Stash2Sixx Posted April 17, 2016 Atticus Cuervo and his wife Jazmyn have finally finished construction of their new home on the island of Torrach Bonn. Atticus felt that the island was the perfect location to set up his new venture. Along with his supportive wife and quite a few others, a venture was begun, and a small camp was established at the mouth of the Great Serpentine River in the Southwest corner of the island. The first actual building to be constructed was the Cuervo Villa. Atticus and his dog Zatara have just left to go on a hunt for dinner, as we see Jazmyn waving to her husband. This is a small residence, licensed in the unnamed town, on the island of Torrach Bonn. OOC: I took my pics today at about 1630, which was the right idea, but unfortunately, the sun was already starting to get low in the sky so...I get shadows. Live and learn right? Also need to get a different background. The sheet is the right idea, but it's going to wrinkle no matter what so I need to find an alternative. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gedren_y Posted April 17, 2016 Nice to see Torrach Bon finally getting populated. As to the sheet: That looks like a medium weight cotton sheet. I've found that heavy linen doesn't wrinkle much. I have a large piece that was left over from some low budget stage production. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kai NRG Posted April 17, 2016 Very nice residence, always enjoy seeing this roof technique used! The fence looks great as well. If you take pictures in the shade then no shadows! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Braunsfeld Posted April 17, 2016 Shadows are ok (at times) - they are natural! Villa is also fine and I like the red roof (I had used more brown bricks but this is more lively). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TitusV Posted April 17, 2016 Whitewashed walls, red roofs and arches work always! Great job, also on the garden Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kabel Posted April 17, 2016 The house is great and I love the fact that together we develop a somewhat unique Eslandolan look! - as for photographing, try to shoot in the shade or on an overcast day, don't worry about the brightness, you can easily change that on your comp - use a large piece of white, grey, blue .. whatever oversized paper and take it as a background Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bregir Posted April 17, 2016 Great looking little villa - I too really like the style being developed for Eslandola! The patch of garden, the flowers out front, and the creeping vines are all great details, and I really like the balcony and the roof. Adding round 1x1 plates at the bottom of the roof is a brilliant way to avoid the hollow bottom of the round bricks used for the roof. My only critique is that the road seems rather plain compared to the rest of the build. And as this is sitting on a 32x32 baseplate, and is in two layers, I would say you could easily license this as a medium residence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackdeathgr Posted April 17, 2016 A great Eslandolan house! And the surroundings are very nice. I keep dreaming one day i will see a mega-MOC with those Mediterranean houses littering huge numbers of baseplates... aaah, keep dreaming.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tezclatipoca Posted April 17, 2016 Great villa ! It has this specific Eslandola style we all like ! Good Job ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrickOn Posted April 18, 2016 Beautiful Eslander house, the whitewashed walls with red roof looks great and I really like the garden. Nice build! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garmadon Posted April 18, 2016 Excellent build in the Eslandian style, the red roof, white walls, and balcony are great, and the blue flowers and garden patch add some color and a touch of everyday life! I might advise using a couple less colors in the path up to the house though, especially the black looks a bit out of place Great job overall though, and as Kai and Kabel mentioned, shooting in the shade or on a cloud day will help with the shadows!

Elostirion Posted April 24, 2016 I really forgot how much I wanted to compliment you for that lovely house. Glad I just found it in an old tab. Really lovely scene, the plants in the garden are a nice touch, the house is really well done overall, but my favourite part is the small balcony with the lady on it, just love it.

Captain Dee Posted April 30, 2016 Beautiful villa. The design is perfect for the setting and the scale is believable as well. The red roof looks great with those white walls and the landscape is nice. I actually like the lighting - perhaps it doesn't suit the professional mind, but the build brings to mind a warm sunny environment and not the cloudy overcast look of indirect light. Good work.
