Sha Rephart Golden Pyramid and Fountain Park
In the very first drawing of Sha Rephart Island I made, the Golden Pyramid was off to the northwest and the Fountain Park was to the southeast next to the Night District. There wasn’t much on the northeast edge of the island, and I finally realized it would make more sense for these two locations to be placed together on that lacking side.
Obmunjalae Service Elevators
The service elevators provide alternate access to the upper floors apart from the two main elevator shafts nearer to the middle of the vessel. In the first picture above, you can see the service elevator shaft near the front of the oben.
So I decided to change the name of the vessel’s large open room, as a ‘hangar’ did not seem to be the right word for it. Its new name is a gwil word that is a contraction of ob-ben, a room of large open space, much like ob-mun is the gwil term for a flat plane of large open space.
Here are the service elevators on the fifth floor. Due to the shape of the vessel’s shell, the shaft from the oben to this floor could not continue directly to the sixth floor. Instead, there is a second short elevator shaft between the floors, with that shaft’s door pictured on the left. The door off to the left in the back of the hallway is for the shaft down. The golden piece attached to the back wall is a “bonk bar”, to prevent people from hitting their head on the curve of the vessel’s shell in that spot.
Here is the elevator on the sixth floor, with the elevator car at this location. The square in the wall on the right is an access panel to some elevator hardware.
The Sha Rephart Council Lords
There was an image of the Council Lords in the Sharpheart page from 2011 that desperately needed an update. Now that the 3D models of the trio have matured, I’m finally swapping that old one out.
The previous image:
Obmunjalae Drink Lounge
There was an area on the sixth floor of the Obmunjalae Voidplane vessel next to the elevators that was just a weird empty space with no real use yet. There was a dining hall on the fifth floor just below this space, and that got me the idea to put a smaller drink lounge to fill it in. This wound up leading to a whole bunch of tangential changes including adding actual hinges to doors, improving the design of the elevators, some updates to Lady Jalae’s model (pictured center frame), adding detail to some of the vessel’s connecting bits (one such being visible at the top of the image), and a whole thing about calculating the appropriate size of the water dispensers so I didn’t make something that would weigh 100 pounds and hurt whoever had to swap them out.
You can see that teas are a key drink served at the lounge, based on my own interest in the beverage.
The gwil name for this type of location is “sefbeko”, literally a drink-house. The dining hall below is called a “yumbeko”, an eat-house.
Winter Incident
Do I even want to know how this started
Interdimensional Coffee Break
“You made one of your little minions into a coffee machine?”
“No, no, it’s just the interchangeable tail that’s a coffee machine.
…
so, do you want a cup?”
“If it’s not a great cup of coffee, I am going to be extremely disappointed in my alternate self.”
A revision of a previous submission, this time with two alternate dimension Creative Spark Dragons participating. Elektra on the upper left is looking rather bemused at the situation, and Lurobak (the prerart in the lower left) is conversing with a microbold helping with the mugs. One robold is recovering from a wintry tongue accident.
Sparkstice (Halloween 2024)
Whoops, forgot to post this here. A parody of one of the most over-the-top NES box covers.
Yezukh’ay’s Kitchen
Lukaud, the owner of the Obmunjalae vessel, built a ‘house’ for their adopted child Yezukh’ay within the vessel. It is placed in what used to be an open lobby between Lukaud’s private rooms and the pilot’s deck. Suyen are so small that the house is built at half the scale of the rest of the vessel. Lukaud referenced the structure of round houses on Yezu’s origin island in the construction, but adapted the design to blend in with the rest of the vessel’s style. The amenities are also obviously improved over the impoverished island. For instance, the stove in the back resembles a suyen design, but uses heat magic devices instead of burning fuel. That also allowed the stove to be used indoors.
The wall decoration on the left features art of Yezu’s face and their void-leaper paddles. The brown pieces at the top are Yezu’s original paddles made from plant leaves, secretly built to aid their escape to the Obmunjalae vessel. The lower ones were more sturdily built with Lukaud’s assistance.
Sadly, Yezukh’ay had no home cuisine to bring to their new kitchen, as food on their island was desperately basic. Instead, they learned recipes from other groups of suyen and the foods of other races they found enjoyable.
