Landscape Development

I'd be happy to help with drawing different kinds of landscape art of the world we're about to create but I'm not taking it for my main work. Any volunteers?

If anyone ends up volunteering for the landscapes, I think Rose & I have a good idea of what the Faoirse & Draoicht lands look like. Anyone who wants to draw a rough sketch of the areas can talk to us and we can do our best to provide a good description. (:

I can try since I'm so eager to develop as an artist but I won't promise anything awesome. To tell the truth I haven't done much of scenery pictures. ^^''
But go ahead and tell me your ideas so that everyone else can see them too. There could be some volunteers. :')

Oh, yes I am interested in your ideas as well! I am not so good at backgrounds/landscapes to be honest BUT I do intend on attempting anyway to get better. So I would love to tone my skills with your ideas.

Hah! Like I said! There are volunteers! Nice to have you here Ashe. ^^ Let's do our best.

Thank you very much chipmunk ^-^

Alright, then I will PM you both with some info about the Draiocht land and leave the Faoirse to Rose. (:

Huff-Puff~ Here's my vision of Alberon. This is my first time doing something like this so you all should tell me what I should improve and is this what you imagined at all? :')
Sorry for the messy style.. I'm more like a sketcher.. ^^''
-Stone Houses, plants and trees are growing on them...
-There's a big tree with a door?
-Temple/Shrine...

I'd better do something more clear. O_o''

Let's say that this piece of crap took me 45 minutes that I could've used to read to the exams. ^^''

Ok this is far from elegant and beautiful but I still uploaded it here. Sorry Rose! ^^'' I'll do a better one once I've got time and I've over come this high stress level of mine...
I actually just combined Lothlorién and The Black Mage Village. x') I'm feeling very lazy and tired right now....
I still hope you like it. ^^

- I hate doing stairs! Ò__Ó/
- Haha! That forest is kinda dead looking... ^^''
- Yeah.. I'll absolutely make a new one. o__o
- This was hard! D:

Oh, Chip, it's lovely. I can't wait to see what else you come up with. Don't be so mean to your art *glomps happily*

*stands back up* Gah. Thank god it wasn't a hard glomp. ^^ And sorry. I'm kinda pessimistic sometimes. And this isn't what you asked for so of course I'm not happy with the results. x)
Hmm.. Maybe this area could be the outer side of the forest.. Like "a slum". But in good condition. Maybe.. A swamp area? In the middle of the forest there would be the most beautiful part of the city. Well?

Ummm it could be the area on the outskirts...the barracks are there...but it sorta burns down in Iza's quest...ah heh ^^;

Sure. Go ahead. Those were ugly houses anyways~ :'D

Here's just somethin related to the latest house design. I've got a problem and I need help! Give me some ideas and suggestions please. Saying "elegant" won't help much..
I'm not happy with these design you see. :/ Well?

Watch LOTR the Fellowship of the Ring and look at Lothlorien... the architecture is very beautiful, yet ancient...very otherworldly...the designs of Lothlorien are basically how I picture Amene...

See how the wood is made to form these elegant archways, stairs and dwellings? Almost like they trained the branches of the trees to grow that way. That is how I see Amene...does that help?

I've checked out those pictures and watched videos in YouTube many many times but this is maybe too hard for me.. I'll give it another shot when I've got more time. Like I said before, architecture isn't quite my thing but I'll develop my skills that I can do these things!

Awww Chipmunk...I believe in you...you can do this! *friendly glomp*

Honestly, I'd see Chipmunk as a general "blue-print" designer. He's really good at that.

Ehehe.. Thanks. ^^'' Wait and see! I'll develop my skills more and more. If this project takes over 2 years or something like that I can only imagine how much experience I've gained after we have finished~ This is going to be fun!
Hmm.. That said.. Normally it takes one or few years to make a simple game but.. We're doing this in the internet. xD I wonder if that is going to slow us?

It will. I'd say not by much, though.

By the way, guess what! I came up with a new idea for the city~ I'll make some changes into it and I'll send it... Whenever I've got time. ^^'' But I myself, love it!
*back to read to the exams*

This could do as a base to my idea. There should be more trees and houses and some lanterns etc. that would make it feel more like a "fairy land". x')
I'm sorry if I disappointed you.. ^^'' I couldn't stop using round things...
I like those entrances!!
It's almost midnight so please mind to the possible typos. *falls to bed..*

It looks awesome, Chip XD I love the direction you're headed...can't wait to see more *gives big hug*

I agree with Rose!

It looks amazing Chip! I can't wait to see more as well ^^
