kaiju Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) This is pretty much my first real attempt at landscaping, so please bear that in mind. The Shrines of Haven As the town's name suggests, Haven was founded with the idea of providing a sanctuary to those Sea Rats who found themselves following Roland Blaze and the exploratory fleet. Blaze asked for little but the willingness to help defend each other. Consequently, quite an eclectic assortment of faiths wound up being practised in Haven. Until suitable separate structures could be built a small communal shrine building was put up housing four of the largest faiths in the settlement. The north facing side houses a shrine to Oleon's triumvirate. Facing east sits a dedication and ritual sun dial for the worshippers of Helia. The southern side is home to idols representing the Mother of Creation and Serpent of Destruction. The western facing saw the installation of a shrine to the Truachesh neh Triuri. However, some faiths are practised away from the light of day. The discovery of a cave and pool beneath the knoll represented a significant opportunity and one of the last Blackwater Witches set up a shrine to their sinister patron.

blackdeathgr Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 Rockwork are nice, foliage too! My only remark would be the flat plate. I guess it needs some more variety elevation-wise Quote
Elostirion Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 Nice build, great rendering, the style fits really well, I like it a lot! I would have loved one or two close up shots, though. Quote
Bregir Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 Nice first attempt at landscaping - as BD said, the only drawback is the rather flat base. I really like the idea of the four sided (plus a dark side...) shrine - and like the idea of the sea rats as a very liberal regarding your choice of religion. Well done! Quote
kaiju Posted April 8, 2016 Author Posted April 8, 2016 Rockwork are nice, foliage too! My only remark would be the flat plate. I guess it needs some more variety elevation-wise That makes sense. Or possibly a closer, rounded off base. Nice build, great rendering, the style fits really well, I like it a lot! I would have loved one or two close up shots, though. Working on it, but BlueRender isn't cooperating as much as I'd like (I can get it zoomed in, but haven't yet got it properly refocused on the shrine without also distorting the image).

halixon Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 Very interesting build. I really like the rockwork, and the shrine itself looks nice. Quote
TitusV Posted April 9, 2016 Posted April 9, 2016 Nice littlz shrines, I like the first one more! Good rockwork Quote
Gideon Posted April 9, 2016 Posted April 9, 2016 Great way to flesh out the religious life of BoBS and very suitable for a Sea Rat settlement to be such a melting pot of cultures! Quote
kaiju Posted April 9, 2016 Author Posted April 9, 2016 Thank you everyone for the positive comments. After giving up on trying to alter the settings to get close-ups of the main shrine I decided to cut & paste it into a separate .lxf and get images of it that way. Quote
