Mansion Environment (fountain)

Heres a possible setting with the fountain posted by darkness_falls.

[sparhawk]

Looks cool. That in the middle is this a basin where the fountain is in?

[Darkness_Falls]

Excellent! Looks cool. I'll reply more later tonight. I need to kick around some ideas.

[_Atti_]

looks good..is there water between that man and the fountain..i mean is that a pool or its just the floor being higher?

 

just imagine that its night outside and you can see the starry sky reflecting on the water..so it would be cool if there was water there...

[Fingernail]

presumably it's a pool of water....yes....with some coins that people hav thrown in waiting to be stolen...and perhaps the odd ring???

[kfmccall]

Yeah the floor was meant to be higher in that area, sorry that wasn't sketched clear.

[_Atti_]

well pool or just a higher floor the ai will surely have problems with it if we wont include some stairs:D

[Darkness_Falls]

Yeah, I think it'd be cool if it was a pool of water. Imagining this scene in a dark, moody Thief universe sounds so wonderful!

[god_is_my_goldfish]

I love it, i can't wait to see this kind of stuff in game

[saxmeister]

Excellent concept art... I'm drooling! That would be a beautiful scene....

[oDDity]

That's cool, but where is it supposed to be, it's just a massive empty room.

[Darkness_Falls]

Clearly it's a hallway, adjoining two different sections of the mansion Maybe outside the windows, at either side of the "hallway," there are guards walking around in a courtyard. I love big rooms like this with rope arrows. Maybe some of the beams could be made of wood and when you get high toward the ceiling it's really dark. As well, maybe we could place certain artifacts (jewelry, busts, masks, etc.) around the perimeter of the room. And maybe at the top of the fountain, a couple gold coins; that are only accessible if you lower yourself down a rope from the ceiling. And if you have to play Donkey Kong, Jr. to get to a rope in the center of the room because the ceiling is so high, then so be it. Again, I love high-ceilinged rooms for purposes of rope arrows.

 

EDIT: Remember these are concepts. We "imagine" the possibilities; not stunt the creativity.

and another beauty there.

 

Great work, truly inspiring.

i like that second one a lot more than first one..

its more realistic/believable..

[sparhawk]

IMO they fit very well together. Even though the second one looks a bit like a goverment house.

[Darkness_Falls]

I like 'em both, but I actually like the first better. With rhe right colors, lighting and textures, they could both work very well.

[Renzatic]

I love it. That pic is perfect for a museum or any other type of grand public building..I've already got a picture in my head for the lighting and color and everything, so it'll probably be the first one I build.
