January/February 2014 Lite Challenge: Vacruel's Eyeball

[Diamond]

Heh. Love the expression on his face. "Wot? Someone hooked me eyeball!"

[Jalyha]

scary D:

(And lol @ Diamond!)


I think it's funny AND scary... which is weird cause your map is all cute and peaceful and idyllic and you can just laugh at these people that think this rock is a god/demon's eye.. and then RAWRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR That's what's in their minds and I was all:

[rgcalsaverini]

Heh, yeah, Vacruel got a bit scarier than I first sketched him to be. If I ever do write a few titanic-holy-book verses, one will be something like:
" Overtaken by the wrath of a thousand flames, Vacruel stood at the top of the mountain, and with a sound matching the thunders up above he uttered: 'Wot? Someone hooked me eyeball!' ".

So, fixed light, colors and texture, added Uri's crops and finished the fall. This is most likely my last upload and therefore the final version (or not).

Some points:
I have failed to eliminate the impression that the river might claim the road anytime soon, when the road should be above the river's level. I'm a day away from resorting to adding a picture of Gandalf between the two saying "Tho shall not pass!". While I have not given up on the subject, I'm not optimistic.
Also, I know the crops are not following the terrain's slope, but this is just a small backyard veggie garden, and poor ol'Uri probably doesn't even own a mule (yeah, I forgot while drawing and only spotted it now... :p)

Edit: Is it obvious enough where my shapes are?

[Jalyha]

You drew grass in the star puddle!

I think Uri's fields are fine, considering there's the eyeball of a scary demon god 12 feet away... it's probably scared him right up the hill


The fall is great

I see you also fixed the spray off the mill, edited the river and.. did you add more rocks/boulders?

I think it looks great, and I'm sure you're fine with the shapes

yknow.... if it bothers you, you could probably fix the river thing by having it run at an angle off the bottom of the map... that would direct it away from the road...

maybe. idk.

I think it's fine as it is!

Great work by the way - I've enjoyed watching this develop!

[Jalyha]

Wow lol that's awesome.

I mean those poor people but..

[rgcalsaverini]

@jbgibson: Wow! That's amazing! I hope nobody got hurt, (it looks like it only destroyed a barn?) but that is really interesting.

Thanks guys for the help and reviews! I'll travel abroad and will have limited to no access to the internet for a month or so. Good luck to everybody on the challenge
