Well, as work has been pretty busy, I haven't spent much time on all things epic this week. I do think I'll find some time to draw this weekend, though.
About eldar buildings: I have all of the eldar codices and several other sources of background art. I have to say, though, most of the buildings depicted are pretty ugly and uninspired. Designing one-off structures is simple enough, but bringing them together into a unified 'city' usually ends in a muddled mess. Eldar are supposed to be masters of aesthetics, so I infer that every structure they create would jive with the surrounding structures and land. Individual buildings would have divergent forms, but taken together all the structure would blend into a cohesive whole.
Therein lies the challange: creating unique individual structures that can be placed along side each other to create a city that is more than the sum of its parts (as opposed to looking like a bunch of crazy-straws jammed into trhe ground next to each other). Most of the existing background art usually falls into the crazy-straw category.
That being said, I do think the dome tree idea will work, but like I said, I haven't been able to dedicate much time to it this week.
Well sema ... you design'm & I'm sure that mammal in TX can make'm ...
And I sure the locals here would like some ...
"It you make them ... " Well you know the rest ...
I look foward to seeing them. Â I'm pretty sure I'll want some !
