Brandon Stark Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 Sitting at his desk in his office, Lord Stark looked through the pile of letters and other important documents that had accumulated over the course of his time away from the settlement. Though he had founded the settlement himself over three years prior, Lord Stark found it lonely and small, and preferred to spend his time among the Oleander aristocracy at Breshaun in Le Bellan. But now he was back, and he was determined to finish the work he had started. The settlement was basically a sleepy hamlet, overshadowed by the two larger settlements on the island, the Corrish Port Raleigh and the Eslandolan Elysabethtown. And the period of rapid growth of colonies in this part of the world had ended years prior. The excitement was far to the east, in the newly discovered islands. But Lord Stark wasn't one to give up. Now, in his office in the mayor's house that hadn't even existed when he left, Lord Stark began to think of the grand plans he had for this settlement. He was going to make this a settlement rivaling the other two settlements on this island. "What better time to start than now", he remarked, half sarcastically. I've had this build for some time too, but I couldn't find the time to post this until now. As with any other build, any comments and/or criticism are appreciated. Quote
Capt Wolf Posted March 2, 2020 Posted March 2, 2020 Nice scene, but a little too clean. Perhaps a small crack in the plaster wall to mirror the outside from the previous post would be good, or some variation in the floor planks. The piece of furniture under the windows looks too shallow; it needs to be another stud deep, IMO. And with so much brown, perhaps something could have been a different color (dark brown table, for example). But there are some nice details, such as the rings for the drawer handles, the bottle and goblet, and the cluttered desk. It is a nicely put-together office scene. Quote
Fraunces Posted March 2, 2020 Posted March 2, 2020 Nice one. I like these small stories building up to something big. Quote
Bregir Posted March 6, 2020 Posted March 6, 2020 Nice clean scene - As Capt Wolf says, it may benefit from some imperfections, particularly as a digital build does not have the imperfections in colours and texture that real bricks have. I seem to remember the digital tools have the ability to show the individual bricks more, which is something to consider. I also like the story, and will be looking forward to following it! Quote
Keymonus Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 Nice little scene and, as usual, excellent writing! I think your builds are improving a lot with time… my only suggestion is only to make the wall a little less plain, probably with real bricks it would still be ok but with the perfect white of the LDD it can be a little too much. Nice job with the pieces of furniture too, you created some nice details! Quote
