Artist's Comments

Isometric or non-isometric, I never understood which is which , but I think this is isometric?

Furcadia will be updating again soon, and it's kind of becoming a tradition that when Furcadia updates, I update Draygans Hollow in time to be reloaded when the game is.

I also work on new scenes because it's really the only way I can offer help in looking for glitches or bugs. Seeing as I'm computer retarded.
In a way, Draygans Hollow is a money maker for me, so it's smart to keep it updated, too.

ANYWAY, about the art. It's pixel art using Furcadia's color pallette.
There are some default Furcadia graphics in here, those are the underlying grass and dirt tiles (just the flat grass tile in the top screenshot). These are provided to Furcadia users to help them build maps.

The rest of the artwork is by myself (I THINK.. there may be a few more default items snaked in there that slipped past my eye, but I can't see any).

Warning! .. If you don't play Furcadia, some of the stuff I'm about to say won't make a lick of sense.

I really like building these little scenes. I was going for an English graveyard for the yard, but I didn't quite get the effect I wanted. The hills don't rise as much as I'd like them too and I would have been happier with darker greens and dirt. I also tried a new landscaping trick. The hills the stones are sitting on are actually enormous single items, placed to the south edge of the square and cropped down a little to keep them from clipping the avatars.
The only downside I saw to this was that when it's done with floor tiles instead.. you can usually get more shapes out of less graphic. (And there for less space).
But on the bright side, it saved me hours of playing floor tile jigsaw, which I'm terrible at.

I was winging it for the inside of the tomb (mosaleum? I don't know what the hell that thing is or what culture it identifies with, but I'm calling it a tomb for convenience sake!). I couldn't figure out what I wanted.
At first it was going to be a church, but the limited amount of space to work with depressed me. I like big churches with lots of hidey places. So I nicked that idea and leaned more toward a catacombs. I'm happy with the result!

.. I just wish it had more hidey places. Maybe later!
I still intend to add a trap door that goes underground, or another room WITH a trap door in it. But that might be for another day, I'm running out of time, and will need to get straight back to commissions as soon as Furcadia updates. Everything is kind of on hold right now. (Don't worry commissioners, regardless of an update or not, I will be getting back to commissions by the end of this coming week).

I'm not sure exactly how many puppies I would kill to get patching like that... but it would be a lot of puppies.

A lot of -cute- puppies.

There is no doubt in me. My will is the fibre of the cosmos. Victory is an inevitability.
:iconzombietoaster:
Yes this is isometric. Isometric is a certain angle that things are shown at. And furcadia amongst many other games and chats uses it.

Really nice work by the way.
:iconkadin:
That's...pretty damn amazing. :o Very nice.

This is great, I've been to the dream a few times - not sure where exactly it is, was always summoned. Anyways, it was kinda funny cause as I was looking at this and listening to music this.. old sort of gothic era 'singing' came on. -giggle-

The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to indure, to transform, to love and to be grater than our suffering.
