When I hear music, I mostly "feel it" as in, accents, physical feeling, it's difficult to explain. In addition to that, I 'see' a kind of curve that goes up or down with high or low notes, but that is probably because I see music as sheet music, through the eyes of a musician. That is with monotone music (1 line music, like paganini) With polyphone music it gets complexer, more curves, different feeling for each 'voice' with the accents... I wonder if this makes any sense at all, for it's difficult to explain. Sometimes music triggers landscapes, sometimes the plain sheet music. It all depends on the music itself, classical music triggers more 'academic' feelings, while folk triggers landscape feelings

That's a very good one Although I'm not a big fan of Pink in paintings, this one turns out to be great in colors! I'd like to see that one full sized, because when clikcing it, you can't see it as a whole, and the thumbnail is just too tiny In the tiny one it looks like it's a tree standing next to water, while big sized it looks like it roots dig into some evil-shadow world [s]I'd like to know how high it is, because like Shadow says, it's not that clear...[/s]* [quote name='Muratus del Mur' timestamp='1293769209' post='76447'] lets generalise this...i like to think my purpose in life is to have each day idle in such way [/quote] I know the feeling very well Schoolwork - painting - schoolwork - painting (...)

The log of the Winter Soltice or Yule Ceremony ~ Day: 355 Year: 5 ~ [Spoiler] After gathering at the Inn, we went to the Mistletoe Bridge, where our Druid Shemhazaj climbed one of the trees. There he cut some Mistletoe with his Golden Sicle. The pretty Priestesses ran under it, gathering the falling bits of Mistletoe.

-Every weather pattern has it's 'good' an 'bad' points Rain can slow you down (a bit, don't go in extremes like movelock etc :/) but it might refresh water beeings, while lessen the power of a fire elemental. Storm could cause arrows of LR archers to be less affective, and birds would be less effective, but it won't affect the heavy grassan in a wayn which would make it more effective compared to other creatures, for example. -Ofcourse, it just won't affect indoors. -The "wetness" factor, is not something I like. Just don't make it all too complicated. -Every land another weather pattern seems ok to me, but maybe it's a little bit too much. you can go from LR to MB in 10 seconds, and having another weather pattern there just makes things weird. When you walk out of your town, the weather is not going to change either, does it? -As for 'seasons': they can't be RL based, it's too stretched. (and remember the Earth has 2 sides, so with which one would it be corresponding?). Maybe each month, I think that'd be a good timelength.

I also think weather should be able to influence actual gameplay, otherwise, it's just a picture in the trigger box, and mostly ignored. Which makes it rather, dull. As I said in the topic about 'season signatures' (or something like that) it would be nice too to have 'constant weather', With month X more sunny, and month Y more rainy I have no idea if that is code-able though.

I was thinking right the same there Rhaeg. And then some sort of "always weather" thing (random, so there's always smt in the triggers) then MD could have it's own seasons (like, month X there is more rain, and month Y the sun shines a lot) Offtopicness?

[quote name='Muratus del Mur' timestamp='1291165439' post='73888'] The build materials of an arhitect are not bricks and mortar, they are lines on a paper that make those brinks and mortar to be a certain way. [/quote] As a student architecture I have to disagree with that line... An architect can have this magnificent idea on paper, making the "bricks and mortar" to be extrordinary good looking, etc Yet if it can't be built, or collapses there is no use of it. OR, it can look amazing on paper, but aweful in real. Some things do need to look good in real, fysically, and not on paper, or in the mind.

If you wanna send one to me, PM me *opens a word doc and starts making a list*

1. Make art my job Why yes? After some more practice, I might be able to sell stuff Why not? It's difficult to get a good living out of it - and I don't wanna end up poor Why? I Love Art 2. Go out into the forest and just run Why yes? I could leave right now, and be there in 5 minutes Why not? There's snow and the damn thing called Winter Why? I need to empty my mind 3. Empty my mind Why yes? I could go running right now (see above wish ) Why not? I don't have time - art school kills free time Why? I need it, everyone needs it I think. And of course all the things like "I wish I should clean my room" Why not? I'm on 'energy saving mode' (aka lazy)

I'm at art school, and there I learned to see things how I normally shouldn't see things. Bit it is true that teachers can only teach art techniques. If something doesn't work well, lay it down and start something else I have a dozen of unfinished paintings in my room, but I know I wil ltake them again later. Never, EVER rip apart pieces of art. My room is full of paper with sketches, and sometimes I see one thinking "I can do that with it" and then I start over with it, and it ends up looking well. Keep sketches in a map, and skip through them when you need inspiration. and I mean EVERY sketch, even if it's horrible - it'll end up better when you rework it.

You get something free, and then sell it? Bah For anyone wanting Ts's, some people will give them free, there is no need to pay.

Can't you people read? And Rex, how many awards do you want? 100? Your list looked very random to me... I'd just keep the awards on the main things really...

Just... Learn from past mistakes... Seriously... Not.. Again.

Well, you could take any drawing and make it blue with a color filter...

Is it possible to get a good looking artwork instead of just White-on-blue text?

Exactly!

Actually, I was referring to the golden-yellow prehistoric forum ... >.< It had an artwork as header, winds sanct. if I remember right
