What a difficult and stressful project ! That being said I really enjoyed making it, I wanted to do a tavern pic for a while because my "Hop on the lovetrain" is one of my favorite I've made, even though it's pretty old now. I didn't get much info for this request that Novarh got on twitter but I decided to let my imagination roll :3 !
The objective was to have our cute little Lilli Ticklespark paired with a goblin in a tavern decor.
I loved the idea ! And so instead of using a default tavern from WoW I decided to make my own. But I wanted to add more people to the pic without crashing my old laptop haha. I added Reva and Novarh and our french friend ( the barman) who was already there in my "hop on the lovetrain" pic but something was still missing. Background details.
It's been a while since I added patrons names to the pic and that's where the $3/$10 squad came in a saved the day (I wasn't expecting so many of you to be honest). With everyone's names set (except one, I'll come back to that later), it was time to do a test render. Crash. Tested again, crashed.
My stress level skyrocketed, what did I do wrong ? There was no grass, no fur, nothing really pulling on my old laptop. Was my Acer dying ? I ran to Novarh who came upstairs, did my updates and some other computer dark magic. We tried again and...Crash. After much thinking and stressing, Sunday was getting closer. I had to find a solution. So, one by one I hid the objects, rendered,failed. Hid an other object,rendered,failed. Until I found the doomed artifact of doom. The render killer and stress maker.
You see at the top left of the pic, there's a jar of Void cookies.
Yes. It was the cookies. I put way too much polygons in the cookies and my poor Acer couldn't handle that !
Once the madness over, I have to find I name for the tavern and I had character in mind but no idea for the actual name ! So, I decided to DM our Louve Arctique Kyvee. Who came up with the great Idea to name the place "Kyvee's Pleasure Den" ! And with that, everyone's name as now set in the pic and the project was finally ready to be rendered !
What a wild ride. But I'm so happy with it !
Sorry for the long post :/
