He's called The Blue Wolf. People gave him this name because of his pauldrons, a gift from Beigarth, which emanate a dim, light blue colour, but also because of his reputation as a fearless warrior and a respected tracker.
He has tracked and eliminated many Sons of Svanir high ranked generals, some of them he called "friends" some years ago, but they fell too deep on Jormag's corruption to be saved.
Nowadays, he keeps his attention towards the Elder Dragon's rising, but always vigilant to the threats at his home, the Shiverpeaks.
He prefers to fight his enemies without a helm, but when the need arise, be it by leading a group of Wolfborn or facing too many enemies, he uses his Norn typical helm, both to inspire courage among his fellow warriors, but also to provoke fear among his foes.


************************************************************************

This armour was created by me, I wanted to mix several things. First, I wanted to create an original set, not a set like the typical norn ones, like full Cultural armors and etc, because npcs use it, and our characters are unique people in this game. Second, I never wanted to lose that Norn feel to it, so I use some pieces of cultural armour. Third, I wanted to also add a feel of someone who could be a Commander of the Pact, and renowed individual anywhere he would go.
The blue shades are to mix with the blue mist from the AC greatsword. Personally, I dislike this effect, but the greatsword in its daylight state fits so well with my armour, I tried to adapt it.
Also, I was inspired a bit in Geralt of Rivia from The Witcher franchise, whom people call The White Wolf.

Hope you like it!

Misleading title, nothing "Blue" about this Norn, too generic looks like you took the look from an NPC and changed the dyes to make it look original. Try better.

Don't mind this douchebag here ^ he's been trollin round here lately, apparently hasn't got anythin else to do than to shit on really nice looks. I love how you make the dolyak mail work with the stag legs here, it makes for a really nice cultural norn look. I always find this shoulderpad's weird to blend into other pieces, but you dyed it amazingly and it really fits with the gloves. Screens are pretty good, this is a gold from me.

Totally agree with Ashwolf. And ignore Jelqing, just a troll with no brain cells.

I mean, apparently, next to being a total douche canoe, he Jelqing is also colourblind or didn´t even bother to look past the first screen, so pretty sure you can ignore any kind of feedback you get from him :p
I think you made a really convincing look that is very true to lore! I´m always impressed when people manage to make male Norn look great
The armour does look like it might be all from one set, yet it isn´t!
Favourite part about your look are probably the dyes, they look gorgeous!
Only think that still could be improved are the screens imo; the locations are great, but the camera work not so much
Try to use Horizontal/Vertical position and Field of View to get the best scenic shots
Apart from that I pretty much like everything about your look, gold from me ^^

Thanks for the opinions!

About the screenshots, I tried my best, but had the feeling they weren't coming as nice as I usually see around here :/
Will try better the next time!

Wonderful! I find it difficult to make male Norn look good, so you have my respect here. You also achieved your goal of having a norn-like look without looking average.
