i think more architecture should feature giant faces

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

it's cool that I've got a bookshelf behind me in video calls but just think of how much better of a lead i'd be if i had a wall of bronze faces frozen in anguish (with a visible gap for one more) in the background instead

[pupxel@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@aeva you need to be careful tho, what looks like anguish to you may be sexual to others

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

i've got one face screaming in anguish behind me on calls but it's made out of plastic and i don't think anybody's noticed yet

[joshuaelliott@mastodon.social]

@aeva I'm not saying you absolutely need one to be subtly animatronic, or realtime tracked VFX to really mess with people.

But I'm not not saying that.

@aeva I believe the classic for faces screaming in anguish is for them to be made of stone

@aeva Moai have entered the chat

@aeva I think, and this is very important, the faces should always look like they are trying to escape. Like they are trying to get out of the plastic or bronze or stone or whatever it is.

@aeva You stretch them out a little bit, and you can still keep books in them.

@rygorous i was thinking more art deco but i'm down for that too

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@rygorous ceramic would be an easier diy project

[jens@social.finkhaeuser.de]

@aeva for inspiration, see Doom screen and Altars of Madness cover.

[rygorous@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@aeva not really a gorgon then. ceramic gorgon. corgi? not the same vibe at all

[rygorous@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@aeva artist in the material editor, toggling between stone and skin shaders "haha. gorg-on... gorg-off. gorg-on..."

[rygorous@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@aeva *gets a brainwave* "wait, let me take this marble shader..."
*tweaks base color to be white-yellow-ish*
*adds blue-green-ish vein color*
"there you go. gorg-on-zola"
