You do realize what Kura created isn't finished, right? Looking at his previous work its pretty obvious that the end result would be game-worthy.

Yes, and in over a week I have seen less promise there than I have here in a single day. Harsh, perhaps, but its my opinion as an artist.

I never said people should freely redo each other's work; because it'd be ridiculous, tedious, and we'd never get anywhere. I merely said that, because there does exist an alternative, regardless of whether or not it should exist, it should be taken into consideration due to its quality; because I feel that's what is more important.

Its unfortunate that it conflicts with something another person made, but its an isolated incident and ultimately should be shelved, not dismissed, depending on how the other sculpt delivers.

CORR, I was working close with Tyveras on the Azura sculpts, doing repaints of his models and giving him detailed feedback, he said he'll do anything to make it right. Making another model without first talking about it with other devs just wasted at least 4 hours of my precious time. I agree Kura's quality is high in that sculpt, but he shouldn't have been making it behind people's backs. Also it's not like he didn't know. Ravanna told him at least two times to NOT model Azura, and what he made looks exactly like Jors' concept of her. Tyveras perhaps didn't have much luck with that model yet, but he's a valuable asset to the team and we can't afford to "hurt his feelings" too much, especially since he was unfortunately also caught in the middle of Dagoth props earlier. Even if we were to go with Kura's sculpt this could've been handled WAY more smoothly, and that is the main issue here. This project is not about the statue of azura, but a bout a whole game, and it will never see the light of day without transparency and cooperation.

Well guess what, we've already considered using Kura's work, as it would be a shame to have it wasted.  What we need is less opinion and more productivity, because with all those people nitpicking on every detail the project is slowly derailing and losing pace, and having people fighting over model assignments is just ridiculous. 

почему бы просто не дать Tyveras несколько советов, если вы думаете, что знаете, как вы можете помочь ему, Курасаки?

(why not just give Tyveras few tips if you think you know how you can help him, Kurasaki?)

Is this going in St. Olms Canton? I hope so! <(^v^)>

wow this is very nice :)

this statue looks amazing, your talent Kurasaki keeps getting more epic with every model you do

amazing work, you are getting better and better :)

Jezus christ kura you talented Russian Ukrainian SOB!!

looks uuuuuuwsome

Well as American Ukrainian descendant I thank you. 

I wish I could make stuff like that.
Its insane high quality work.
Very impressive.
 

Kura! Can u save this current ZTL file for later use?
we could always turn the clothing and staff into useable items :)

Absolutely beautiful. Can't wait to see them in-game.

I'm in awe of all the work on this thread.  So much quality stuff! I do have a fairly general suggestion that echos a previous comments:

Model quality is good.
This concept of sofa  looks like strange unique exemplar - 1 combination. That's not super good for game - will be look weird when many instances of this sofa looks identical, even if 95% of humans have no good memory.

I only can recommend to split model to "lamps" and "bench". With or without other models will be more combinations.

 

It may be asking much, but due to the organic nature of all the furniture and architectural assets, it would be good if these are made modular so that additional pieces can be rotated, added, or removed to embellish and add variety to commonly used models such as chairs tables lights.  That way the Telvanni areas can have very unique assets with a lot of character without individual pieces being overly identifiable.  A basic set for customizing interior assets would be very useful.  Doing this on an individual basis or creating a basic kit of branches, weird lights, roots etc for occasional use in smaller details like an additional funky armrest  could make a big difference to keeping things organic looking.
