mrcp6d Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) My category B entry: More pics, description, UoP claims, etc. tomorrow. I'm going to sleep... One of the many new watch towers the Black Spire forces have built to protect their newly controlled territory. This one, guarded by some ex-Varlyrion soldiers, sits on the edge of the Moruth Swamplands and protects a passage into the Rakath Mountains. This is my first foray into the world of round towers and I was also channeling a bit of SoccarKid's style with the odd bricks thrown in. I'm not completely sure the color blocking in the tower works, but at least it's Nocturnus-y.

Lord Vladivus Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Great tower, love that small tree and the lime green lake! Quote
The Architect Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 I second that. The lakes a really good touch. Quote
Gideon Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Great to see that the Black Spire is building more towers in the Moruth Swamplands to ensure that the pesky Lord Raavage can't control those lands The tower looks really sturdy, and I like that small gnarled tree as well. The rockwork could have used some more detailing, maybe some plates in other colors or some more dark bley cheese slopes to break up the bigger studded areas? Looking forward to more pics! Quote
Torgar Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Nice shaping of the tower, I really like the lime green too! Quote
Infernum Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Nice build! Love the top of the tower! Nice rocks! I love the swamp and tree! Quote
MKJoshA Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 More pics, description, UoP claims, etc. tomorrow. I'm going to sleep... Yeah, I second that thought! I was up till midnight getting pictures taken and posting. Quote
Dragonfire Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 I believe that is my sigfig at the top of the tower . He has the same hair and face... Quote
soccerkid6 Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 The little lime green pond looks good and I like the olive green vine climbing the tower Quote
Legonardo Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 yeah building up moruth swamp defenses! Quote
mrcp6d Posted January 17, 2014 Author Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) OP updated, though now I see the deadline has been extended Great tower, love that small tree and the lime green lake! I second that. The lakes a really good touch. Nice shaping of the tower, I really like the lime green too! Nice build! Love the top of the tower! Nice rocks! I love the swamp and tree! The little lime green pond looks good and I like the olive green vine climbing the tower Thanks guys! That is the extent of my lime green AND my olive green leaves. Great to see that the Black Spire is building more towers in the Moruth Swamplands to ensure that the pesky Lord Raavage can't control those lands The tower looks really sturdy, and I like that small gnarled tree as well. The rockwork could have used some more detailing, maybe some plates in other colors or some more dark bley cheese slopes to break up the bigger studded areas? Agreed. I need some more x3 & x4 slopes. Lots of slopes to get height quickly, but not enough to do shallow alititude variations. Yeah, I second that thought! I was up till midnight getting pictures taken and posting. 11:59 on a work night! I believe that is my sigfig at the top of the tower . He has the same hair and face... hehe - nah, different hair, and less Mitgardian yeah building up moruth swamp defenses! Only the Noctys want it Edited January 17, 2014 by mrcp6d Quote
MKJoshA Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 11:59 on a work night! Yeah, can someone say "obsession"? Quote
mrcp6d Posted January 18, 2014 Author Posted January 18, 2014 Yeah, can someone say "obsession"? Sometimes I think it's more like a curse!Also, I'm not sure a deadline in the middle of the week ought to be repeated. Quote
MKJoshA Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Sometimes I think it's more like a curse! Also, I'm not sure a deadline in the middle of the week ought to be repeated. That actually makes no difference for me. My work schedule is different every week. Quote
de Gothia Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 I love that tower! So dark and evil! The slimy bog to the right is a great touch to the moc! Quote
mrcp6d Posted January 19, 2014 Author Posted January 19, 2014 That actually makes no difference for me. My work schedule is different every week. Ew. Variety is good, but I like the regularity of a Monday-Friday schedule! I love that tower! So dark and evil! The slimy bog to the right is a great touch to the moc! Thanks man - I was lurking during Book I Challenge 1, so this was a chance to finally build a watch tower! Quote
Niku Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Looks evil, the round tower is solid and the cracks on rock, give a natural look. Quote
mrcp6d Posted January 21, 2014 Author Posted January 21, 2014 That lime green lake is great. Looks evil, the round tower is solid and the cracks on rock, give a natural look. Thanks guys! Quote
