Hey everyone,
I had a lot of fun furnishing my Lunar Champion's Hall. Let me take you on a tour and show you the progress so far! I hope you like it.
Description
WARNING: Curves ahead.The home of a Khajiiti adventurer whose travels left his mind in disarray. The Mad God made him build a shrine, reminding those who visit of the never ending hunt for the perfect ponder sphere.

The video might still be in 360p, give YT some time

Earrindo✭✭✭✭✭This is exquisitely done OP!
I'm floored by the creativity and attention to detail. You've done an amazing job transforming the hall into a completely unique space.
Out of curiosity, how many item slots are used? ^^0 -
Ithilis✭✭✭I really admire this house since I got to visit it during our guil housing tour. The curves connect so naturally to each other!
It made me think of this horror manga I once read, Uzumaki.

DJfriede✭✭✭✭✭Thank you, everyone, for the kind words! I might have turned into an Elsweyr curved walls addict. The Mad God made me do it, I swear.
@Ithilis Isn't that the guy who drew the mangas with the human shaped tunnels who slowly twist after you enter them? I saw some pictures that had a similar style.
@Earrindo About 540 items used. Don't get me started about the two other rooms still waiting. I guess I'll just put a big crate over the other ends of the teleports. 1 -

DJfriede✭✭✭✭✭Madness and chaos, but so intriguing! Really nice work. What was it that inspired you or gave you this cool concept?
My original idea was to build a home of a Khajiiti adventurer who has seen a lot on his travels. That's why I put many different knick-knacks and souvenirs in there. The house is supposed to feel like a virtual tour through the adventurer's mind, including all the memories haunting him. As a general theme I chose: round shapes, spheres, the Khajiiti love for the moon (and its light).
I experiment a lot with big structural pieces, turning them in all directions. That's how I discovered the flow of elsweyr curved walls. 2 -

✭Extremely creative, @DJfriede - this is a super unique build. I particularly like the details - the wheel/wall composition
- and the fascinating structural elements... the cavern that you have constructed here feels as though it is part of a journey through the belly of some beast. Excellent work!

DJfriede✭✭✭✭✭I added some new details, here's some screenshots.
A cozier reading nook.
Bar and lounge area with a tree providing the ambient lighting.
A tribute to the Mad God.
An upside down city, because why not.
Hope you enjoyed them 4 -

Hmm, I started out with a different theme for each of the four corners (the monster portal, the bar, the reading nook etc). The general theme was always: round shapes and flowing lines.
At some point I discovered that the Elsweyr walls formed waves when I connnected and turned them. First, I just wanted to make the place feel more cave-like, with rounded walls and corners. That's why I placed the Elsweyr walls. From there on I followed where my mind took me: "Oh, let's see what happens if I take that element, copy it, turn it some degrees... hey, we have built a dome!"
Now I'm in the process of "Connect all the stuff!". My vision is to have a flowing line basically all around the home (and not just segments in different areas of the room).
So to answer your question: I didn't sketch it out. It's all in my mind. Sometimes I just hop around the home for minutes, look at a pillar, a corner, a wall and find stuff that "tickles" me to start there. The trick for me is to find out what I like about a particular element and build on it ("Hmm, I like the circular pattern on the elsweyr floor. Why not copy it and construct a lattice made of wheels?" or "I love the flow of the Tonal Arc, let's add some curved walls to it so that there's even more flow.)
Sooner or later I end up at that Hnnnggggghh-moment when things fall into place. 3 -

Hehe, yeah, that wall of text sounded a bit mad. Tl:dr: I build shapes which feel right and harmonious to me. 1 -
DJfriede✭✭✭✭✭So, I updated a lot in the last couple of days. A new video was in order, I thought. Thank you all for your interest -- I think this is gonna be it for this house for a while.

As the home got rededicated to Hermaeus Mora, it was only appropriate to invite Mr. Mora over. And there he is in all his wiggly glory. Enjoy.

✭✭✭✭This is hands-down the most amazing and creative ESO house I have ever seen. It is also my favorite.
I wish you could teach me how to make such awesome things. In comparison my houses look like refrigerator displayed crayon drawings, lol!
