(WIP) Mural Sets 3 & 4 (+ Talk About Textures) (Patreon)

Giving you lovely patrons an exclusive look at the mural tests!!

Set 3 will be 10-tile murals (I'm not sure why I kept thinking 12, they've always been 10). There won't be quite as many swatches as I'd hoped, as I've decided some of the textures just Ain't It, and if CC isn't up to my standard of use then I'm not going to post it until I can fix it. MOST of them will be seamless, however, and I'm actually going to try and make one or two non-seamless ones blend better before I upload the set.

Set 4 is an experiment I attempted today of 20-tile murals. This one is more hit-and-miss, because many seamless and non-seamless panoramas are more suited for the 20-tile ratio, as opposed to the 10-tile one. 

It's all based on the texture sizes of the murals vs. regular wall tiles. Essentially, there is a fixed height for the Small, Medium, and Tall wall heights; meaning, a 20 tile mural will have a different aspect ratio than a 10 tile mural. If I try to put a very elongated mural on a 10-tile sized texture, it's going to look VERY squashed! Therefore, I need to make it longer. Easy, right? ...Kind of. 10-tile mural textures are over 1000px in width, meanwhile, 20-tile murals are over 5000px in width. This makes texturing tricky and even more frustrating than usual, and while it opens the door to more murals that fit that ratio, finding textures that look good with those dimensions will be difficult.

TL;DR; I'm trying to make everything look good for y'all!! I do want to get these out ASAP so I can focus entirely on commissions, and then start the big November project of WWI and Edwardian-era portraits.

Please don't hesitate to message me if you have any questions/comments/etc. ^^ 

I hope y'all have a lovely weekend!
