Feral Heart

hi! i'm working on a four-clan warrior cats map. i've got a height map all done up but i'm.... honestly just a bit lazy and generally bad at doing masks, so i'd appreciate it if someone could do the mask for me!

- i will answer any volunteers for this through DM because i don't want any freeloaders coming in & stealing my height map
- in doing this you're also free to use my height map however u please!
- if you don't want the height map i'll also gladly do 3 mesh retextures for you of your choice (so long as they're within my abilities!)

tysm ! <3

hey guys! i don't do proper digital art particularly but i am the type to paint and whatnot (and i can scan them so its, essentially digital art / but im too lazy to do that with what i currently have, lmao). i haven't done requests threads before so forgive me if this is a bit sloppy.

note that i won't be doing all requests just ones i'm interested in & feel like doing.
example of my art are below. sorry it's like...... SUPER sloppy. but u get the gist and i'll take better pictures with actual effort put into them for completed requests!!!!

i love interaction a lot so an ask thread for me sounds like a great idea? lol. feel free to send any kind of inquiries because i love that pleasant bit of attention! some information about myself is below if you wanna ask about anything pertaining specifically to those topics! But don't feel limited by what's listed u can literally ask me what my favorite food is or how many dogs i have lol

ANSWERED QUESTIONS WILL BE LISTED BELOW.

When did you join FH/how did you find out about it?

i first joined feralheart when i was 10, so like in 2011! i believe i found it in like, the Ancient Traditionalist way.  i wanted an animal game.  i found wolfquest.  wolfquest, at that time (idk if it's improved as of lately, almost 6 years later), sucked.  so i went here instead& it taught me a lot about rping and writing which was great!!!

Dream occupation?
Anywhere specific you'd like to visit in your future?
Favorite TV Show?

DREAM OCCUPATION:  would love to be a film director tbh, but that probably won't happen.  i'm trying very hard though and if not film director i'd always love to be director of photography/cinematography or simply write or touch up scripts!
ANYWHERE I'D LIKE TO VISIT: honestly just any desert? i love how they look. i love the sand.  i love the heat and the stark contrast between a blue sky and a yellow ground and the succulents that grow there.  that would be super neat.
FAVORITE TV SHOW: i really don't watch tv shows too much.... honestly its lame but the one thats stuck with me the most is probably malcolm in the middle.  it's a mostly-narrativeless comedy show but it very good through its runtime and the humor matched my own and their casting choices were very diverse and thoughtful, and honestly for a show about a prodigal-genius fourteen year old the lessons and morals it taught were very good and meaningful.  it was one of those shows that got really deep at times...... which actually. reminds me that i also Love Scrubs.  basically the same set-up as malcolm in the middle they are suuuucchhh good shows!!!

What's your favorite book?
Favorite fruit?
What makes you interested in sociology?
What is your worst fear?
Bruce Springsteen, eh? Have you tried listening to Rick Springfield or Jeff Beck?
David Bowie?

FAVORITE BOOK:  my favorite book is DEFINITELY the original battle royale novel by Koushun Takami. it's an incredible narrative that's sadly been shamelessly stolen& copied off of by the hunger games trilogy, but is truly one of the most upstanding fictional books with a strong antifascism message that is genuinely relatable and applicable in real life - and that message comes from a book about junior high students forced to violently kill one another, lol.  there's a character for everyone in this novel & another bonus? it references bruce springsteen & other rock music artist repeatedly
FAVORITE FRUIT: ummm are lemons fruit because. if so. it's them.
WHAT MAKES YOU INTERESTED IN SOCIOLOGY? probably its significance in human history and the importance of it and what it's brought light to in the future, idk.  i initially got interested in it when i read up on WWII propaganda & dehumanisation methods from similar genocides or authoritarian takeover.  this is a really deep answer to this question but sociology is extremely important to me & i think that interest should correlate more closely w/ world issues now.  like.  people can talk to me all they want about the business side of politics / the "admirability" of Powerful Leaders and their methods / economics / etc but i feel like it's extremely insignificant compared to the importance of sociology& creating a better place where fascism cannot hurt anyone anymore & we break down the influence of prejudices and descrimination
WORST FEAR idk probably like dying and no-one knowing who i was u know
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, EH? HAVE YOU TRIED LISTENING TO RICK SPRINGFIELD OR JEFF BECK? i love them also but bruce is my main man!! i also like van morrison / paul simon / and the more recent nathaniel rateliff (who draws major influence from the animals i feel?)
DAVID BOWIE? love bowie.  not so much a ziggy stardust kinda fan i lean more towards hunky dory yknow :-)

this was... a very long time ago but i remember when this really good feature was integrated where,  upon hovering over the far right side of the forum/sight, you'd get an (almost) real-time update of how many players were in a map / which map / etc.  anyway i feel like now, despite there being so many new maps, that would be helpful more than ever.

i haven't romped around in game too much but everything is definitely a LOT more spread out thus advertising for roleplays or just general chatting is (as i can imagine) probably a lot harder to go about. if people could know the highest density of players it'd help with more frequent interaction, as this is a chat-based game, as well as help w/ advertising in a more traditionalist way for roleplay groups.  i can see how there might be some issues but honestly they're...... easy fixes.  when this existed custom maps and the density of players there were included so naturally the whole list went a bit off-page, but with the most player-used map listed on top and the number descending therefrom, it shouldn't be much of an issue.  of course i have no idea how this system was originally integrated just that it was super neat& very convenient.

hey! i'm hal &i haven't been around here for a very long time but i remember how much, i love making maps and honestly i'm not 100% sure how active this game& forum still remains but for those who still host roleplay groups and et all i'm more than willing 2 provide my Great Map Making Services to you.  this thread isn't going to be very fancy-looking but it's enough imho

please understand also despite my lack of Proper Formatting or grammar, really, bcus who cares honestly....... that i take my maps pretty seriously& i hope that what is done with them will resemble the amount of work i put into them :-)



EXAMPLES OF MY WORK
here are screenshots of a map i made for my old GNG-inspired rp group:
http://oldboys.boards.net/thread/12/work-progress-screenshots

HERE is a download to that aforementioned map, which is now abandoned ; if you'd like to us it for whatever reason please ASK ME, & definitely don't just. drag ur rp group into it like eyh look at our new map.  it is very big and very laggy and does not resemble my current understanding of map structure& lag reduction. this map has in no way been maintenanced and there may be some faults as a result.
http://oldboys.boards.net/thread/19/full-map-download-finished


PRESENTLY the maps i make will be large in scale but split into several segments ; i.e , when you ask me for a map, you will get a map pack (unless specified otherwise).  this reduces lag on computers and allows for more varying and detailed, thus more immersive, object placement. 

if you would like a map from me please comment below & i will DM you if i'm interested in what you have to say! here's a little application actually to kind of go w/ it; tho application isn't exactly the right word it's more or less what you're looking for

• what kind of map are you looking for? (a forest-y, desert-y, etc)
• what should the size of such a map be?
• are you okay with the map being split into parts ( a map pack ) or MUST it be one large map?
• what purposes will this map be used for?
• if for roleplay, can you describe in-depth the roleplay's plot / present members / what you're planning to do with it if you have not started it & etc?
• would you be willing to help with height map + mask construction? with linking me to particular meshes you think would be ideal for this map?
• anything extra you'd add outside of this list!
