Lovecraftian Adventure - Farrow Mansion

[Hermit]

Thanks Bogie and Tiana and I'm glad the carpet comes across.

I thought that the back of the sofa looked familiar haha. I saw that you had credited them on your own thread so I added them to my list, I'll update it to show as a mod of a chair you made.

I might try that method to get more sofa-type furniture. I was thinking specifically of two other chairs that you made, Bogie. The upholstered wood sides & back chair (like the yellow ones in front of the fireplace on the 1st floor) and the upholstered curved chairs (like the brown ones in the front room on the 1st floor by the candle).

Its coming along nicely. Regarding the carpet yeah, it looks good to me.

[Hermit]

Thanks Kier! I'm hoping to have all the furniture in place in the next couple of days, we shall see

Interesting insider info on making elements.
Regarding: "Greytale: green, Victorian-style sofa" That sofa originally was a chair that I took a picture of in an antique store.
Greytale worked some photoshop magic by cutting and pasting bits of it back together to turn it into this cool sofa.

So I thought I'd give this a go on a couple of the upholstered Bogie chairs. I actually enjoyed this and it was a fun challenge to stretch the chairs out. Bogie originally had multiple colors of these chairs so I tried to replicate that without chopping up and stretching each separate color. The result didn't match the colors perfectly, but I couldn't figure out how to get them closer to the original color choice. Any info or suggestions on how to do that would be awesome since I still don't know what all of my tools do in GIMP.

Thanks to Bogie for letting me do this and for creating the originals!

Let me know what you think.

You did a great job with those sofas! Or should they be called sofachairs?

[Hermit]

Thanks Bogie I appreciate it! I'm honestly not sure what to call them lol, but sofachairs sounds like a new category of mapping element to me

Been a little while since I updated here. I got carried away with the library and I underestimated how much stuff was on the 2nd floor (and how quickly I could do it). Here is a snap shot of the library and the manuscripts room. On to the kids' room and the gallery. Any comments or criticisms are appreciated

THE THREAD IS ALIIIIIIIIVE!!!!

It has been a weird year for me (as I assume it has for everyone else). Since starting on this project I became I full-time high school math teacher rather than just a substitute, so my free time evaporated.

This has been in the back of my mind since last May when my most recent post was put up. Over that time I've been using any time off from classes to work on the furniture for the second floor. Since we're on spring break currently, I finally had enough time to tackle the rest of the rooms.

I'm pretty happy with the result on the 2nd floor, I'm just not happy about how long it took me

Any comments or critiques are appreciated, and thanks for taking a look even if you're just lurking!

2nd floor - all layers-compressed.jpg

[Hermit]

The last piece of the house is done. Finally.

I thought about adding in the outside/roof of the rest of the house, but when I added it in it was distracting from the main map pieces. I would appreciate some input on that idea in particular because I added the roofing and grounds to the 2nd floor, so I feel like that visual theme should continue. I do like the paper texture, but it doesn't fit with the rest of the maps.

I'm thinking about making a "grounds of the mansion" map with a fully enclosed mansion, but we'll see how much time I have. I will for sure be moving on to work on the catacombs under the house and a cave system, so I'll update the thread with that once I've made some progress.

**Attributions for this map are the same as the above map**

You did a fantastic job with this mansion Hermit! Great use of all the elements.
