For those of you who haven't heard my Temple theme, let me direct you to this thread: http://forums.themanaworld.org/viewtopic.php?t=2423

VictorSan: Thanks for the kind words...yes, that was the point of this composition since the whole idea for this is to add it to the Temple map that is being developed. FYI, first I recorded this on my keyboard by playing everything (it has a sequencer which allows up to 5 tracks to get recorded) a...

Rotonen: Sure, I'll try to get on IRC so we can talk. Cosmostrator: It sounds like you've studied or have knowledge of musical theory yourself, thanks for the tips and motivation. I think I can lessen the dramatic ending by not shifting octaves and then continuing the drum pattern a bit before star...

Here's an update to the column showing the suggested perspective and lighting. Notice that the design itself is also a bit different from the first one. Please let us know what you think.
