One last post before school starts, and it also ended up being the most complex thing I've done to date, I do believe!
4 light sources instead of my usual 0, full background, altered colors to fit the environment, added darkness effects, a passable flame and it has a decent sense of perspective!
I'm really proud of this, if you couldn't tell.
I also really love the little chat story thingy I whipped up to give this a bit more substance, it reads like a mini scary story and I've never done that before so the fact that it works rather seamlessly makes me so happy.
The warden also makes me happy. Both here and in the game. He is a leafy moss-monster in my book and that will not change.
I know that as of right now we don't have a ton of information on him, but there's so much potential for him to be this very lore heavy, game changer of a mob, and I want to get so excited about the possibilities but I also don't want to feel let down if they don't come to pass.
I could ramble on, but school's starting and I gotta get some sleep. Might post more, might have no time or motivation too. We'll see what happens.
