As per Slee's flash of brilliance:
Could we please have the mess of crystals and rocks that take up a doorway when a room is under construction as a mural option? They're so pretty. And hey, no new art assets, always a plus!

There is no end to the amount of glee it would bring me, that's for sure! Even if I can only speak for myself.
I do encounter alot of situations where I have spare passage 'entrances' on lair rooms, but nothing to put there- And I don't want to use murals because I don't want to double up murals / There isn't a mural that would fit the room in my mind / etc.
The crystal-y rock holes hold alot of appeal for me in this respect because they are fairly natural looking formations, rather pretty and more aesthetically 'neutral' than the other murals in the sense that they don't look intentionally built. It would be easy enough to check which are 'mural' ones and which actually lead to un-built rooms by just clicking them to see the name in the target-box too.
I'll stop babbling now. In short: DO WANT.
Cannot promise, but I can take a peek at it. Will not be able to use the exact model (do not want players getting confused about non-construction sites) but I can make a model reminiscent of it and just as crystally.
Frosthide you are the bestest. Thank you for considering this!
Quoted for TRUTH. This makes me happy indeed! :DQuote:

Also, Frosthide, I love your signature. >w>
Even better! :D Yay for working on things that might happen!Quote:

Lair murals are very finicky about how much space you have to work with (essentially the square on a rock face murals are the maximum dimensions for a mural) - will not be able to make a 'walk into' type space.
While I'm here, what say the lot of you to this being a geode? The style would be either a dragon dug into a really big one in the wall, or they set one (Cut in half of course) in the space on display.
We can't have both? :P
I like the first one over the second one personally. :)
Just for reference, THIS is the thing I needed three sets of quotation marks to describe:

Wow, I'd never guessed murals insisted on being that flat. (I'd also never realized the things were as deep as they are. Lots of space to crawl a hatchling in, geez!) Alright, if we can't have this exact same thing, I'd love to have both geode-themed semi-murals. ;) If we're only choosing one I'd be more interested in a natural, "accidental" geode than one set deliberately on display-- both sound good, but we have a lot of polished artwork murals already. I'd love to get my claws on something that's less obviously the product of artistry and a little more natural-looking.
Thank you again for your consideration!
It's not necessarily the murals that demand this, but the walls. Before the 'flat' type murals were put in, I couldn't put any murals on certain outside walls of my lair because they were 'outside the boundaries of the plot'.Quote:

Teehee - just add unbuilt rooms! and never build them! =D
No seriously, when I read the initial suggestion I was thinking possibly as Slee was - what great torture you could provide for someone as they ran around a lair filled with many of these "murals" playing the game of "Find the actual buildable chamber!" :)
