"Char's" Houses ^-^~

Hello, here are some houses I have made over my time in PMU! I hope you like them, some of them have errors due to restrictions in tiles or just errors in my mapping, haha.

And of course, you can most likely see my mapping style and skills better as time goes on!
It is kind of sad looking back at my oldest houses… ^^;

All of my houses have a sort of theme and story behind it. When I get the time I will add the descriptions~
I tried to make the chronologically accurate to the best of my memory…O-o

Also I have had more houses, but I deleted a few by accident without pictures ;~;

[spoiler1. Lost Woods:2v2pij0w]
This was the first house I made in PMU. Still finding the ropes of mapping (not learning them yet xD)
But after endless wandering in the woods, a player would stumble across this small remote town as a place of relaxation and peace.

[/details]

[spoiler2. Iridescent Ignite:2v2pij0w]
My main house for a while. Small community found within an active volcano.

[/details]

[spoiler3. inFinite Forest:2v2pij0w]
This is an area found deep within an infinite forest. It has a sense of calm and peace, but holds many secrets… O-O

[/details]

[spoiler4. Parteh Palooza:2v2pij0w]
WOOT! This is a party house I created a while back. It was just…ridiculous. Some said it actually hurt their eyes XD

[/details]

[spoiler5. Barnacle Beach:2v2pij0w]
This is just your run of the mill beach house. Looking out into the sunset…casually having a row boat on the side, for easy access, in case rabid seagulls attack ;D

[/details]

[spoiler6. Paradise Perch:2v2pij0w]
So, I was just messing around with new tiles. I liked the 3D feel I got from these tile =O

A cyndaquil is born!! in a tree… RUNN!!

[/details]

[spoiler7. Really Random:2v2pij0w]
I was just bored, so I made a random house (as you can guess from the name)
It was Christmas time, so I added a christmasy island~

[/details]

[spoiler8. Snowflake Slopes:2v2pij0w]


I created this house imagining a mountain village far above known civilization, living amongst the harsh climate! OwO And this was my main house for a loong time

[/details]

[spoiler9. Tepid Town:2v2pij0w]
I warm town, in the desert. Kinda just hanging out haha
I did not put much thought into this house O-o

[/details]

[spoiler10. Its the Snivy Savanna Store!:2v2pij0w]
Snivy is just manning his post at his quaint little store/restaurant. Been watching Lions? You must be hungry
Come on down to the mah restaurant, we have…cheeze, bagels, cookies, candeh, AND MUCH MORE! >:3

[/details]

[spoiler11. Wolfy"s Walrus:2v2pij0w]
This was definitely one of my favorite houses to create.
I was happy with the design, and the signs were fun to make! WOOT! Wolfy"s B"Day house~

A few cool things that were in it:
-You look upon the SS Rocket- (Wolfy"s Ship)
-Le Gasp- (Bed says that)
Funny menu (All cheeze items)

[/details]

[spoiler12.XChaos"s Xtravaganza:2v2pij0w]
This is the only pic I could find of XCHaos"s Birthday house, and this is unfinished… ;~;
If anyone has a finished one, please send it along my way, xD Thanks!
BUT it ended up being a dark themed house for XChaosX"s B"Day.
She is the Queen of Darkness after all, she deserves to have a dark themed house to live and party in ^-^

[/details]

[spoiler13. Pond Plaza:2v2pij0w]
This was also a fun place to create
Just a fun hangout place~ (btw this is not my main house, but that is the real name… MWAHAHA).

[/details]

[spoiler14. Inflammatory Inclination:2v2pij0w]
Another map deep within the recesses of an active volcano. These are random hermits living along the intricate paths in the volcano. To get from place to place, they had to cross the molten river of lava. Ooooh~

[/details]

[spoiler15. Gouda Gardens:2v2pij0w]
A house made out of colored cheeze? Okey Dokey.
I think I"ll leave it at that lulz

[/details]

[spoiler16. Desert Delight:2v2pij0w]
hehe, see what I did there? Like Dessert and Desert…chuckles to self about lame joke
Anyyyyways, so just a desert house, in the cliffs (if you cant tell, I love cliffs)…erm…Hai
I guess you could say, wise cynda on the mountain?

[/details]

[spoiler17. Precipitation Precipice:2v2pij0w]
ITS SKYPIA! wait…nu D:
So REALLY far above normal civilization, there is a city within the clouds. It is highly advanced, and functions entirely through the use of Wind Power! =O
gives round of applause
Oh if only…

[/details]

[spoiler18. Ferocious Falls:2v2pij0w]
Soooo, I was just being REALLY lazy, and did not feel like demolishing my house, so that house I made a few months back, is just remodeled to fit the season…
plus, I kinda liked mah house. P:

[/details]

[spoiler19. Mew"s Matine:2v2pij0w]
Another B"Day house!
Sadly, I was uber busy that week, so I made this in a total of 15-30 min o-o;
Usually I try to put more thought into B"Day houses and incorporate their personality and shtuff, but it did not work out.
Erm, well there you have it. Mewcc"s Bday House!

[/details]

[spoiler20. Luli"s Lively Luncheon:2v2pij0w]
This was for Luli"s 16th Birthday Party!
The signs were silly as usual, some poked fun at Luli.
Such as: Luluville, Pink Plains, Lulitaco, Lulipad ^-^
Her Birthday was June 1st~

[/details]

[spoiler21. Remorse Ruins:2v2pij0w]
A civilization long forgotten, with UNDISCOVERED ruins lying in wait of exposure…
This is my practice house for the PMU mapping contest.
It did not come out as I hoped ;~; I tried to make it overgrown, but it became cluttered instead.
(plus I did not spend too much time on it haha)
Well, at least it was practice.

[/details]

[spoiler22. Ancient Alps:2v2pij0w]
Ruins abandoned long ago… (again)
Still UNDISCOVERED to today"s civilization lying in wait to be uncovered by one brave explorer…!
Yes, this is my “official” submission for the PMU mapping contest (well since Haya walked in to judge while I was checking over it xD).
Here"s hoping for the best! ^-^~

[/details]

[spoiler23. Heuristic Habitat:2v2pij0w]Soooo, after the mapping contest I got a 50x50 expansion of my house! And here is the product of my first attempt at a 50x50 house (I am going to pretend like my first one didn"t happen…Winter Contest… X_X )

The theme of this house is… HAWAII! I was thinking of a volcano at the summit of the mountain;with a walk down to the beach. Hawaii is a very green place, so I kept the grass tiles/trees/flowers. I also added some ruins since it does have a rich culture before it got commercialized.

[/details]

[spoiler24. Autumn Ache:2v2pij0w]
This was a veryyyyyy quick house a mapped for my mapping guide. It is basically a run of the mill autumn house. Nothing quite special about it, lol.

[/details]

[spoiler25. Winter Wisp:2v2pij0w] This was another map I created for my mapping guide to show perception height. Anyways, basically there is a civilization living in the clouds, and around this time ever year, they decorate all of their “Christmas” Trees with little ornaments. So this is just a little path between their villages.
And below them is a very large river and a huge forest with tall “Christmas” trees, but because they are so high up, it all looks very small. (not much of a story, rather than an explanation)

[/details]

[spoiler26. Psychedelic Psyche:2v2pij0w]
Definitely not my best work, but I just felt like fiddling with these new tiles. I was not as active when these tiles were introduced into the game. Plus my Charticuno character"s house was empty! ;~;

Anyways, yeah… its pretty boring…
I NEED SOME CLIFFS!! xD

Basically the story behind this house is a society of extraterrestrial Pokemon living in the caverns deep beneath the surface of the world.
A few swamp like plants live down here, but that is about it. The Pokemon venture out into the open once in a while to try and harvest wood.

[/details]

[spoiler27. Felton Derps:2v2pij0w]
Surprise Surprise!!
You probably were not expecting me to be one of the infamous Feltons, but its true, I couldn"t resist his silly antics.~
And Pikachu"s ideas were just toooo much for me to not take part.

So here we have Felton Derps" very own home. Because of that big paycheck he receives from Nintendo, he has a chance to live in a home such as this one.

Only Derps would be able to afford those antique rocks, those well aged grass/trees (at the brink of death), a bountiful garden (though it may be growing crazy and not even planted ), a quaint stream (thats clogged with algae and doesn"t move), and much much more!

And atop his extravagant terrace, he seems to be singing his song “Copyright Infringement”. He sure has that Holiday Spirit!

Anyways, yeah, I know I shouldn"t “feed” this troll, but the situation was just too funny. He was trolling himself with the things he was writing.~

Anyways, I hope you “like” my quickly mapped house. I dislike its image a lot. It is supposed to feel crowded, cramped and unappealing.

Lets just hope his boss, Herman Herps, doesn"t come by and fire him. P:

If you have no clue what I am talking about, here is the link to the thread: Felton Derps

[spoiler28. Dawn of the Day:2v2pij0w]


Hello! Here is my second official 50x50 map that I have created. It is presently in my house, Char, and is under slight construction.
Once again, I am plagued with thoughts of imperfection of my mapping. I really do not like the design of this one. I feel like it doesn"t flow well.

Basically the idea I was trying to create here, was the dawn of a day. The snow begins to melt away as the light hits it. So its a mixture of snow and grass tiles. I also used it as some practice of shadows, which I was in dire need of.
I would really love some feedback on what needs to be better on this one.~

[/details]

[spoiler29. Mystic Maze:2v2pij0w]


Nothing special really, just practicing doing normal dungeons. I also tried to add in one of those special chambers in the bottom right. ^-^~

[/details]

[spoiler30. Overgrown Ooutreach:2v2pij0w]
I really just wanted to try out those tiles! 8D
They were a lot of fun to mess around with, but I did not make a very unique map. I shall have to think about a better design next time.~
I do like the color combo, to make a marsh type feel to it!

[/details]

[spoiler31. Flourishing Fantasy:2v2pij0w]This was a commission by someone in PMU I made a week or two ago. I hope you like it.
They asked for a tropical jungle place with many flowers (Well that is what I took from it.)

I know its not my best work… hmm. I would have distributed the plant more evenly if I could go back and edit. As well as the ground error up top. ;~; ew rushed work

I tried to make the table the center of attention for the map. So it was not the map that was giving the attention, but the person you would be talking about.

You can ignore the flower spam in the bottom left hand corner, lol.

[/details]

[spoiler32. Deleterious Dark Dimensions:2v2pij0w] This was my first attempt at working with the newer dark tiles. Not really a fan of how this one turned out. Something seems missing. Hmm…BLARP!

[/details]

[spoiler33. The Cloud Cradle:2v2pij0w] This was another request by someone, for a cloud house. It ended up being a little plain, since I wanted to keep the natural consistency of a cloud this time, and did not want anything resting on it. So there were just things poking through the cloud.
Basically there were some tall mountains under it.

I was not totally done with it though.

[/details]

[spoiler34. Sannom"s Splendid Salmon:2v2pij0w]This was my 2nd failed attempt at creating a Birthday house for someone. :c
Sannom was pretty busy, so I called the party off. :P If you would like to see this house, it is at Sammon’s house! HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!

I also feel like it is missing something or other. HMM

[/details]

[spoiler35. Flare"s Fantastic Fiesta!:2v2pij0w] This was supposed to be Flare’s Birthday house! Sadly because of the server maintenance, we had to postpone it, and then it became too late to celebrate. xD There were signs here and there, we were also going to create a dialogue for Flare as well. If you want to check the house out, the name is Ankor. Also Riche created a cake for her as well, if you would like to see that as well, it is at the house Anchor.

[/details]

[spoiler36. Kokiri Forest:2v2pij0w]


This was my first house after becoming staff, and because I was doing a lot of busy things since then, it is still my house, months after the promotion, lol! But if you can"t guess by the name, its themed after The Legend of Zelda"s, Kokiri Forest. o

It was a bit difficult at first when I wanted to make it more of a replica, but then I decided to give up on that, and go ahead and make it look cool with whatever tiles I had, haha.

After looking at the larger image though, I could have done a lot more shaping, I think since then I have learned a lot more about mapping. ~

Also, there are signs here and there, a secret entrance, as well as a couple warps to random places.

Thank you to everyone who went about exploring the place!

[/details]

Please do comment! I love people’s feedback, even if it is critical, just trying to become better. OwO

Aww man, I forgot I cannot edit my first post haha
Well, I guess I shall add my descriptions in this post.

Also for Glimmer’s house, I could not find an image from when I edited it later on…so, its not a final pic there.

cool houses!

Bwahaha.
Dandy was here.
lol.

WOW great houses Char! Although, no offense, but keep exploring lots! xD New techniques are better then using the same all the time don’t you agree? Bwahaha keep up the good work~

I added Luli’s B’Day house and my contest practice/submissions to the list! =)
Plus descriptions and house titles~
I hope you enjoy! And of course as always I always enjoy constructive critiques and helpful hints!

And thank you everyone for the nice comments! ^-^~

WOWEE! Become a Mapper Char! xD lol.
Anyways, I really love your first practice contest house~ It’s purty OwO

LOL! I wish! xD
But thank you, hopefully I made the correct decision choosing the final one AS the final one, haha.

Wise is right… Become a mapper! O3O

Lol! You all flatter me WAY too much xD
I am no where near that caliber! I am still growing as a mapper; as you can seem from my cluttered unorganized maps.
And of course there more to a mapper than just mapping.

But thank you very much for the kind compliments. :)

Still…those houses/mappings are really good! you have potential

lol Thank You! ^-^~
I really appreciate it. nibbles on self esteem booster

Haha very funny Char xD

I loved the way how you combined dungeon tiles with the overworld tiles! =3 They look great the way you put them!

P: Thank you very much! I tend to get bored with the same tiles, so tried to mix it up a bit.~

Well it was good!

Yay, I finally completed my house~

Soooo, after the mapping contest I got a 50x50 expansion of my house! And here is the product of my first attempt at a 50x50 house (I am going to pretend like my first one didn’t happen…Winter Contest… X_X )

The theme of this house is… HAWAII! I was thinking of a volcano at the summit of the mountain;with a walk down to the beach. Hawaii is a very green place, so I kept the grass tiles/trees/flowers. I also added some ruins since it does have a rich culture before it got commercialized.

I hope you like it! And yes, I love constructive criticism~
(and I do realize the lava vs grass tile thing looks a little odd,lol)

P.S. Thank you to everyone who helped me fix those pesky little errors I tend to leave in my midst, haha.

O.o That big house is so…big ._.

Very impressive o_o TEACH ME!!! xD

Yesh… large house is…large. xD

Lol! I can help you with your ideas if you want, but you are already a pretty good mapper ^-^~
