I've been writing and sketching many ages for months now (purely for my own inquisitive pleasure), but I was delighted to hear that you can actually render and create them! So for my first rendered age, I've decided to go with a relatively simple design (since I'm still at a total loss for using rendering software ).
This is what I envisioned:
Name: Eder Caladh
Number: ????
Dimensions: Approx. 315x225m (?) (avatar:???)
Lighting: Hazy, dim; early dawn.
Textures: Woody trunk, granulated sand, weathered rock, autumn (deciduous) foliage, reeds, lilies (pads and flowers).
Sounds: Croaking, buzzing, chirping, chirring, waves (as they lap shore).
Summary: A sheltered cove; rocky, weathered cliffs enclose the basin on three sides. Tall, deciduous trees populate the shallow basin. Reeds and lilies protrude from the water’s surface also. Insects and birds can be heard in the trees, but not seen - the croaks of some amphibian can also be heard. The time is just before sunrise. The season is autumn, and the foliage is tinted in shades of red and yellow. The air temperature is fairly cool, as is the water.
I myself am sort of an artist (atleast I am told so by my peers) so I've been busy at work sketching out my ideas and concepts for this age - my rest age. But I'd like other's opinions on this. Do you think that this idea is feasible? And is is alright?
I'll post some of my sketches at a later time.
