Dusty Border Wall

[-Carson Haupt-]

I had a big long story written out, but then the page auto-refreshed and I lost every thing. So here's a short version: It's a big, old wall between Burnby in Avalonia, and Cedrica in the south.

Looks good, the overall is pleasant to the eye.

The orange leave piece is a nice addition.

The only thing that does not fit too well is the size of the gate, could use a bigger one.

But that is just nitpicking.

Thanks! Part of the story that disappeared was how the gate was small to force attackers to dismount, slowing them down.

[Niku]

Oh well that seems to fit perfect with the moc, I was thinking kind of the same thing.

Ok, glad it (sorta) got the idea across without a big explanation!

Very nice creation! I like the gate and the fact that really works!

The color scheme is good too, the olive leaves and the orange ones.

Good job!

That's a very cool gate! It looks really old, so great job :)

Only nitpick: cedrica is a free city and capital of historica, so kaliphlin has nothing to do with cedrica :)

Cool to see a dark bley wall with bley rocks The windows look great and I like the ground texture. I think the trunk of the tree would look better in another color though, right now the bley blends into the rockwork behind it

I like the fact the muted colour scheme evokes dustiness! I do agree with SK about the tree- perhaps swapping the brown arch and the bley tree around so it's a bley arch and a brown tree?

[Gideon]

Lovely color palette and many nice details! Well done!

One thing to mention though is that the white balance seems to be bit off (too orange), I suppose that the background is white in reality?

[-Carson Haupt-]

Thanks everybody! I agree about the tree, but I like the arch brown. And yeah, it is white in real life.

Looks great for sure! I like the colour scheme and the mottling on both the ground and the walls.

I do agree with Gideon about the photos.

Keep up the good work!

Love the color palette in this build! Great work!
