Project Parallax

edit: I watched The Last of the Mohicans last night. EPIC movie, especially the choreography and soundtrack. I think the mic mac (spelling?) indians were part of the Mohican nation… we always find their gun shells after they hunt on the land my grandparents own in Nova Scotia.

steampunk one

Mmm… airships. And a different cloud style?

Hm, dimensions… anything between 130x130 to 130x180 because of the rendering issues? It would be cool to have sort of a small peek into a steampunk world instead of a huge banner-type thing. You can appreciate the details more, too. And perhaps there could be some sort of steampunk frame around the window…

Ignore my rambling, what would you suggest for the dimensions?

I'll not give you the choice to ignore my ramblings

I read them anyway.

Oh, finished the first layer. I'm too lazy to post it, though. I'll post it when I get back this evening (dropping my brother and mom off at the airport).

So how much of this is layered and how much is orchestrated?

I can program rain if needed.

ESA 16 years, 5 months ago

Thanks so much Juju. I honestly don't know how to go about making the rain part.

Oh, I got my lazy self to post the layer I made. Long enough? I'll shade it later with the same style as the things above it.

The rain should be fine, a simple use of xspeed with a yspeed and modulos will keep the array on the canvas. Though we could make a rain layer, that'd require less looping so I suppose we can try both

The image seems a bit too wide, and I think it could use a dome

(We'll need more height for sky play, so this still may be too wide)

Looking good. So I'll start shading this in, then. Domes are pretty nice.

edit: See my progress? Not great shading… but really just adding a texture and keeping the style consistent with that of the airship and cloud.

Looks cool. BTW, I took your advice and enhanced my avatar. What do you think?

i like the style. if you add some effects, maybe like colorize it near explosions or whatever it would look really cool.

keep it up
