yeah! You noticed. I recently realized I was getting confused on these models, and the free version prevented me from tapping into the warehouse for new models. So I made my own warehouse of parts I paste into these. While I was at it I made more interesting people to post around town.

@@video36 I like what it added.

Thanks. Fun to take a stroll through Harn. Dont get stuck in the swamp!

Square H1

@@johnsouthgate2183 Oh man, right. Never been out there in my campaigns. Thanks.

Well, no one has this yet as its not shipped yet. Imagine is coming soon. Hopefully start shipping this week.

I know right. Its crazy when you see it. First thing I thought, imagine a dwarf l who is about to enter the woods for a hunt or to travel to the next town only to realize he forgot his keys. He has to walk all the way up. I added the railing to this model which makes a bit more sense.

umm, I hate to break it to you.........

@@video36 No you don’t. You broke my heart many times after Abriel mister! I have yet to forgive you.

That is exactly what they are saying. I do have to say, spoilers, things dont go well for them.

I know right? Hurts my feelings a bit. Thank for breaking the silence.

Yeah, I was wondering if I should even post it for that reason. I mean, if it seems like know whats coming up, you just double the dangers that await. 👿☠

Well, you forgot to visit these areas obviously. Time for a return visit

@@video36 Sigh... I have to play it all again! Oh man, that would be really cool, actually. Too many cool campaigns, too little time!

Thanks. It very helpful to me to figure out a good view but I am excited how players can use these to get a feel for the area. I am thinking of ways to make these easier to make and a bit more Harnic.

I feel like theres a story with this comment.

Ive messed with blender a bit and its a tough learning curve. Sketchup is super easy and I have tons of saved models I can use. To be honest, I do these mostly to get the illustrations correct so I cant afford to spend too much time. To do this right id probably need a time to work on it.

Thanks. This was a fun one to do.

I hope you have the key.

@@video36 Stashed away somewhere in a drawer.

Thanks. Well, Im using Sketchup. An older free version. I have to say, I do these just so I can make sure I get the illustrations correct and all the perspectives and proportions correct. Its nice to move around in the world before picking a view. You can drop the floorplans and maps into sketchup, scale them, and then I trace all the elevation lines and build the landscape first. Then I start dropping in generic houses and trees, scale them as needed. Sketchup is nice as you can just make a block and then pull it to the desired height. Its pretty intuitive and easy to use. Lots of youtube videos on it. I generally do a bit more work than I actually need just cause I like making these videos for myself and the fans.

Thanks. This one was a bit different as its really a forest dwelling. Lots of hidden features.

Thank you. Really appreciate it.

Well, I have to admit, I just plopped something there as a placeholder. As the arena has not been in any illustration Ive had to do yet, I did not really get too specific. The acreage is correct, but I can speak on the height. Guessing it is a tad too high.

Thanks. yeah, I mean its a nice addition that KZbin has some free stuff to use for a soundtrack. I try to pick some cool ones.

Yeah, someone on the writing team did suggest that maybe the water was too clear. I thought about it, but was looking at painting of medieval Venice. You are just gonna have to imagine some gross floaters on your own.

@@video36 probably saving them for a Patreon exclusive!!

Thanks Rob. I have to say I tend to get carried away on these models but they are fun to do.

Yeah, in the illustration I drew some feeble attempts by the Ilvirans to prevent more erosion. Thanks for the comment. This one really helped, I had a simpler temple, but found a Romanesque church I liked better. I had the octagon tower, which showed more of its history as a former Agrikan Temple.

Sorry, stupid FB-YTube keeps changing accounts on me.

yeah, I have some ready made models I just throw in there. I probably should get more specific. I mean, the stables by the castle are not stone but timber frame, I just had some stables that fit the bill. Or, ........Orbaal is attacking!!

Thanks. Sketchup is a fun program.

I thought of Planet of the Apes as well. It must be so!

Glad you enjoy them. I am still moving around in the model looking for the spot to illustrate.

Thanks. It really is fun to see the Harnic and Ivinian towns come to life.

Thanks. My attempt is to model these so I get accurate drawings, but then Im like a kid and I can stop. I end up doing way more than is needed- but it is fun. Glad people enjoy them.

Thanks for writing such a cool location. It was fun to figure out the best scenes to draw. Lots to choose from. Get to work on your next one please.

Well, find a Game Master running a Harn game and go visit- in your mind?

And yes, I want to go too, in fact, Ive always thought I completely deserve to be living in a castle.

@@video36 I am the Game Master so I guess we can go there!

The article will certainly add some flavor to your already established campaign. Sounds like you got lots going on already. Looking forward to hearing what you think of the full article.

@@video36 The story on which I am currently working is Lucky Thirteen, set in Golotha. The next one is set at the top end of the Thard. Oshynn will be going home for a family reunion, and she'll be reunited with The Courtesan for some fun escapades on Lake Benath. I'm really looking forward to Parnan.

Thanks

Thanks. I did the least amount possible to get the illustration done, and after doing a flyover, I ended up adding all the buildings inside the castle and populating the areas outside the walls a bit more. Then redid the video.
