Chrysalis series

[Kyriakos]

Much like the Chrysalis is the object built so that the butterfly can morph into its final and most elegant stage, this is also the title of the new set (and also my new book to be printed in a month )

A different take, and the megapolis/metropolis is not created yet:

Views?

I know I'm always saying I love particular sets of yours but once again...

I love it! I'd say that is one of your best ever sets so far! Great ballance of bigger and smaller buildings. Bautiful layout. Superbly strong looking walls. Nice colours. Just do a metro and I'll be a happy man!

I like the size of each city and the size of each building. Not sure about the wall's shape though.

I still don't like the shadows' orientation, it would be better if it matched the units' shadows.

 

[Kyriakos]

Thank you both. This isn't yet finished anyway

 

[Kyriakos]

What do you think of the size/colors?

Will be testing them in-game next.

 

[Kyriakos]

I think that a deep red will be better, but otherwise it looks ok:

 

[ShiroKobbure]

very nice

 

[nick0515]

I think it looks great. I like the wall shape too personally. Definitely think red would be better.

 

[Balthasar]

Try a more ceramic color, like ochre.

 

[Kyriakos]

Still needs a lot of work (particularly the horrible large temple), but what do you think of the new layout?

 

[Rob (R8XFT)]

Nice, but I agree with the others about the colouring. When I saw the title of the series, I immediately thought "Kafka" for some reason .

 

[Kyriakos]

Hm, yes

Anyway, i will test the color more in-game, and size #2 will be a bit more rounded-up in the end than currently:

 

[Kyriakos]

Some more changes, but still loads to do and the lighting is a bit stranger currently. Any specific suggestions would be very helpful

Also, is the size ok or small?

 

[Quintillus]

Looks pretty good. I like the new layout in post #10 - the buildings are a bit more distinct. From the in-game screenshots, it looks like the cities are a bit too far to the upper-left compared to where the game would expect them to be - and actually a bit more so in post #11 than post #6.

Looking forward to seeing how it winds up!

 

[Kyriakos]

It is a long way from being finished, anyway.

Some celtic stuff too:

 

[Kyriakos]

Any suggestions?

Particularly on lighting, cause it looks a bit plastic right now i think.

 

[nick0515]

Wow the celtic set looks great! It's a bit dark maybe though? I would dearly love to see the celtic set finished!

 

[Kyriakos]

Some progress, still long way to go:

 

[Kyriakos]

Celtic center of town will massively change, but things are moving on a bit:

Looking good so far, I love the Metro.
