WookieFodder Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 The Striking Dioramas look great. I'm afraid my hands are too clumsy to attempt the stickers. My suggestions are a forest, view of city/buildings at night time,alternate views of space (kinda like a view from the Deathstar or thatlast shot from Empire Strikes Back) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 Instead of releasing a large second series of dioramas all at once, I decided to release them as they are finished. First up is two new dioramas - the Prison Cell Diorama and the Prison Battle Diorama. I am sure you can guess what these were inspired by! They are now available, and are on sale for only $13 as part of our 4th Anniversary Sale: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lingster Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 We need more dios appropriate for the Zombie world... The door in the second one seems to float in the air. perhaps it's too bright being inside the cell? Or there is no shadow.... or both!

luke314pi Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 I am making one today for some pictures, so I will see how it looks and make some adjustments if need be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lingster Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 If the door is supposed to be leaning against the back wall, then it should follow the shadow of the light on the wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPL Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Those walls are nasty! How about a coat of paint and bead board trim to brighten the place up? Can you add a bow window with some colorful drapes? Nothing too fancy. I don't want it to scream "White Collar Prison" but a ceiling fan would be nice. And where's the toilet and bidet? The space is for rehabilitation, too. A modest television wouldn't blow the budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luke314pi Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share Posted June 6, 2013 I printed it out, and I see what you mean. I went back to my photoshop file and worked on the shadow. The door is meant to be leaning against the back wall of the cell. How does this look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Luke, I think the issue you are seeing with the door, is the angle of the door. Right now, the door appears to be resting on the lower left corner (on the floor) and the upper right corner (on the wall). Neither the upper edge or the lower edge of the door appear to be resting entirely on a surface (wall or floor, respectively), which I think is what you were going for. To achieve the shadow effect, without changing the door, may I recommend a shadow along the floor, starting at the lower left corner of the door, where the door meets the floor, and running to the right "under" the leading edge of the door, fading and receding slightly by the time it reaches the right side. This, to me, would complete the look I outlined first. If you can, I would recommend adjusting the angle of the door. "Realistically" the door has two positions that would "look natural." One would be that the door is sitting fully on the floor, with only one corner resting on the wall; this would require you to skew the left side of the door up and slightly more to the left, with all the other lines of the door following. The other "natural state" would be for the door to have the top edge fully resting on the back wall. This would mean that all the horizontal lines of the door should be parallel to the floor/wall junction. The vertical lines would then taper slightly as they went toward the ceiling. I would sketch something in Paint if I weren't on my iPod. Maybe later today. Either way, this one still looks cool, just a little perspective confusion.

luke314pi Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 Based on some great feedback by Onyx, I updated the Prison Battle Diorama again: Thanks Onyx! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lingster Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Now that is perfect. All we need now is some "ruin" type walls. it can't all be cell block can it? (ok it can...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 You cater to us too well, Luke. It looks perfect now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) So, after a serious mishap, I finally have my Prison diorama set: Behind you! Welcome to the block Collision! Mood lighting I may have to purchase more displays. These are great, Luke! The only suggestion, and this may not be possible, would be to have backing on the stickers that has a starter spot for removal. With all the stickers it was a struggle to separate the sticker from the backing. And after my first failed attempt at applying the sticker, I realized it was better/easier to apply if I removed a small portion of the backing (pull up then cut with a scissor), aligned the sticker, sticked the part down missing the backing, and the applied the rest of the sticker by smoothing as I removed the backing.
