The Raven Harp

How did you know I had sexually attractive ravens in mind? Stop looking into my brain! :ph34r:

 

Looks great. More original than I had imagined it.

 

I like the inclusion of a key too. Someone's been reading!

On another note, I know it's a detail, but I can get picky about this stuff:

 

I'm not entirely cool with the moon-ish symbol. As you may see in the pic, I erased what was there before quite often. Here's what I tried and why I skipped it.

  • Triscel - too celtic
  • Pertho or Mekstave Algiz rune - too germanic (looks like nazi-harp)
  • Pentagram or Heptagram - too D&Desque
  • Planetary Saturn or Pluto sign - could work, but doesn't go too well with the rest
  • Classical Elemental Earth symbol - a bit too sharp cornered, also not the best choice in means of relation to the object
  • Elder Sign or Yellow Sign - As much as I like Lovecraftian references, I don't think they're ok for a key item

I also thought of a keyhole, but settled for her carrying a key instead. An alternative could be one of the classic Thief runes from TDP. Any suggestions?

No Thief symbols, please. We're staying away from any runes or glyphs from the original games.

 

I don't see a problem with the moon as a symbol...don't fret over it too much, as the object is going to be small enough that the symbol won't likely be very visible anyway.

Don't worry, I'll stick with my ambients in future...

I don't know, from the looks of that, I think you should stick to the concept art)

It'll be a bitch to model, but all the best stuff is.

Ah, seems my friend who hosted it for me finaly canceled his ISP contract. This means I'll have to relocate my ambients and stuff like this on the FTP.

 

I don't have the bandwidth here to upload all ambients now, but I will attach the ravenharp image to this post for the time being.

 

[edit: hmm that didn't work, and I get invalid pwd or username for the ftp]

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).

      Well then, it's been about a week since I released my first FM and I must say that I was very pleasantly surprised by its reception. I had expected half as much interest in my short little FM as I received and even less when it came to positive feedback, but I am glad that the aspects of my mission that I put the most heart into were often the most appreciated. It was also delightful to read plenty of honest criticism and helpful feedback, as I've already been given plenty of useful pointers on improving my brushwork, level design, and gameplay difficulty.
      I've gotten back into the groove of chipping away at my reading and game list, as well as the endless FM catalogue here, but I may very well try my hand at the 15th anniversary contest should it materialize. That is assuming my eyes are ready for a few more months of Dark Radiant's bright interface while burning the midnight oil, of course!
