Project WIP update - Kalaluu
Added 2015-10-27 19:40:41 +0000 UTCSorry it took me so long to do this, but here's the first WIP set (there will be more)!
It's a bit of a backburner project, but it's moving. I'll post notifications of any future updates here (and I'm not charging for WIPs - that would be evil).
Now have some things:
- the overview document (it has links to some images in it)
- the project folder (it has ALL the things in it)
- the WIPs folder (this one is pretty useless at the moment, but hey)
The document explains everything, or almost everything, actually. I know it's pretty long, but I tried my best to make it interesting, so please read the whole thing. ^.^
So yeah, early stage, open to critiques! And don't be afraid to ask questions - they can be helpful for coming up with missing data, so your input may help in pushing the project forward. C:
Enjoy! :D

No need to put too much thought into my suggestions if it sounds stupid. Environment Nature: I studied the environment a little. The detail of the island is amazing. I'm glad to see that you've adapted to doing more beautiful nature shots. This includes a lot of shrubbery. I recall from the past that you've done some plant life but have had a stern disliking for it. Or you said something along the lines of “I despise making foliage.” “what things could be scattered around the world (which only serves as a background; it will never - or very rarely - be seen up close)?” Since you said this do you not plan on showing closer shots of these plants? Maybe someday I’ll be able to make something and ask if you’d like to have it somewhere in the background… hahah… maybe someday I can. Could I ask to see some shots of your environment? You do a good job developing your characters in the environment you make them in. Since the shot is a wide shot of just about everything I’m curious what is in the parts that I can’t see. They live very close to the beach. Would you plan on doing any beach shots? It would be nice to see you make another piece where the two of them were sitting at a lake (in this case the ocean) like you did for <a href="http://tchaikovsky2.deviantart.com/art/Magic-in-the-wind-389978397" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://tchaikovsky2.deviantart.com/art/Magic-in-the-wind-389978397</a> . Architecture: Looking at one of the wide island shots… since I’ve got 2 now. I see a road/bridge. It almost reminds me of the Great Wall of China. Looks nice. The architecture of the building from the small portion that I can study remind me of an art nouveau style. What does the road look like? Did you carry over that style to the road too? I haven’t seen anything other than this far shot of the road so suggesting anything for the road that is already made could sound rude of me. Can I see a shot of the road bridge seen in this part of the image? <a href="http://sta.sh/01pp6whk58ew" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://sta.sh/01pp6whk58ew</a> I’m curious if there is any lighting structures going to be on the road? Or if there will be any road signs, it obviously goes somewhere, just nowhere we need to know at the moment. About the random things to be seen though out the background, I’ll throw some ideas around. I’d be curious to see a radio tower or a satellite dish or some large communication structure. Or even if it isn’t large but fairly small and found near the roadway. They probably would need some way to communicate with the outside world unless they’re hermits and chose to live far far away from the world. If there is a form of transportation have you thought of a garage? I’m thinking of a car port like thing that borderlands has to “spawn” in a vehicle. Some Easter Island kind of structures of an ancient species from the past that were long forgotten and found in the forest. A cave. Interior design: Since you said suggestions, and it also sounded like you’d be willing to have .obj or .fbx files, to alleviate your struggle. <a href="http://tf3dm.com/3d-models/furniture/1/fbx" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://tf3dm.com/3d-models/furniture/1/fbx</a> I think bird related furniture would be cool to see. I searched bird furniture and found this chair. But it might be too corny. I’m sure if you liked it it would manifest someway into your thoughts. <a href="http://2.lushome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/high-back-lounge-chair-autoban-nest-2.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://2.lushome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/high-back-lounge-chair-autoban-nest-2.jpg</a> Also I did a search for bird nest bed. But I wasn’t very pleased with how they looked. You’d probably have a blast making a bed out of tree branches… haha no. If you did do architecture revolving around art nouveau then I have some furniture suggestions. I find that some tables could be created out of a theme similar to how this would look. A few branches stemming from the floor and holding up glass/metal/wood/plastic. <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/572942383821207316/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.pinterest.com/pin/572942383821207316/</a> . This is glass but the design could be a table top if it struck you’re fancy. <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/572942383819130999/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.pinterest.com/pin/572942383819130999/</a> . Pinterest – Art Nouveau Furniture: <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?rs=ac&len=2&q=art+nouveau+furniture&term_meta[]=art" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?rs=ac&len=2&q=art+nouveau+furniture&term_meta[]=art</a>|autocomplete|0&term_meta[]=nouveau|autocomplete|0&term_meta[]=furniture|autocomplete|0 I feel that maybe you would be interested in a skyrim mod that I found a few months back that was a house mod. The modder’s created a house that was haunted by an artist. His home, which looks a lot like a messy studio, could be inspiration for your characters home. The realm is entirely different but if both of your characters are sculptors. I feel their home would be messy and look like how a famous studio would be. <a href="http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/63559/?tab=3&selected_game=110&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Fskyrim%2Fajax%2Fmodimages%2F%3Fid%3D63559%26user%3D1%26gid%3D110&pUp=1" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/63559/?tab=3&selected_game=110&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Fskyrim%2Fajax%2Fmodimages%2F%3Fid%3D63559%26user%3D1%26gid%3D110&pUp=1</a> Youtube video showing more detailed shots: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kz1mVBV_-eo" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kz1mVBV_-eo</a>

2015-10-27 23:15:59 +0000 UTCI'm so happy to see the Kalaluu's development! I recall you making an alien planet of a ginormous proportion. I'm glad its finally being seen today. There is a lot to take in all at one time so I'll respond with a better more thought out idea when I get the chance. It is clear that you've placed an extraordinary amount of thought into this project so it should only be right to do the same for a response. <a href="http://p3d.in/gvXZ8/spin" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://p3d.in/gvXZ8/spin</a> - this changed quite drastically. With the new anatomy you chose it reminded me that I follow an artist on Tumblr that draws monster porn. And their anatomy structures are all very thought out like your creature. <a href="http://sometimessmuthappens.tumblr.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://sometimessmuthappens.tumblr.com/</a>
