    Post Buddhist Temple

    Since I created a Shinto Torii gate, its only fair that I post a Buddhist Temple - though I plan to make a couple more, including a five tier pagoda temple. This is a typical large Buddhist Temple.

    Post One last thought for tonight...

    One last thought before I go to bed. I was thinking about Nomadic's request for smaller scale objects/illustrations. I wondered what would be the use of people if teeny tiny on a map for purpose and not for decoration.

    Havn't done anything on this yet, but just a thought. I could create several people-type objects "moving" in the cardinal directions and the four in between, so eight versions of each people object set.

    As a way to differentiate a walking path, to a farm road, to a highway. Rather than working by line color, dashes or width, I'll make all roadways the same, but place "people" objects to differentiate them...

    1. A group of five walking for walking paths.

    2. A farmer or merchant wagon with horses and driver for rural roads.

    3. A small band of samurai on horseback for highways and major roads.

    I'll get as detailed as possible, but these will be tiny objects.

    Cool idea, I thought!

    I'm honestly not sure how much a symbol set would be. If you look over at the Four Ugly Monsters and the sets they sell that might give you some idea. I know that Devin Knight does custom tokens for $4 each as well.

    I'm sure that Simon would be willing to negotiate with you on the price. Just remember that the British Pound is currently worth about $1.50 US so that should give you some advantage in price since $15 for you is only $10 for them.

    EDIT: 1 British pound = 1.4579 U.S. dollars

    Based on a cost of 21.95 pounds for a subscription, an individual issue costs the subscriber 1.83 pounds (US$2.66 currently). You could try to negotiate for a percentage of that amount, multiplied by the current subscriber base.

    *In very bad Dr. Evil imitation* One....Million....Dollars! *evil laugh*

    Seriously though, I don't have the foggiest - what does Profantasy charge for their symbol sets? Maybe use that somehow as a basis to work from.

    I'm wondering if they use in-house artists who get paid a salary or if they buy something from someone then add an upcharge and what that upcharge percentage rate is. I do custom work for Home Expo (custom high-end division of Home Depot) and they add a 33% upcharge to my price. But this is more of a one-off thing since I can't sell stained glass windows like this. Since they'll be licensing images they'll make their profits back in mass-market selling so I'd say go high and haggle down as needed.

    Wip Thanks guys - now onwards with objects!

    I sent my reply Email with my proposed price to Profantasy, we'll see what kind of negotiation this gets to - thanks for the info, guys!

    On an aside, I also contacted the site, I found most of my shiro castle photos I'm using to create these objects and asked about availability of real maps to work from - he replied he has few and will send them to me, so I can do the castle map and ground plans with more accurate authority...

    Now back from that temporary threadjack, onwards with some more objects.

    Below is my third and possibly final castle object. Another small shiro for a local daimyo, this is a mountain top castle, the oldest type, though the added gables which give it more strength, was added later, than initial construction.

    Hikone Castle... enjoy!

    PS: still working on more Buddhist temples - boy with all the curves, Pagoda temples are giving me problems, but I have to include one... that's next on my agenda...

    Wip Pagoda and walkers

    I finally got the Pagoda to work out like I wanted. I even prettied it up with a pond and some trees. This came out quite nice. Since the trees are an after thought, I'll include these trees as part of my tree objects portion of the collection (killing two birds with one stone...)

    Also (lineart only for tonight) I've created the first of my "Walking Path" symbol, I realized I only needed four sets for each type. This one will be for "NE to SW" walking paths. I'm liking how the paths idea is working out! Thanks, Nomadic, for making me think of it!

    Enjoy!

    The pagoda is beautiful GP! Nice touch with the reflection in the pool.

    I absolutely agree! This is just beautiful. I hope you have the separate objects from that scene and a pond without the reflection.
