hello everyone !
Right now there is no consistant nor real discussion about how the piemont of the westerland going into the reach and how the transition between those two very different region could look, and it's curently looking quite abrupt.
In regard to this, I propose the creation and creative research about a Westerland/Reach piemont sub-style.
This region could be extraordinaly interesting to work with, and to have it to look really original and interesting, but it's right now not develloped as much as stylistics research can be in the south for exemple with starpike and Darkdell.
it is also really difficult to do something there, as to not make it look like the southern reach red mountains border, which devellop really nicely and thoughly another piemont style.
Right now, especially in the northern reach where the palette is grey, it's very difficult to go from a grey northern reach style to a yellow westerland, and this difficulty (in coherence as in look) has not been adressed I think. it raise a lot of questions :
how should we manage a palette transition ? should there be one ? one from grey to reach to yellow ? what about the style, and what about the history of the relations between the Reach and the Westerlands ? and how should the climate transition and so the terra and landscaping look ?
thoses are a lot of questions which I think could benefit from being though as a community, not only for solo project leader, and maybe this thread could help centralize discussions about the borders.
-A starting proposition :
in regard to this, I propose this : ( this is really just a first try, and has been done really quicly, it's just a base to work with and maybe help anyone doing bordering projects)
this could be a band of yellowy pink reach palette, with a particular style.
Furthermore, the westerland are right now northern Italy, and Reach, France.
Considering this, I think a really interesting real region to look for inspiration could be the Bourgogne-Franche-Compté region, which is itself a transition between a more Loire France and the Alpine italy, exactly the kind of transition there is right now between the westerland and the Reach. this architecture seem to fit the style of the northern reach megabuild quite well too.
here are some example of castles ( houses should be thought too, i'll make another post for them), moreover, I think the Dordogne Valley could be a great inspiration to.
those two place also have a distinct yellowy stone, which could make for a good palette transition between the problematic grey/yellow transition.
one Dordogne valley exemple :
I also tend to think that anyone doing a border project should think a lot about a proper transition with it's neighbour next region project, and that two neighbour project leader in border regions should keep close ties and talk a lot. I also think that a border project should not look like a core region style of it's region, but something more unique or blended.
thanks for reading, I hope this will start a fertile discussion and be a good start/continuity to the creative research around this region
(Merry Christmas everyone !)
