Creatures Caves

Mea has decided to post the progress of her newest metaroom background, the Fire & Ice Lake, here on Creatures Caves. This metaroom background will be completely drawn and colored by hand in various computer art programs, like Chione's background.

The basic idea for this metaroom is a freshwater lake formed between a glacier & a hotspring. I decided to make a freshwater pond or lake after reading all the comments about a lack of freshwater metarooms. I couldn't think of any ideas for a normal ordinary lake, so I decided to go with this idea when it occurred to me.

Feel free to post comments, suggestions & questions. I'll answer what I can, & who knows, maybe a few of the suggestions will make it into the final background.

So far, we have seen the starting sketches, and been shown how to tweak the sketch to make sure that norns will be able to move freely in the metaroom. Pictured here is Mea's mascot, Lady Borgetta, squeezing through a formerly tight gap. We've also been shown how to avoid wall-climbing problems in the room, by squaring off the corners.

Stay tuned for more in Mea's Fire & Ice Lake topic!
