Murkwood Development

[Ibsen's Ghost]

I am very close to getting my final plans for the asset replacement that will make the mangrove region a reality. The mangroves themselves will have to be added by hand in clumps which makes the landscaping a little harder but should produce a much better effect.

After this, whenever I do any work on regions then it will probably be on Murkwood. I'm going to skip the Talu swamps for now as Koniption is still working on the mossy trees and this will probably be a big task. In the meantime, I wanted to post up some concept ideas for Murkwood.

The first pics include suggestions on possible flora for the region. It needs to be fairly unattractive stuff so I went for weeds...well, you can guess what came up on Google by those search criteria but here are some ideas I'd like to check with you all. We can probably use stuff like nirnworms and more 'offensive' flora types too.

The last three pics are from my first trial run of Murkwood using Razorwing's 'Forgotten Forest' trees along with a mix of cypress trees and dead trees. I added a single rock to get the rough idea too. The only problem so far is finding grass types that don't conflict with the very dark textures and in trying to make it look super-dark even in full daylight...now that's the really tough part!
