Here’s my sona the Night Emma again! The colors were so much fun to work with-

New fixation

Pool rooms. Below are some renders of a liminal-adjacent set I made today.

I saw this post while I was working on my dewott model, and I immediately latched onto the idea. The poolroom idea is an interesting one—strange architecture with traces of brutalism with a mysterious and never ending spread of ceramic tile and water.

The idea of a water pokemon trapped in the poolrooms is fun to think about and adds a kind of cognitive dissonance to the normal ideas regarding existence in the poolrooms. I feel like the poolrooms can be a kind of apotheosis for a water pokemon. To bask for basking's sake, to swim for swimming's sake.

On the other hand, to a water pokemon, the poolrooms can be a perversion of the greatest magnitude. Water is the life-bringer. In rivers, ponds, estuaries, and oceans, there is life. Pokemon, plants, and humans all gravitate towards it, and many live in it and need to be in it. The poolrooms are devoid of life.

The pool rooms are a heaven and hell, and it is up to those who experience it to determine which.

There are a lot of great poolroom art out there. A lot of it is 3D renders, which makes sense given the simplistic nature of the idea. A particularly inspirational one to me was the poolroom section of myhouse.wad. It strikes a nice balance between functional and bizarre, and it was the primary architectural exigence to my own backrooms project.

At some point in the future I would like to make an animation exploring this concept. When this occurs is unknown. At minimum I need to finish the character model, and I need to convert the lighting scene to eevee render.

"Aesthetic - Poolcore + Dithering + Turquoise/Cerulean"

Aesthetic/moodboard made in GIMP with stock images from pexels.com. Uses the dithering option in GIMP and has a main focus on the colors of turquoise/cerulean.

Additional thoughts below the cut:

Inspired by the Cerulean Waves Mall playlist on Youtube, which I listened to while making this. I also wanted to see if I could use the dithering filter/effect I used while making my "Who's Lila?" artwork for other things, and this is pretty much the polar opposite in terms of colors and style. So I am very happy how this turned out, the colors are very pretty imo.

“Careful, you might fall.”

The pool is closed.
