At your service :-)
I'm the MC of the CCC. Master of Coordination, that is. I can barely manage my own familiar <hey!> But I manage to coordinate pretty well <*sniff* matter of opinion>

As for joining the group, I sent you an invite... Check your messages ("Messages->message inbox" on the left-hand side). OTR, could you invite him also? One of them ought to go through.

<...to hammer home the point>

Thanks to some assistance from Rolo, the bulk of the grunt work is done on the umbrellas.  Using Lisa's dragon umbrella model, I did 2 sets of 9.  The first set has a very specific pattern and the spines are visible.  The second set are more abstract fabrics.  All the textures came from either Jenna or a web search.  Most of them had to be adjusted somewhat.  Much like TAD, I'm don't feel like doing the inventory icons right now.  *playful wink*  Pictures of all 18 umbrellas are posted in the project gallery.

Rolo Kipp; I'm afraid that I haven't received any message from you, But i have created an album, If you or any other member wish to see what I have done until now can do it there....

[Jenna WSI]

Those are really great Lass! I like having so many choices.

Had a bit of time this weekend and threw a few icons down for this ranging in all sizes and shapes. I've got some portraits as well and will try to get them knocked out too.

Gorgeous, precise and finicky, as usual Bm :-)
Looking forward to the portraits, too.
Maybe we can get some modeler to grab a handful of clay and sculpt the things :-)
They all look worthwhile.

Some masks designed as aligned head VFX to match the colors of those mask icons wold be cool.

I decided not to be lazy and work on the arabian nights tileset. First I made a few desert and mountain tiles to have somewhere to put the city.



I will now start to work on the city wall tiles. The mountain tiles are actually cliff tiles from the forest tileset with parts from the underdark tileset to replace the black tops of the tiles. I don't think I'll get a whole city and the mountains finished in a month so I decided to use existing tiles for the mountains instead of making my own.
I wanted those mountain tiles because I don't like flat tiles at the edge of an area.

Zwekules: Nice rocks!

TheSpiritedLass: I like those umbrellas.

Birdman076: Thems is some nice icons.

_six: You've got some serious talent with the tiles. I think polishing that set up and releasing it would make a nice addition to this month's theme.

You "threw" those together over the weekend?! Oh! My! 

Would you make a steel tessen icon for me? Pretty please?! 



I'll be modeling it pretty close to this.

Ciao!

Oh! Same size as kama - 64x64 Toodles!

<feeling the bumps...>

Damn. I sure wish we had real bump-mapping :-P

<...on his head>

[henesua]

Can't you achieve post-process bumpmaps if you set up the textures to work with Peachy Keen's add ons? Like NW Shader and the newer Voodoo project?

[Rolo Kipp]

<dropping breadcrumbs...>

While I'm watching the Voodoo project <a bit idly>, I know nothing about how to take advantage of it.

<...'cuz he's pretty much lost>

[henesua]

Someone at Q might have that knowledge, and Chico of NWNCQ definitely does. But the best place to go is Peachy Keen. She certainly knows.

Maybe. :-)

*jaw drops*  Amazing icons as always Birdman!

Ohhhhh, Z is doing a tileset?  *quickly orders more drool towels*

So the first batch of umbrellas and icons are done.

Oh! You darling!

I'm so happy with that, I wont even ask for the shinobi-zue 
Not sure exactly how I'm doing it, for one 

The Keen Birdman Tessen first, then we'll see 

@ Spirited Sister: Very pretty, but do any of them have shiny-bright blades hidden in the handle? 
If not, I'll pass... too girly.

Now, can someone point me at the thread that mentioned off-hand weapons acting like shields? I'd really like to get some Shield AC out of these tessen...

Off Weederzayin

[henesua]

Vibrant... you can adjust an item in the toolset to give an AC bonus. I once gave Bards a steel drum weapon that could also be used as a shield. Worked well - except for the fact that it had ribbons and looked like a tambourine.

Thank you every, I only wish I could expand to models. Maybe some day

Vibrant, post up the image of a Shinobi-Zue and i'll get it done, home sick from work because my son decided to share his bug and I rolled light on my save.

I want something that stacks, not another deflection or dodge bonus...
I don't know. I've never made weapons before.

One of the points of the tessen and shinobi-zue is they do not look like weapons. In fact, I intend to blueprint them with a variable NotWeapon that I hope builder's will check (city guards and such). So your tambourine would suit.

@ Master Bird: The shinobi-zue is a staff with concealed blades (usually just one).


Mine will break apart into two ninjato blades (offest, each blade sheaths in the opposite pommel). So it will be a wooden staff with two silk-wrapped grips and a split brass boss in the center and brass tips. The pommel above would be lengthened and the blade shortened (blade will be 90% length of pommel). Does that make sense?

The idea is to give it a unique power that when used (and equipped and have exotic feat) auto-magically replaces (and equips!) one staff weapon with dual-wielding ninjato. They, in turn will have the unique power to transform back into staff weapon.

So I can't really tell you what it looks like until I make it  
And that comes after the tessen.

I can only lead you to the water. You are the one that should check if it is drinkable.

things are looking awesome

Well, this one was fun and a challenge and I hope it is something close to what you are looking for. Top image is the original image, second is the original sized revamp and the third is the icon for the "weapon".

 I like being fun and challenging!

And it certainly is close! 

Here's my quick and dirty version of how close!


It's just that the staff splits in the middle... otherwise there's that middle chunk of wood that has to go somewhere when the blades come out...

Thank you Birdman. I'm happy 

Nightnight!
