House designs

Maybe you guys should try and revive the request to allow Forest houses to be repaired by watering them.

Normally, under any condition, I would rather kill anyone (in RP) trying to live INSIDE the tree(s).

Not to mention we have rain on GK now.

maybe when the house is on top of grass or dirt it might Dull the stones look down. If not i guess it will work. it doesn't llok awful or anything. just a little too shiny =D

Here, maybe this will help. This is fairly close to what it would look like, before we adjust the inside lights and what not.

yeah it does look a helleva lot better in that pic. dulls the stones way down =P

I always wanted to get rid of those ugly tree houses when i was in forest =/. made no sense just because your from the forest doesn't mean you have to live in trees.

Good decision on changing. and awsome work replacing.

well sorry for any inconvenience Dayaa.

instead of being rude? why not give some ideas? theres really no reason to post such things?

This one looks more "in place" than those ugly trees. they need to go bye bye.

Someone had to say it. I mean, look at the leafs - do you guys really think it fits in on GK, or even with that house design? Im not trying to be rude here, im just telling the obvious.

Leaves wouldn't be used in a permanent building, but leaf-shapped tiles could be easily used instead of stereotypical shingling. Also, the goal of this project was to produce a similiar but different house style for the Forest kingdom. If you have a better suggestion, show us.

Im a pixel artist, there's no chance in hell I would attempt to make a GK styled GFX without a tablet. Im merely trying to point out that it doesnt look good.. try changing the design of the house itself, it *might* help. The leaves are riddicilous big, use ALOT of small ones instead - I bet that alone would do wonders.

Several of things that might improve it:

* Why does all leave look exactly the same except the light source and rotation?
* Why are the leaves blurred?
* The leaves doesnt appear to be attached to the building at all.
* The design of the house itself doesnt fit together with leaves on top of it. Thats the main priority to change here.

Heres the real problem

* They look like jello!

** To answer any questions to as why the leaves look the way they do.

The "leaves" are actually leaf shaped tiles, hence the reason they are larger then a normal leaf. Unless you can make a better house image for the kingdom, this is what I would rather have us live in. Being inside the tree would do more harm to it.. as my RP would be of a wood elf.. I would think my character would be against even cutting them down. No matter how fat and ugly they were.

As for the original house shape, the story behind it would simply be that I was an architect at one time in the Pirates kingdom. If you have something against this, tough, its the past and I can't change that.

* By tiles I mean green tinted stone either magically made or formed or even carved out of wood. I don't care how you want to think of the tiles as its just to give you the idea that its NOT an actual tree your living in.

lol @ reviving a 5 month dead post.

Point is no matter how you justify it, they just didn't(don't) look good

Show me a better version of the house then what we currently have and I might actually listen. Otherwise you are just waisting time.
