Yeah, I'm that slow in regards of level up, but what I don't have in levels, I do have in amount of characters...
I always recognize it because autumn is my fav time of year. And the tundra works very well with the vibe of a wet autumn. Soaked earth under the boots, every now and then listening to a "crec" of dry leaves
But yes, it is such a wide world this season, as you said, light and shadow, color and darkness. The souls of the ancestors and the festivities... oh Lord, it's summer here, I want time to pass.
No need for any DNA test though - I HATE needles - because you mentioning Sopor Aeternus was the first for me. I didn't know about them at all, and I ususally keep a good track on music I like. I've given them a few listenings, and so far I like what I hear, so thank you for the tip. Being a Swede, I'm a bit spoiled with great metal bands from Scandinavia, so it's sometimes hard to remember music is more worldwide than my small northern realm..
Lucky for you, autumn will follow your summer, while as I'm still in winter with spring coming next. Far away from any days of Fall in my case...
And I totally understand about music. I always end up looking for things alike with what I listen to, a lot of metal comes to me, but Spotify has recommended great things to me weekly.
Oh yes, fall is coming... but first we need to win this infernal summer. I feel like Frodo Baggins in his way to Mount Doom HAHAHA
It's perhaps for a reason too, because I've always felt gloom, doom, dreadfulness, misery, loneliness, sorrow and darkness to hold an amount of beauty. Often sad, yes of course, but still with an emotional value that I admire and feel connected to.
For myself, I see, in the 2 Whiterun pics, Chicago where I grew up. Pretty leaves washed off the trees by a cold rain.
This is why you are the artist, and I live somewhere else.
I love this texture of the deathbells by fadingsignal. It comes with a red version too which I'm using here, although the LUT makes it appear almost pinkish, as if it's about to wither before the winter comes. Very appropriate, considering I'm playing with a setup meant to be influenced by autumn. I have four setups, one for each season in the game and I change according to the in-game calendar.
The deathbells are so photogenic, it's near impossible not to snap an image or two once you see them in-game. I agree with the forts and castles too. It's from an historical era that I very much enjoy myself and for western fantasy fiction, they're a part of the world just as much as dragons and magic. I write a lot and I use this fantasy realm I've been "building" ever since I was a young lad, and describing the areas - and reasons - for old castles and citadels are just as fun today as it was when the world creation started...
Beautiful shots of the plains, Rick
Many thanks, Dylan!
