Well this is becoming a more current matter, now with the tree being almost complete. Vote in the poll I have provided and please explain your vote.

The poll will finish in 20 days, if we come to a conclusion before that then I will lock the thread.

It's not as much of a practical material, but the Green Marble I showed previously really cuaght the essence of the wood elven feeling. I liked the smooth green colors and thought they would fit in well, regardless of Bosmer not being good with stone, I think they would do there best for Falinesti. I hope that green marble wins just becuse it's so beautiful and makes such a worthy scene. I can't see the Bosmer walking all over there values by being as bold as to build wooden stuctures on their sacred Falinesti, but as I have stated before, I would know more about LotR lore then that of TES. I love both, but LotR riegns supreme to me.

As much as I love Grey Wizard's marble texture Id prefer Falinesti to be organic. I see no harm in having a few marble sections perhaps for the rich or noble but Id think we would see more marble in settlements nearer to the Elsweyr border. Infusing the Bosmer with their wood to me seems only right in the capital.

Just to clear things up, I voted for 'Other' so I could see how the poll is going.

I agree, marble should be more common by the border, but I feel that Falinesti should be the only exseption. I would like to see Falinesti as a beauty to behold that rivals that of the Imperial City. I could see Falinesti with some organic buildings forming out of the tree in places, but the Marble building on a block street(branch) would look so amazing ingame.

old palace of the Cameroan Dynasty might be a good place for marble.. if so the only place in Falinesti (if included it should(or if we count it as stil exsisting..) be a unique, more unique..and that would look quite good(with marble and Organic palace..)..)

@ FLESH better to click the Result Bottom... even if bothersome to do that over and over..

I voted for organic, but than I had an idea. Dead wood might look good if used accordingly. I drew a really quick concept to show what I mean... it's basically a big hollow ball of intertwined dead branches.

Wada you peeps think?

I like the concept art, but has no body seen mine? It shows how relativly small these buildings would be while on Falinesti. An ant can't pick up a shoe, but we wear it with relitive ease. Take a look at my post in the Falinesti Thread.

Ok, Iv'e got some Falinesti concepts here. Green Marble Imperial Forts?

And some concept art with hopfully the same green texture style, maybe better though as improvment is always better:

I'm sorry if my idea is not the popular one, but I want it so bad because of the beauty I am imaging Falinesti to hold. Understand me?

I just can't imagine the marble buildings fitting in, but that's just me. I dunno

Why was I not informed when I said this. Organic seems like the way to go for one of Valenwoods main architecture styles.

@Psychotic, It looks a bit like those pod houses Walrus drew for Southpoint. I agree though that dead branches could be used for many things.

@ Grey Wizard, I understand you. I am thinking the contest is between marble and organic, so why don't we use a mix? Marble for the old palace (where did those kings live?) on Falinesti, if there is one, that would look pretty damn amazing.

We could use marble, but also only for the Upper Class people, no one else.

And Raggids New: Hmm, well the only thing I could think of for insects extruding is Silk. But it would be nice if they made houses. Hmm, what about this, these 'insects' are the only ones capable of laying the seed that can be coaxed into different shapes by the Bosmer.

So can we all decide on a mix or Organic and marble (for the higher ups) and some 'other' here and there. Organic still being the main one though, so if no one has any objections I will start a thread on ESF, and PM Geonox, it's good to have more than one person drawing it all :)


Also this is final, I think it's best to have the architecture in tile-set form. Please state your opinions on that.
