[Conversations III] Nothing new(s)

[TitusV]

Chapter I

Chapter II

On yet another sunny day (that is, on a not so gloomy day. We're in Nocturnus after all), Alric was following Gal Turok's back. Because the weather seemed to be holding, that shitty piece of goblin wanted to make a ride. A ride! While his lands were being pillaged by wandering Drow, mist Turok wanted to make a ride.

Gal Turok: Hey, Alric! Where are you man? I want to show you something.

Alric, who's horse had stopped so he could easier think, spurred it hastily and tried to catch up with the Goblin leader, all the while trying to appear not hasty at all.

Alric: Is there anything? That would surprise, in this middle of no-

Gal Turok: Yes, ther's something. Look ahead of you. What do you see?

Alric: Well... Nothing, actually. Why are you asking such strange que-

Gal Turok: Exactly. This is what rest of the Nocturnian peasantry. So would you stop whining about your poor farmers. Be glad you have farmers left!

Mutters unders his breath: Silly hippie.

Thanks for looking, again CC very welcome! I hope you enjoyed the little story, and maybe Blufiji and I will add some chapters. Or maybe not, I don't like Gal Turok's "silly hippie"  I need to thank @Blufiji for support by the last, say, five MOCs or so? This one is completely based on his style (though the cottage-technique is by Soccerkid6).

You did very well with that stonework technique Nice blending of colors for the ground as well, though perhaps a few tiles here and there to break up the studs would look nice

[Blufiji]

My critique remains the same, other than that, the stonework on that house is excellent sir!

Thanks, that means a lot coming from the inventor of the technique! A bit less studs wouldn't have hurted, as you say.

Thank you sir!

Nice build, TitusV!

The stone hut is nicely done in SK's style!  The whole build is very fitting for Nocturnus.  The ground texturing is great, especially with the color variation.  I actually think the studs add to the ground texturing nicely.  Tiles would probably be too slick and shiny for dirt here, though they would still work here or there in small numbers.

There have been really nice builds from you lately, and this is no exception. The story is good and entertaining. The cottage looks really nice, probably the best one you've done, and the ground, with the mix of colors, has a really "Nocturnian" feel to it.

Thanks! When I saw SK using hte house-technique in his Nordheim collab, I thought that it would fit better in a Nocturnian landscape. So I looked at ZC's Nocty builds, and combined the two.

Thank you! I don't think it's my best cottage yet (I prefer the left one in my signature), but it looks neat yes  Nice that you like the story!

Very nice cottage, Titus, the stonework turned out beautifully  The blending of colors in the ground is very well done, and I like the little sapling growing out of the rock.

Nice cottage, reminds me of the typical shepherd huts high in the mountains, built by stacking whatever stones are available.  The colour patterns for the terrain is really nice, but it could use a few more tiles to break the studded surface area a little more. Also, even though Nocturnus is a gloomy place (), I think your builds would be done more justice if you were to increase contrast and/or saturation of your image a bit.

Thanks LJ! The sappling was inspired by @Blufiji

Thank you! I went to Iceland last year, and though it is not on purpose I think the cottage has a beet that feeling.

My photography is indeed a big pain in the megablocks, and it doesn't increase during winters
