lead artist and the concept artist to execute the vision for DoKD. You should be comfortable managing your own time, and of course must be willing to commit to hitting deadlines set by the project manager.

[UPDATE: January 14th, 2011]

Thanks to everyone who sent in their info and portfolios. As of Thursday the position is now filled. More might open in the future as we move forward and identify our needs a bit better so keep checking the site. More info on our new character artist in the coming days.

New Weapon Concept Art – 1H Sword & 2H Hammer

mwh.Jun — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 17:52:46 +0000

Excited to be able to show you guys a couple more weapon concepts we finished over the holidays: the Two-Handed Hammer and One-Handed Sword. The vanilla Skyrim weapon designs are very monotone in color and feel, even the higher-end items. They tend to reflect the style and culture of Skyrim herself so it’s an appropriate design choice, albeit a bit boring at times. One of our goals for the weapon designs in DoKD has been to add some color and complexity to give the items a more interesting feel without straying too far from the game’s overall style.

Happy new year everyone and thanks for your support!

Happy Holidays From MWH Games!

Wishing everyone a happy 2011 holiday season! Hopefully you’ve got at least some time off work, family, and any other responsibilities to hunker down and play some games!

In celebration, enjoy some of my favorite holiday metal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=au2UvtYyrSI

DoKD: One-Handed Hammer and Dagger

mwh.Jun — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 18:25:35 +0000

We’re pushing to get the complete Mithril weapon set drawn and ready to build before the New Year so Noud has been busy. Below are the finals for the one-handed hammer and the dagger. The hammer is my favorite design so far. Looking forward to smashing some Thalmor face with that thing.

DoKD: A wild logo appears!

mwh.Jun — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 22:57:57 +0000

Representative of the frozen lands of Skyrim and as well as the heroes of our story being frozen in time, Noud’s new logo couldn’t fit our project any better. The style is befitting of the Dwarves of Karak Dok and I am looking forward to stamping it all over our images and in every other place I can.

What can I say…the man has skills. What do you think?

DoKD – First Character Concept Sketch

mwh.Jun — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 05:00:35 +0000

Noud strikes again with this great sketch and color of one of our Dwarf characters in DoKD. We’re experimenting with the look and feel of some of NPC’s as well as being in the early stages of armor design. Needless to say, this one came out really good.

As early as we are in the design stage for the NPCs and their armor, this guy is so cool looking I’ll be surprised if you don’t see him in the mod. Want to see more of Noud’s work? Visit his website or check out more concept art from Dwarves of Karak Dok in the gallery.

DoKD – One and Two Handed Axe Concept Art

mwh.Jun — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 01:23:24 +0000

Our Concept Artist, Noud, has been working hard to get our final weapon art finished so that Rorik can start modeling and texturing over holiday break. So far he’s been getting to about one per week and putting out some truly awesome stuff. Here is the latest couple of pieces, the one-handed and two-handed axes.

If the player has earned the Mithril Smithing skill, these will be craftable weapons forged from Mithril Ingots. Check out the Dwarves of Karak Dok Concept Art Gallery to see more art from the mod.
