Author Topic: Island Castle  (Read 5061 times)

The choice of colors makes it look great, although the yellow tower seems to stand out a bit from the others.

I saw the Island Castle in person awhile ago, looked awesome. Keep up the good work afkpuz.

i was there when it was hardly anything... ah the good times

I like the golden bunnies in the arches :D

I think this could be even better if the bottoms of the towers looked more like they are supposed to be in water.
awesome

Wait, there were three pages when I left.....

It was nice but the same style was used over and over.

That's generally a good thing. If the style in a single build varies too much, the build usually ends up looking odd.


Yeah I've actually been struggling with style variation to be frank; my plan was to being on the lower levels with a more romanesque flavor and progress upwards to high french gothic (not english because I'm sorry but the 15th-16th century english square spires are just awkward no matter what you do with them.)  Anywho at the same time it's tough to maintain a balance in composition with a build of this magnitude and I totally get where you're coming from.  Trust me, I've got enough sketches of this thing to be well beyond embarrasing

my hope is basically that the upper levels will balance out the similarity of the lower ones while still maintaining a cohesive form within the design

and to someone or other, hopefully yes I will get this done to be a release save with V11 although I have no idea when that's coming.  I'll probably have this done in like 2 weeks (maybe more, I have a busy life) so hopefully the times will coincide.

darkninja that album owns, you own

also apparently in the six hours that I've been away from the internet having fun with real life people I somehow managed to own some scrub so to sirrus:  get out. Props to the old-school builders keeping stuff real, you all own
