July Challenge: Hebbie's Ale House

[Redrobes]

Wow - excellent - utterly Fick !

Hmm what to go for ? Well, Delling is a name of people. The map will be "The four ????" so Pinus has some slight pronunciation problem.

Hanifers sounds like it could be a kind of conifer...

The Lakota words sounds like an excellent resource with a little legitimacy to it. So it would need a 'Can' in it.

So how about a mighty "Haskwood Canifer" - a species of tall evergreen, and try and please several at once. Sorry if your bit of word wasn't in that.

So I need to start a new thread "The four Haskwood Canifers" and pitch into this months challenge and create a new Thrubland Inn somewhere to boot. Its a kind of upmarket inn. Its not really suitable for Fentor but would probably be found in the capitol of Thrub itself unless you think that you can accommodate an upmarket building in Snap.

Edit -- The story is good. I can understand your connection to it and the feelings about collonialism. I tell you its about to happen again over here unless they start making a softer line over the current tax situation...

Excellent name. I didn't realize their was an ancestor on the link above until after I posted it, actually two, old Mudgett is related also. All Blodgetts in the US are descended from 1 immigrant, it is believed, with a half dozen variations on the spelling. Some of them where quite "anti-everything", and even tried to secede from the US and Canada at the same time,,,,Named themselves the Indian Stream Republic.
And I think I just found the name for Snapgallows nite soil expert,,,,,Mudgett.

Just figured out what the pronunciation problem was
"The map will be "The four ????" so Pinus has some slight pronunciation problem."


I got a bit of a earpull from Bumblemouse when Lena mispronounced "Ficked" but it was to late to change the word as "Fick" is an important character in the tells...I can imagine what would happen if she tried saying "the four......


Tomorrow some more wips of the Ale house will go up, I have them now, but it is like 90 degrees here and late, so I am going to walk around in the lawn sprinklers, which just kicked on outside, if the FHCO's can do it and have a Fick time, so can I.

Now I see why kids love lawn sprinklers, no better way to cool of.
Anywho, I meant to post the wips earlier, but as late in the middle of the night an idea for a bit of Lemur's Tell popped into my head and woke me up, I sat up til dawn typing....Thanks to Redrobes and his "Four Haskwood Canifers", a bit of her tell which was just "someplace else" now has a home, and alot more detail,,,,but thats another thread.
The second floor is pretty much done, my job is putting in the windows, since the ruby script for that can be kinda tichy, as the wip shows.
The missing wall section will be replaced, the script fuddled the faces enough that it would not render right so I chunked it out,,,
So this wip is a bit of a teaser, you can't see inside the rooms as the "Guild of Rather Short , but Industrious, Artifact and Article Relocation Specialists" is still busy moving furniture about.
After seeing Redrobes railings we hunted down a script to build our own, and painted it green, we couldn't find racing green, to say "ours is greenier than yours".
They have sorted out what is hopefully the final texturing/color scheme for the final image when it is done, but my comp can't handle the whole model fully textured, it becomes very slow and very hot in this weather , so I will be posting shaded wips until I can render on theirs.
So here is a teaser, done in conte and crayon, rendered in sketchup.

As work on the cellar will begin soon I thought I would get ahead of the game. or atleast the FHCO's and make some tokens of what may be found in Hebbies cellar, or Dim Cellar as it is called in Snap.
Of course something simple never is, as Hebbie is pretty particular about the Tatershine he serves, he distills and flavors it himself. The Ales he passes across the topboard are also his own, brewed in the chill of the cellar, so this is where simple left, as quick as Kier.
We decided shine'n up Pochard and other distinct flavors of tatershine is a rather volatile process, and produces a great deal of heat ( which Cagil the Artificer has managed to use to heat Hebbies floors during the colder months,,,radiant heating in West Fentor, who'd a thought, but anyway), so shinen and brewing is done in one area, and storage in another, and traffic to the Winter Kitchen skirts the last,,,,so that is the basic plan, but as Hebbies is an intergal part of the whole Snapgallows map (which is waddling along as well), access to the Dimways (tunnels) beneath Snapgallows is needed to, hidden access,,, so that is what this token is. A rack of barrels of Ale and Shine, leading to the dimways. 2 versions, vanilla sketchup and FHCO

Well the cellar is coming along nicely, though I discovered that with the placement of the entrance in the common room, under the stairs, the entrance is not visible, so we will fudge it over a bit, should be easy, its a component.
While that is in work I fiddled with some more tokens for the FHCO's to use, a few tables, plates, silver ware, hebbies brewing table, stone benches, chest and the sweetwater well for the Winter Kitchen, which is on the same level as the cellar. Hebbie uses sweetwater to flavor some shine,,,It is also a hidden entrance to the dimways, in addition to the narrow slip hole hidden in the one barrel that extends past the backside of the barrel rack poster above, which is Lemur's entrance....
So to go along with the sweetwater well and the spiral stairs hidden behind it I made lids, one for the well and one for the entrance.
None of these are to scale, its just my reference sheet so I now what I need to do for the FHCO's, the real renders are huge so I can scale down to match our final maps scale. Two of the items, the spiral stairs and the bed stead, are modified google warehouse finds, modified according to the limits listed.

Here is the Winter Kitchen, which is on the same level and connected to the cellar, its at 100 pixels per foot, approximately, and in what I hope is the last change to the "look" of Hebbie's as far as color scheme/style goes.
I would be posting the whole cellar but I forgot to unhide the stairs and some other things before rendering, so I will have to do those again.
So, barring any more changes, I should be able to match the textures/style for the other floors and render those as well,,,,,dang, once I add the patio thingy.
Hebbie's goodwife cooks on the latest quad burner tile kiva, fueled with dried quarrier goat dung, for flavor, and alcohol soaked chalk briquettes for that searing heat.
Exhaust is safely vented through a finely crafted chimney which extends through the Summer Kitchen at the next level, and finally Hebbies BluestoneLibrary at the top of the small tower.
As Hebbie truly loves his goodwife, and Lemur the color blue, her kitchen is floored in Bluestone limestone, Yelped with the Silent Voice for infinite longevity and shine.....
