mrcp6d Posted May 31, 2021 Not all of Mitgardia is covered in snow year-round! Outposts in the south near Avalonia usually experience four seasons every year and are considered particularly nice postings among the Guild's soldiers. Wow, I'm truly amazed this thing has been going for 10 years now! A couple more pictures are here. C&C always appreciated! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grover Posted June 1, 2021 Very nice! I like the inverted slopes on the walls, and the texture that doesn't go overboard. You've managed to make a very Mitgardian tower (architecture wise) while putting it in an Avalonian setting, which I think can be tricky since the setting can really change the perception of the tower. Love the trees and the elevation in the base. The irregular base is nice too. The only question I have is about the large rock in the middle with the gap. Is it supposed to be a shale/layered rock of some kind? I've seen limestones like this before and was curious what you were going for here. All in all, very well done!

Louis of Nutwood Posted June 1, 2021 Oooh, the beautiful gold-and-green banner once again takes the grey skies of the world of the mortals! The south borders are filling with the northern blood, while the tree-huggers keep trembling on their feet. Such a beautiful entry, MRCP! Amazing setting with an outstanding northern architecture. The base is very unique, and I love the dirt path cutting right through it. And the vegetation is spot on Avalonian. Truly a very clean and eye-catching build. Kudos! Great to see another fellow Mitgardian join the party. Skol! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kai NRG Posted June 1, 2021 I love the way you decided to do the rockwork in horizontal layers, it looks really good and for some reason the trees growing out of it don't bother me at all. Speaking of the trees, great work getting lots of different branch angles on the left tree! The tower is solid, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I was trying to keep all the rockwork horizontal here in general as I thought it would be the quickest/easiest/most parts efficient method to build out the base and I thought it look pretty cool as well. I do admit that the overhang got a little bit out of control for that section though! 14 hours ago, Louis of Nutwood said: Oooh, the beautiful gold-and-green banner once again takes the grey skies of the world of the mortals!

Until you mentioned it it honestly never occurred to me that trees as big as are here probably would have a tough time growing as I depicted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtooker Posted June 4, 2021 I like the tiered rock base you created. The rock with the greenery certainly looks like southern Mitgardia. The angles you used in the tower are quite unique - I'd enjoy seeing more fortified buildings in the same style! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zoth33 Posted June 5, 2021 The rock base looks great. The dense vegetation gives that nice pop of color. I really like the design of the crenelations on the tower. Nice job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mccoyed Posted June 8, 2021 Love that tower. It makes me think of dwarves, because of its stout and geometrically basic shape mixed with ornate details. I like the idea that dwarves built the foundational architectural style of Mitgardia, with humans adding on to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I too wonder what this architecture would look like expanded to more buildings.... On 6/4/2021 at 7:07 PM, zoth33 said: The rock base looks great. The dense vegetation gives that nice pop of color.

In fact, I used similar angular door jam similar shaping with a previous dwarven build! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Niku Posted June 12, 2021 Very nice tower, the forms make it look regal, strong and kind of dwarfish, great to see more Mitgardian builds on a warmer temperature. Thanks for sharing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aurore Posted July 22, 2021 The texture of this tower is really wonderful. I love how you used all those slopes and wedged corners. The landscaping looks great too, the overall shape of the base compliments the tower quite well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
