This wall was basically me just fiddeling around with some things. I'm developing concepts for other walls, but
first I needed something to experiment with. So, I sought to improve upon the things needed for my other idea - my sky
backgrounds, ocean BGs, and lighting effects. While I am happy with the wall, I feel as though something is missing XD .
Keep in mind this wall was an experiment ... and that I have a tendancy to be a perfectionist, so excuse the ramblings
about what I dislike XD .
Anyway, the scene is between Chi and Hedeki having another cute moment together. The setting is at a guardrail less
balcony overlooking the ocean. I've got a thing for lighthouses and to better balance off that side, I've
placed a little island and a, well lighthouse. Little light particles and particles from the ocean float through the
scene to add more warmth and a peaceful glow. Various spots as you may have noticed are brighter than others due to the
beams of light shining in from the side. Little seagulls are also in the BG to enhance the effect of the overall oceanic
feel.
Bleh, I've overtextured the pillars and made the shadow side too dark XD . Besides that, I'm happy with the
pillar modifications, as well as the floor angle. Floor could probably use more texturing XD .
The original scan had writing, text, advertisements, you name it all over it. I had to re-do some of the areas, as well
as patch up some spots. Anoying little bugger in some spots, but well worth it for the final effect.
The "motif" was placed in the left corner as to not disrupt the flow of the wall. I've been trying to
think of ways to prevent rippers from thier evil deeds and placing a hard to modify "motif" on walls seems to
help, as well as signing the bottom. Bleh, I hate rippers had to deal with one today. Sometimes, its good to just throw
some people into lakes and never return.
Simple wall really. I've seen a lot of ocean walls lately though ... oh well XD . Anyway, other stuff:
