Lord Vladivus Posted June 14, 2014 Dunholt Tower. Recently reoccupied in the face of the Drow invasion, it is acting as a staging post for the defenders of Avalonia. Elves and humans guard the tower, taking up arms alongside one another against the Drow. Wooden stakes, heading to Nalderic to be used in palisade fortifications. A knight surveys the land from the tower's top. An Elven warrior patrols the area. Lords of Avalonia meet to discuss the offensives coming. My entry for Cat B, team Simon. C+c welcome. I apologise for the quality of the photos- if I get time, I'll replace them. I got sand in the finer workings of my camera, so it's a bit hit and miss and I'm still learning the ins and outs of photo editing software. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scaevola Posted June 14, 2014 Nice- good crumbling look to the tower and nice stone path Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike S Posted June 14, 2014 Nice entry and great landscaping! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soccerkid6 Posted June 16, 2014 Cool tower, I like how it twists The black and red section towards the top looks a little odd to me, maybe because the stone continues again above it. Great landscape, the tree and path are sweet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MassEditor Posted June 16, 2014 Great work LV! Like mentioned above the stone path and landscaping are superb. The tower is nicely done - I love the crumbled, worn look to it. This definitely has a lot of details to enjoy. My only nitpick would be that the red part of the tower looks slightly out of place but besides that, perfect job!

-Carson Haupt- Posted June 16, 2014 I really like that tree! Surprising accurate considering how few there are in Nocturnus... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Vladivus Posted June 16, 2014 Cheers guys! I do agree about the red section- I added an extra stone section in, which I made the same size of the red section, whereas the red section had initially been larger- it blends in a bit too much now. Benefit of hindsight- the pictures have highlighted a few flaws for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gabe Posted June 17, 2014 Really nice build Lord Vladivus, i like how imposing the tower looks and the ground texturing and foliage is great too. I agree with SK about the red section, although i think it would look alright if it was kind of like a protruding alcolve that was confined to a smaller area of that side of the tower, kind of like in DC's Tower of the Damned? Anyway, i hope your camera gets better soon, sand certainly doesn't play well with camera insides! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torgar Posted June 17, 2014 Awesome LV, I really like the tower. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Vladivus Posted June 17, 2014 @Gabe, I hadn't seen DC's tower I don't think, that would've worked better. Food for thought, and ideas to play around with! Cheers for the comments guys! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hammerhand Posted June 17, 2014 Nice tower! The texture on the red wall part is very nice. And the peasant sitting on the back of the cart is perfectly posed, great job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kayne Posted June 18, 2014 Good stuff Vladdy! I'm really liking the Avalonian version of you...minus the tights Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Vladivus Posted June 18, 2014 Cheers guys! @Kayne. I only wore tights once, and my leg hairs poked through. I'm never wearing tights again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kabel Posted June 18, 2014 Haha, I know who inspired you with this red/black colorsheme! BTW, nice landscaping! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Vladivus Posted June 19, 2014 Haha thanks kabel! ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
de Gothia Posted June 19, 2014 Looks good LV! Some really great ground texture and the path is looking superb! I agree with others about the red part seems out of place and Gabe had an excellent suggestion to that I think. To bad about the photos though! :( Hope the camera is getting better soon! ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thomas of Tortuga Posted June 20, 2014 Cool tower design! I feel like the tree, while it has some good angles, is too twisted to be really solid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunman Posted June 21, 2014 Beautiful tower LV, I really like the section you made with the red plates. The top of the tree is nice idea too.. Ground texturing is very beautiful too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robuko Posted June 21, 2014 This is s very nice build LV. The colour blocking is very nicely done both on the stone and plaster areas (yes I see the influence there too kabel!). The landscaping and overall composition are good but I agree with previous comments on the architecture, though it is nicely realized. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maxim I Posted June 26, 2014 That looks like a very aged tower where every few decades, men build another level :D Very nicely done :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MKJoshA Posted June 27, 2014 I like your build and there are a lot of things going for it, so please don't get me wrong when I say it seems a little less amazing than your usual builds. It's just little things like the solid orange brink in the red colored, mostly plate, wall and the way the minifigs mostly look like LotR figs with yellow heads and hands thrown on. But overall I love the foliage and I love the texturing on the tower! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
