Image FormatEdit
LightingEdit
Neutral lighting (eg. exterior in-game noon daylight with clear weather) with simple background preferred.
ArmorEdit
Images are taken with the character facing in four directions and ordered forward - back - left - right. Clockwise (forward - left - back - right) is also acceptable. Each angle is cropped to 1:2 and combined into a single image with a ratio of 2:1.
Argonian and Khajiit versions of the headpiece are also photographed. Each angle is cropped to 1:1 and ordered similarly to the non-beast race images, with the four Argonian images on the top row and four Khajiit images on the bottom. The final image is 2:1. If all three weights' headpieces are closed-faced, indicate the races in the caption.
Using the inventory or character sheet windows is preferred, as it standardizes the framing and adds additional neutral lighting.
Weapons and ShieldsEdit
Ratio is 1:1.
Two-handed weapons, bows, and shields worn on back unless alternate angle is needed (visual effect when drawn, etc.). One-handed weapons photographed when drawn.
Staves can be photographed worn or drawn. If the character holding the staff is short, they may need to stand on an elevated surface so the bottom end of the staff is not cut off by the ground.
Further ConsiderationEdit
To be addressed after missing images are uploaded and pages are wrangled into some semblance of organized.
Naming: 1st halfEdit
Proposal: change from ON-item-armor/weapon to ON-style-armor/weapon. While images do feature an item, the focus is on showing the style's appearance.
- ON-item-armor-Redoran Heavy Male.jpg → ON-style-armor-Redoran Heavy Male.jpg
- ON-item-weapon-Redoran Mace.jpg → ON-style-weapon-Redoran Mace.jpg
Naming: 2nd halfEdit
Numbers may get confusing if more than one image for motifs with multiple weapon styles.
- ON-item-weapon-Khajiit Sword 1.jpg
- ON-item-weapon-Khajiit Sword 1 02.jpg
- ON-item-weapon-Khajiit Sword 3 02.jpg
Potential alternative 1:
- ON-item-weapon-Khajiit Sword Tier 1.jpg
- ON-item-weapon-Khajiit Sword Tier 1 02.jpg
- ON-item-armor-Khajiit Light Robe Tier 1 Female.jpg
Potential alternative 2:
- ON-item-weapon-Khajiit Tier 1 Sword.jpg
- ON-item-weapon-Khajiit Tier 1 Sword 02.jpg
- ON-item-armor-Khajiit Tier 1 Light Robe Female.jpg

OtherEdit
- Beast Race Styles
- I'm currently separating the beast race headpieces from the rest regardless if the style is associated with a beast race for simplicity.
Eg. Anequina is photographed with a human even though it's a Khajiit style.
- Robe vs Robes
- ON-item-armor-Dreadsails Light Robe Male.jpg vs ON-item-armor-Dreadsails Light Robes Male.jpg
Currently defaulting to Robe to match Style Pages
