Dorm Decorating Revisited - A Hint of Something to Come

The last tip of the month is dorm rooms! Every wizard has one.  Dorm rooms can be simple to grand scale,  where you cannot even tell its a dorm room. The image above is from decorating on a budget. That dorm room only cost 300 gold to create. I used all the free quests items and bought flooring and paper.

The next dorm room is one I created from last years dorm contest. The theme was create a shop, well I made a Chicken shop.  I have chickens for sell, the robot was painting eggs for anyone who wanting them, he was using a special flower scented dye. Music box gave shoppers that most needed music, plus it kept the chickens calm.  I had a broom hanging on the wall for clean up. A small candle was to check eggs to make sure if there where any chicks inside and well those mushrooms always tend to grow around the hay. Mushrooms don't always look so great but the chickens liked them.

I created this shop by using the 2 tatami floor mats, it was simple and easy to create. Hope you enjoyed Junes decorating tip month. If you ever have something that you need help with showing how to create it, please send a email too Paige@paigemoonshade.com and I might show it right here on Paige' Page. Below are links to all the tips I have given. Until next time, happy house decorating.

Darkmoor Cobwebs, Candles and Skulls.

I have had many players ask me how I'm creating my cobweb creations. Well it's actually very simple. For the candles and skulls I used the carved podium  floating technique, (just click on the word carved podium to see that blog post).  After I placed all the candles and skulls I wanted , I worked with the piano by using a tatami mat. It might take a bit of moving back and forth to make sure you have them looking like a chandelier.

Now for the spider in he webs. You will need a stone pedestal base and a tatami mat. Place the base on the mat. By clicking on the mat move base with mat into the desired area. Place any pet, I used spiders for this on top of the base. Now click on the mat and rotate it. Move it out of the way.

Now the fun starts your going to use a castle block wall.   Any castle block wall will work as long as it's a full size not a medium wall. Place the wall where you can see the spider legs hanging out the front. (image above).  Now all you have to do is place the cobweb on to the wall. Now simply remove the wall and there you go,  a spider in the web . Now you can place more webs or anything to give that real to life feel. Hope you enjoyed this housing segment. Until next time, happy house decorating.

The Art of Making Something Come to Life

When placing items on the ground,  they tend to look like they have been placed on top a wall. I have taught myself how to bring life to these items, simply by what I call layering. When you look in the real world everything has layers to them.  Look at your desk I bet there are layers, Paper, pencil and everything you need in life to work.

So lets take this leaning palm tree? Laying it on the ground makes it look like there's a palm tree sitting on top of a green colored floor, so let's put some life into it. Add some peat to make the item have the feeling of growing out of the ground, now add a green plant, there is another layer.

Now take some more peat and plants , lets even add a flower now, see how much more layers we're getting? Oh  by the way, I'm only using the two tatami floor mats to do all this. Add a few more peat and plants pets, maybe even a mount and you will have a completed living piece (as in first image).

 This also works in gardening. If you want more life to an area add a garden plant and once its elder second spring it. Kitchen / Mad Scientist areas all work the same, you wouldn't set a table down with nothing on top of it. You would need to add layers to give an area that lived in feeling.  Below are a few areas I have  given a few areas I have done using this technique. Hope you enjoyed this segment. Until next time, happy house decorating.

This also with spiral gates. You can turn your spiral gate into a piece of art that looks alive. I don't like the look of the spiral gates. I end up changing all spiral gates and my banks to fit the theme of the house I'm creating.  Iridian Willowgem made a great video for this.
