Can't really say anything about the slabs. I don't like them, they feel out of place, but I have no idea how to improve them either.
I have to stop here.
The point is that slabs actually are in place from my point of view. Yes, they don't look like tombs or graveyard slabs etc. But let me explain.
1. Unlike casket/coffin, slab doesn't necessary means to be a grave, you can place it without engraving it, and it will increase room value just like statue and other furniture.
2. Unlike statue, it is passable tile, and i'd like to draw it as passable. Of course, cabinet is passable too, but i can't make cabinet hidden under floor level
3. How does it looks like from a point of a real world? Everyone remember that cyberpunk idea. "High tech low life". So, check this out:
Here we see clean developing upper world with huge stock of goods,
fancy interiors, windows, that are hard-to-produce and valuable improvement
(modest quarters use grates instead) etc.
And 2 floors below we see dirty streets with ground walls and no roads at all, random workshops with
piles of junk and vomit tracks, "drawn" by miners, who aren't satisfied by their job.
I think i'm digging deepSo, what am i trying to say. Dwarves are
short, sturdy creatures fond of drink and industry, who live in dangerous and sick world of endless fun. And medieval wasn't friendly time too. But what i'm drawing here is not about medieval, it's about renaissance. One of most important milestones of our civilisation. So, dwarves still are dirty and still pouring magma onto their enemies, traitors, heretics and cats (by some strange reason). And at the same time they like to live in prosperity and develop their artist skills. They are miners, and they pretend to be roman patricians.
That's a statue. It's not gothic at all, but it fits into that idea of "High tech low life". It's dawn of new Era in this incarnation of
ARMOK's world, so why not to make other site improvements to look a bit out of place?
Recently i asked you a permission to make graphic set based on letters, just like yours. But two or three days ago, when i started working on it, i realised that you actually was right about the fact, that i should stick with initial concept, and should base my graphic set on Dόrer works. So i have to say sorry for misleading you
Also sorry for this big-text-out-of-nowhere, i felt i must clarify my ideas. And thanks for feedback
Tl;drI'll redraw casket instead. Casket is out of place.
