I like how the sets build upwards. After all, on a floating rock, you can’t build sideways!

Plus building into the rock was already done by Miyazaki in Laputa: Castle in the Sky.

Actually you can, if you vote from two (or more, hint hint!) IP addresses. Like School and Home, or Work and Home.

i agree!! i was thinking it’d be nice if Scott could sell the sets for us to play w/ afterwards or something… but making it a game instead is definitely a better idea + more accessible

Well where they are existing is actually much like the underworld, so having Anubis seems perfect to me.

Scott, love the sets! Can’t wait to see the story unfold on them.

As for voting, fellow Dreamers, please don’t forget. We’re currently in #4, but #3 is very attainable. Here’s the link: http://topwebcomics.com/vote/4274/default.aspx

Considering that it has a Greek-sounding name, I think it’s possible that elements from other cultures leaked in over time.

Those sets are pretty cool. I like the wooden structures built over the stone. The stonework is like the rarely-changing foundation of the city, while each generation builds its own houses out of wood as needed every few years. My only question is where the got the wood from. There didn’t appear to be that many trees on Seraphopolis, and I thought they’d keep themselves too isolated for trading.

I understand this is fantasy and you’re allowed artistic license, BUT you are drawing from and trying to represent a real culture. Those buildings are no where near Egyptian Architecture. It looks much more like the Minoans of Crete. It also seems extremely odd that they would have the head of Anubis outside any building that wasn’t a tomb or funerary Temple. Since he was a God of the Underworld and the Embalmer of the Dead. And currently those heads are looking far more like Bulls heads. Which again harkens back to the Minoans. Unless you go with the Goddess Hathor. I’m also a little surprised that you haven’t gone with Horus (the Falcon Headed God), Nut the Sky Goddess, or Isis who was often depicted with wings and was called the Queen of Heaven. Thoth would also be a good one to include. The Ibis headed God of Wisdom.
I understand you’re on a deadline, but it’s all something to keep in mind.

It’s partly because the voting button Scott has is not obvious. Scott – fix the button so it says VOTE HERE and make it bigger!
