I had promised to show some KI-shots of Afelahn (in August… *cough*), so here you are.
The age still is in the works, it will need some more wiring to be safe enough for everyone to visit it.
First, I´d like to show you a sketch of the lobsterpede I did, when I had the opportunity to watch it again. This time it didn´t see me for a while, so I had time to sketch it.
This creature seems to be some kind of crustacean or insect – it is land-dwelling and breathes air. I estimate its length about 3 feet (roughly 1 meter). It seems to be harmless, albeit ugly, and living near the cave which leads to my home base, under a big rock.
I´m not very good in drawing, so this sketch isn´t 100% accurate. But I think, you can get a nice impression of the creature, and why I´m keeping my distance when I meet it
Next, I´ll show you some overview shots of my home base.
First, the link-in or as I call it, “Entry room”.
If you remember the shot I showed on this blog some months ago, you will recognize the changes. I installed a new lamp, with a simpler but more appealing design, added some carpets (to welcome my guests), and some signs and information.
The following shot shows “Lab I”, which also serves as a room for a small exhibit of my research and accomplishments.
This is the “Garage”, at the moment the biggest room of my home base. It has a huge door that leads to the outside of the age (not seen in this pic). As you see, it is also meant to provide space for big specimens to be researched – the tree is a species of pine tree from Yagee Mohts, brought to Afelahn with the help of a couple of Toosha. The lamp in the left corner is a design I did with a little help from Tom Woods. Did I mention that I enjoy designing lamps?
This is “Storage I”, a – storage room. You can see the door leading to it in the former picture (to the right of the lamp.) It is currently not used, most of my equipment ist stored in Asheten mansion still, until the age is ready.
This is Lab II, primary used for experiments with bigger plants.
At the moment, there is only one species here – the Dasharan desert plant I´ve mentioned some months ago. I´ve changed the soil since then, because the plant didn´t do well with the former variant. Now it is more desertlike, and the plant seems to enjoy it.
The last KI-shot I´d like to share with you is the huge door I mentioned before, with me standing besides it for size comparison.
It needed a lot of work to install this door, I tell ya…
Hope, you enjoyed the KI-shots – there will be some more incoming in the next days.
