This feels like a city that was built first, and inhabited second. Like it was never planned to have people live there. They just arrived to a city fully formed and found places that could be a home before added door

Did you have a size ratio for these? With the modular blocks it was 4inx4in and 2in high or in multiples of 2in??
@ultraparadiso
@ultraparadiso 5 күн бұрын
the 2 smaller stairs are 4x4x2” and the larger one is something like 3x7x3” - the ground tiles need to have width and depth be multiples of 2” so they tile correctly, but since these sit on top and don’t need to tile, it doesn’t matter so much what their dimensions are, as long as the connection points line up to the 1” grid defined by the modular tiles

Gorgeous inspiring terrain. Makes you want to use the blocks over and over again and really immerses you in the world/game. Some Constructive criticism. Open with a few shots of the final product. Especially a long video like this one. Your walk through in Athens was an exce;;ent demonstration of your inspiration. But any time you do/teach an art product you need to lead with the inspirational wow shots to show the viewer it is worth the time, not just the time viewing but for the person hours you dedicated to the project. Many gamers and crafters omit this in their videos. Game playthrough folks forget to show wide shots or do such a wide shot you can't see the game table, miniature painters don't show you the final effect they are headng for etc. But I loved this terrain and it is making me rethink some of my upcoming projects. Thanks so much.

I'm quite impressed at how well some planning and some organic "just doing" came together to make a very cohesive style. Great terrain that looks to be very versatile. I could see using this for a variety of games and settings with the exclusion of perhaps strict, low fantasy. I absolutely want to have a try at making a similar set myself since most of the terrain I've made has been very planned with specific pieces preselected without the freedom of building around what a piece could be.

idk about this story specifically, but for this project overall i wind up thinking a lot about Samuel Delaney's Nevèrÿon books, M. John Harrison's Viriconium, Jack Vance's Dying Earth, various stuff by Ursula K. Le Guin, China Miéville, Iain M. Banks and a bunch of others. Also, myriad ancient stories, from history, myth, & religion around the world. i'm glad you liked it!

@@ultraparadiso YES dude, you're my people. Even though I haven't checked out Delaney and Banks yet, that's 100% the "circle of authors" that I'm into. I call it "hard to read speculative fiction". I'm a big Wolfe fan. Really love Crowley, Lafferty, and Peake. Harrison is maybe my favorite author, but it's so hard to pick a favorite. Viriconium is everything, and his Light series is the best take on both the "zone" genre and far-future sci-fi. As soon as I heard portrait painter in a strange city, my mind immediately went to Ashlyme from In Viriconium. Obviously very different stories, but I guess "if you know you know". I also recently finished Vandermeer's "Ambergris" omnibus. There's a short story in there about a painter named Martin Lake and I definitely got echoes of that too - it's got a similar "bloody" tone as your captivating vignette. Have you read it by chance?

@@ultraparadiso I saw Absolution dropped and it was right as I was finishing up Ambergris, and I knew that I'd want to revisit the whole series before starting it, as it's been years since I've been to Area X. I didn't want to commit another 6 months to Vandermeer right off the back of the last 6 months. Maybe after my current read. Gotta love a good zone, man! Roadside Picnic is undeniable. For the past few months I've actually been working on a zone-themed fan supplement to the skirmish game BLKOUT, which will turn it into an "PvPvE Extraction Shooter"/"Tarkov-like" type game instead of a skirmish game, with a lot of room for narrative play. Got a toddler and an infant, so things are taking... longer than expected. I'm really excited to have my friends come playtest it with me in a month or two, I haven't really seen anything like it in the tabletop space. Just subbed on your site, look forward to following along. Grabbed Hundreds as well, it seems like something that'll help a different project that I've set aside.

Part way through, really enjoying this. You seem to have a very similar creative language as I do, it's nice to sit down with someone speaking my native tongue. Organic and evolving pieces that constantly get circled back on to adjust and add to. A loose plan to get into a flow state and then let the creative chaos play out. A story naturally germinating and then growing up out of the flow state. I find it immensely hard to get started without a super clear plan, but my best work is always when I get started with a very loose vision and let the project take the lead. It feels like that's what you did here and it's a pleasure to watch.

Throughout the entire video, I was kinda amazed at how much effort you put into the small details, and the individual pieces look so good! I do feel like, because the individual detail is so good, that your attention to detail and skill is then let down by the way the overall pieces fit together. Those thick gaps between the pieces are really quite unfortunate! Still, it's significantly better than many alternatives. I'm wondering if making non-square shapes might help there, and also, whether adding little gap-filler pieces might help? Could be something like a strip of metal that fit between two modular pieces, with overhanging bits that overhang the terrain, so that it sort of blends it all together. This could be little mounds of sand or dirt, this could be foliage, this could be rugs, scrap, gutters or anything really, and would break up the harsh grid-pattern that is currently unfortunately quite clear. Even if you don't do this though, it's an amazing set of terrain that is no doubt going to be a joy to use. I'm very impressed by your work!
@ultraparadiso
@ultraparadiso 12 күн бұрын
thanks! i think the style i went with makes the gaps look somewhat less bad than if the tiles were all uniform, but you’re right! they are often still very noticeable, especially when protrusions keep them from being totally flush. i do have plans for some scatter and things that could cover gaps, and i like your idea of the gap fillers, i may give that a shot!
