I opened up a new section in my main gallery for Morrowind screenshots. One of the albums in this gallery is dedicated to the adventures of Bastet in Vvardenfel , my main character since I started playing the game in 2002. Unfortunately, I started taking screenshots on a regular basis only late in the game. Hopefully, I will fill in…

Modeling
A stimulating afternoon with my muse ended up with a little Modeling Experiment. Playing with real clay made me realise a few things : Physical artistic media are messy but it is precisely because they involve the senses of touch, sight and smell, that they are so much more powerful at stimulating creativty.

Welcome to Vvardenfell
Where do I even begin talking about Morrowind ? How about with a shot from one of the very first scenes in the game ? From the moment you step out of the prison ship that brought you, an outlander, to the Land of the Dunmers, one thing is clear : this is way more than a simple game. The…

More importantly, it makes sense.…
