Which do you like the most?

The Terminator face (and possibly body) is already in the Helion Eclipse outfit.

This season is gonna be good!

Beyond the rolling hills, the spires of Avalon pierce the sky. From somewhere deep within the city, bells begin to ring, distant, golden, and half-hidden by the wind.

You make your way through the bustling outer town. Market chimes dance above the streets, merchants call from crowded stalls, and bright banners snap above restless cobblestones. The city breathes around you, vibrant and alive. Between rooftops and fluttering banners, the golden spires appear once more, and the bells seem to draw you onward toward the gates.

Yet glory is not Avalon’s only promise.

A wrong turn pulls you from the sunlit market into a shady alleyway, where lanterns flicker low, whispers scrape against the cold walls, and unseen eyes track your every step. For a heartbeat, the city bares its shadowed face. Footsteps echo behind you. You quicken your pace, chasing the faint toll of the bells as it threads through the darkness. As the footsteps draw closer, you run toward the sound.

At last, you burst from the narrow alley and back into the open light and as if fate itself had led you there, you find yourself before the grand castle gates. From high above, the cathedral bells ring loud and clear now, vast and radiant, their echoes rolling through the stone as Avalon’s inner citadel reveals itself beyond them.

Sweeping courtyards, echoing halls, and towers of sunlit stone rise before you, a dream carved into the heart of the city.

Welcome to the Courts of Avalon.

Thank you for listening <3 and thank you for all the lovely comments on my last post!

I've been working on this daily for several weeks now, iterating and iterating and I think it's finally done now! I've lost a lot of sleep, I can finally rest now! Please enjoy!

Let me know if you'd be interested in a breakdown of this piece to see how it came together and what you'd like to see, and feel free to ask any questions!

For those thinking they could never make something like this: I too have thought that, I am not musically trained, have not studied music theory (know next to nothing about it), I have a good ear and I compose by ear and trial and error and just let the flow and my imagination guide me.

The Project info states ~50h spent, this project came a long way and started with just a simple harp arpeggio back in March, 3 months later I picked it back up and have worked on it almost daily. It's kind of sad that it's done, working on this project has been my biggest joy in my music making journey yet, and not even close. I will miss working on this piece.

I also created and added a little narrative/visual journey to show what I imagined when composing this (sorry it's vertical in a landscape video, if you want I can upload it to Google Drive or something). I might use it to promote it once it's released, but I just made it for the fun of it, it's not part of the piece and the piece was not composed for it which is why it was cut to fit the narration. It's playing after the recording.

Thank you and have a great weekend!

EDIT: For those wondering about the libraries used, I've commented them in my last post: https://www.reddit.com/r/FL_Studio/comments/1ua687l/comment/oszmxw2/

Beyond the misted hills, the spires of Avalon pierce the sky. From somewhere deep within the city, bells begin to ring, distant, golden, and half-hidden by the wind.

You make your way through the bustling outer town. Market chimes dance above the streets, merchants call from crowded stalls, and bright banners snap above restless cobblestones. The city breathes around you, vibrant and alive.

Yet glory is not Avalon’s only promise.

A single wrong turn pulls you from the sunlit market into a choked alleyway. Here, lanterns flicker low, whispers scrape against the cold walls, and unseen eyes track your every step. For a heartbeat, the city bares its shadowed face.

At last, you stumble out of the narrow alley and into the open light.

Before you stand the grand castle gates, already thrown wide. The bells ring loud and clear now, vast and radiant, their echoes rolling through the stone as Avalon’s inner citadel reveals itself beyond them.

Sweeping courtyards, echoing halls, and towers of sunlit stone rise before you, a dream carved into the heart of the city.

Welcome to the Courts of Avalon.

I've been working on this daily for over a week now, iterating and iterating and I think it's finally done now!

Let me know if you'd be interested in a breakdown of this piece and what you'd like to see, and feel free to ask any questions!

Finally using all my sample libraries. For this piece my inspiration came from the game Fable, or well, fantasy worlds in general. I imagined arriving at a huge city, first walking through the outer town, seeing the markets alive, but after making a wrong turn ending up in a dark alley witnessing what happens in the shadow you end up back on track and finally walk through the castle gates to witness the majestic town and citadel inside.

What do you see when you listen to this?

What do you guys think? I was inspired by what I've seen from the new Fable game.

Any ideas on how to continue?

Edit: The video audio sounds compressed and a bit dampened, I uploaded a lossless version here: https://soundcloud.com/maindful/the-courts-of-avalon

Good morrow, noble adventurers,

By royal summons, I bid thee journey unto Avalon, where harp strings first whisper beyond the outer fields, and stone towers rise beneath a golden sky. Pass now through the ancient gate, and behold the courts within!

Yet mark thee well, for not all within these walls is bathed in light. In shadowed alleys and forgotten corners, secrets stir beneath the crown, and still the path leads onward, toward the noblest halls of Avalon.

I humbly lay this piece before thee, and would be most grateful for thy counsel. Tell me, what visions didst thou behold upon the road?

I thank thee kindly for lending me thine ears!

(A humble note: this piece is not yet brought to its final form, but remaineth still a work in progress.)

EDIT: Also, I have released a preview on my Soundcloud (linked in my profile) if you want to listen to it in higher quality, it sounds quite compressed here.Though it's a follower exclusive until it's released.

...especially for the deadbolt directive outfit...that top looks dope...

I couldn't find anything in the settings and I hate how Davinci handles cross fades with having to cut the clips for them to be able to fade rather than the fade doing that automatically. Is there something like what you can do in FL Studio where you can overlap two audio clips and they will auto cross fade?

Say I have 10 songs playing one after the other and I want to crossfade each, what's the easiest way to do that in Davinci?

1. Lara Croft Ascended
2. The Queen
3. The King
4. The Warlock

But the current trial system really really puts me off even trying. I'd like to play the game more often, but I know I can only play it on Sunday's if I want a chance at this as a solo/maybe duo without grinding hard.

So how hard is it as a solo/duo? (green color is locked behind Hotshot)

Most would be insta buy for me. Especially #3 with a cape like that!

EDIT: The last 3 are not Tahir Tannis’s Concept Art. Just 3 ideas I had.
