soccerkid6 Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) Master Architect Challenge There are many wonders of architecture throughout Historica: massive dwarven halls, lofty elven towers, elegant cathedrals, and impregnable fortresses. But Revolword and the Elementals have laid waste to many of these structures. Now that Revolword has been defeated, craftsmen across Historica have started taking up their tools to rebuild the former glory of Historica. Show your character assisting in either the building of a new architectural wonder, or assisting in the repairs of a building damaged by the Hand or Elementals. The main focus of your MOC should be on the architecture of the building and construction work on the building. Maximum size 48x48 (2304 studs in any configuration), minimum size 8x8 (in any configuration). Deadline: August 1 (as long as it is still August 1st somewhere in the world, entries will be accepted) Prizes: There will be a winner selected from each guild and they will earn a guild specific parts pack and GoH title: "Master Architect of Historica" Prize packs: Builds will be scored in 3 categories 1. Guild style - How well does the build work with the overall styles and theme of the Guild? Are you incorporating your Guild colors? Does this look like it would fit well within some region of your guild? If your build is actually set in the lands of another guild, explain where it is and why you're building it. 2. Technique - Is your build very original? How does your build stand apart? Have you utilized some new techniques that you haven't seen before? Did you have a very intriguing storyline or did you show entertaining interactions between the characters in your MOC? Creativity and originality will help boost your score here. 3. Presentation - Does your presentation pop? Are your pictures crisp and clear? Did you provide different views of you build? Did you provide a good description of the build to accompany your pictures? Photo quality is a key aspect. Post a pic of your entry here, and a link to the topic. If you have any questions please ask Edited June 8, 2013 by soccerkid6 Quote

ZCerberus Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 Remember all challenges with prizes are to go through EB staff. SK6 got this approved! Now get building. Quote

Gideon Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 Sounds like a really good reason to get out of the post-challenge-VI downtime and get building again...if it hadn't been for a few weeks away from my bricks all of July and a lot of maintenance work due on the house before then. Well, lets see if I can get something together before going away Quote

Maxim I Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 (edited) SK: minimum build is 8x8 studs (a slight overhang is fine) => so if I build a giant tree on a 8x8 base but with a enormous overhang (diameter less the 48 studs), it would not be allowed? Edited June 8, 2013 by Damaximus Quote
