The Harvest Hearth Inn Finally Opens (Prompt 4/13)

The Harvest Hearth Inn is known as the most welcoming place in all of Frostfall. It's famous for its wrap-around porch, where travelers' coats and quilts are aired after a long journey in the cold. It is said that the huge, multiple glowing windows actually draw in travelers from miles away with the scent of pumpkin pie cooling on the sills.

This is prompt 4, and I am so relieved to be sharing the Harvest Hearth Inn. Honestly, this one was a big challenge for me. There were at least six different shapes I tried for the building. Every time I thought I had the final look, my mind immediately started sketching another choice. It was pure back-and-forth chaos

These are the six looks I was able to make not my intention to prolong the process but I can't help it my mind kept doodling

The hardest part was making the inn "long and horizontal" while still sticking to our core village aesthetic of segmented terracotta walls and rounded shapes. I needed it to be big and welcoming, but not just another Spiced Sip Haven clone. In the end, I settled on this shape, which is very similar to the Sip Haven, but it successfully carries over our signature style. The tall, snowy chimneys give it a unique Inn-like profile plus the name on the roof. I am so happy the whole village is looking cohesive.

That's four down almost one-third of the way through the challenge, which means there are only nine more left to finish before the end of the month. I know the struggle is real, but let's keep pushing. Thank you for your participation in this challenge been seeing awesome entries lately.
