Padomaic Abyss: An 8 month project

[SnippyChris]

Greetings Kibblesticks,

 

This mod sounds unique in so many ways! Make sure to keep all of us posted on the ins and outs, and if you need feedback I'm sure we would all love to help. Keep this mod alive and know the reward is greater than the work! Btw. thanks for stopping by the Dungeons & Draugr Thread.

[kibblesticks]

Thanks for the words of encouragement SnippyChris! It's so motivating to hear people's support. Dungeons and Draugr seems to be picking up steam, so good luck with that!

 

Here's a random assortment of props I made for the mod so far. These are all things I did over summer, before I came up with my proper schedule, so excuse the randomness of the selection.
Since we've just moved into our uni house I've been using unpacking as an excuse to not do any modelling the past few days. Everything's set up now though so updates will be much more structured from here on out and you'll be able to see the world taking shape.

Random collection I know, I have an organisation chart all set up so from now on it won't just be little experiments but fully finished, usable assets.

Hay guys, I'm also working as part of the team.

 

I am currently working on a amour set for a queen/princess of the underwater civilisation. Here is my initial concept block out and mood board:

I have done alot more work on the amour since, so i'll be posting a update shortly ^^

[kibblesticks]

Spent the last week developing the idea and running it past the lecturers in presentations. We got the brief which requires us to do lots more concept art before starting the project proper so here's a few more bits and bobs.

And concept for the maelstrom portal to the abyss by me:

Is this by any way connected to the Maelstrom of Bal? Looks really awesome.

[kibblesticks]

Thanks for the positive comment mindw0rk2 :) Hopefully we'll be able to cook up something no-one has ever seen before!

FaneSeinof, Thanks! I read Doors of Oblivion ages ago but had forgotten about The Maelstrom of Bal :pinch: It's a very similar phenomenon so thankyou for bringing it up, we'll have to tweak it a bit to make sure no-one gets confused. For the record our maelstrom is called Zir's Gullet, and the surrounding rocks are known as Zir's Maw.

I continue to be impressed every time I check in. Lots of talent on this team.

[kibblesticks]

Thanks very much Corwin, it means a lot that people take the time to leave positive feedback! I'll pass on your compliments to the team.
