I don't like it because its too tame and boring. But I sketched out a dozen other concepts in my sketchbook before falling asleep, and I think I've found traction. If I do nothing else for this challenge, I will have several gnarled trees.

Hmmmm... spirals? dead, warped branches spiraling around in a sort of wooden DNA model? Spirals have such a *surprising* length when they suddenly come to life and smack you a good one ;-)

Wheels within wheels, Sahib!

               Working on some portraits, I don't recall seeing any of these before though I may be mistaken. If anyone recognizes any from a hak or something already in existence please let me know and I will remove it.

               Those are really cool. The framing is perfect in my tastes too, not too focused on faces nor too scenic.

               I just realized we really need a cool looking grave hound '>

                New directions

The fallen tree with radiating crown of roots:




The hulking giant mass that in silhoutte could be a giant or could be a tree but you just aren't sure:




I'll post my progress on the crown of roots tree as it develops. Started work this morning on the bus to work. It still looks like an inorganic mass of quads. Not worth looking at yet.

               NWN doesn't have a Nuckelavee yet. Maybe if I've got enough time I'll make one.

               Something that could be easy to make.. what about placeables that are long bits of hanging moss? Then any tree can be made to look creepy. Just look at some pictures of graveyards in New Orleans or Savannah Georgia to see it.

I'd also LOVE a few paintings with eyes that 'follow' you in an animation. How about dishes/potted plants/bottles that float through the air (poltregeists)  or candles that burn in weird colors? Just plunder disney for ideas (haunted castle or horror themed movies).

               Maybe a pictue that has eyes that follow you somehow?

A animated picture placeable?

A placeable little spider.

               Another idea is blood-stained clothing appearances. Of course it's limited by the base appearance if it's done via texture of the clothing itself, but maybe instead of doing it by texture, a series of VFX can be added on nodes.

For example, the Acid Drip visual of weapons (but made red) along with the visual for Wounding weapons could be placed a little ways in the character to make it look like he has bleeding and gaping wounds.

Those in Q are very nice too! I'll probably change the textures in the model to Q textures if I use these trees in goblinboy. I really like project Q and think more assets should work with it.

If you didn't mind, I'd love to put your trees in Q, with maybe a couple of changes depending on how the rest look.

I wouldn't mind at all. But I think the assets should be different for Q. I thought the rule with the challenge was that submitted works can not be released separately.

That said, I'd be happy to make some models for Q.

               Were that the case I'd hazard it'd make it very difficult to make use of all these lovely assets. I always assumed it was just that they must not be separately available during or immediately after the challenge, and have thusly included all my submissions for it so far into Q. Nobody's told me to stop yet '>

Personally, I'd think twice before submitting content for this challenge if it was unable to be posted or used elsewhere.

               No problem then. I'll follow your lead. So I think the thing to do then is to use NWN's textures (v 1.69) for this challenge, and Q textures for Q. I'll include custom textures in both releases.

Onward. And don't look down. If you don't look down you can walk in thin air. I've seen Bugs Bunny do it.
