Forgotten Shrine

[Tilenull]

A shrine to a forgotten deity, hidden away in the Rakath mountains of Nocturnus. Carved directly into the mountain itself, it remains perfectly preserved thanks to the ley lines that run beneath it.

Still new to castle building and my photography skills are sketchy; C/C is welcome.

Edit: Thanks @Legofin2012 and @Henjin_Quilones for the help with the picture :)

A neat little build, the use of only light grey definitely gives the impression it was carved into the stone, and keeps the attention on the the centrepiece golden statue, nice work 

And for the photos to link them from Flickr, just click on the share button on the bottom right of the photo, go to BBCode, and copy that link in the size you want, then paste it here

Very nice use of SNOT! I also like the use of the grey axle connectors as columns; that is surprisingly not something I have seen done very often. I myself probably would have used more tiles to smooth things out a bit, but the studded look works for the rough rock face. The dark tan base could use some more shaping, though. All in all, a fine first build!

As for posting from Flickr, this tutorial might be of use (the basic idea remains the same, even of some features have changed in the past few years):

Though I'd recommend to add some tiles to it, the SNOt is really cool!

Although it is small  is attractive, I like the studs showing it demonstrates the passing of time feeling.

I'd texture the base, but the architecture around the statue is really nice! ^^

Thank you for the feedback and the help with the photo as well. I agree, the base is in desperate need of shaping but I had a lack of dark tan pieces and I kinda threw it together as an afterthought.

Thanks! I originally intended to add tiles but I wasn't sure if I could dig enough of them out of my tiny collection (which is in desperate need of resorting). I'm okay with the final result since I feel the studs contrast nicely with the smooth shrine.

Thanks for the advice, I'll try to redo the base and keep that in mind for future builds.

Great use of snot and great detail, the touch of gold really adds life to it

The studs out design is pretty unique, and works well here  Great use of the technic parts for pillars

[de Gothia]

Looking really good as said by others! Well snotted! :)

[Blufiji]

Echoing what others have said here. The SNOT use for rock textures works well here. 

[Exetrius]

Really nice subtle build! The monotony of the colour palette helps bring out the shapings extra well. Great studded rockface and nice use of those technic pieces for decorative pillars!
