TitusV Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) The city of Drondil, capital of the county of Drond's Feelds, and one of the major cities in the south, lies next to a river. And altough the river is not comparable with it's brothers in the Trifork, it still allows a lot of trade. Thanks to Bregir who made this incredible map. Of course, to regulate such a flow of wealth (and more important: to make sure a part of it stays in Drondil), the right infrastructure is needed. Therefor, the whole bank is build full of warehouses and other needed buildings for merchants. On these banks, you can find people from all over Historica (even from Varlyrio), for example this young Mitgardian... Wealth attracts thieves, and thug attract thug, but this Avalonian lady still walks alone... ... 'cause the city guards keep everything safe (if the're not sleeping, of course - one has to set priorities). The Kaliphlins seem more interested in the excellent local wines... For good order, the Kaliphlin was removed by a guard who woke up of his noise. Guards can't put up with that. And he spoiled the sight. -------------------------------------------------------- Thank you all for watching, this is supposed to be the first real part of the city of Drondil (the stables and vinyard lying outside it). I'm not sure what to enlist it as, but I'll call it nautical untill someone says different. I need to thank two people for this build: Bregir, who really welcomed me when I started, exact 6 moths ago, and made that brilliant map you saw. He's also really cool to work with for the Saga (don't worry, it will continue) and has another dozen qualities, I'm not going to sum them all up here. The second person is kabel. I met him two weeks ago at BMA, and he was fantastic. I knew some SNOTting techniques fom DC and Adair (thanks to him too!), but he showed me the logic behind them, so I can now invent in place of copy. And I've seen a lot of styles for cities, going from Skavenport to Barqa (wich are two really cool cities), but I never saw the style I wanted to adapt and make my own (that's why the previous build where located outside the city itself). Untill I arrived at BMA. One glance on Thorshaven, and I was in LOVE. With capitals. The monday after, I started building. Kabel, thank you so much for inspiring me.

Spader Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 Nice little docks here! I especially like the inside of the tower shown in that last pic....keep it up! Quote
Blufiji Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 That is some great work. The roof angles, the white washing, and the water are simple but are very pleasing. Quote
Lord Vladivus Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 Very nice! Is this going to be a modular city, similar to how kabel has made Thorshaven? Quote
Tezclatipoca Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 Very good docks. I like your vine cellar ! Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 Looks good - and extendable. Quote
Jacob Nion Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 Great style of architecture. I like the scale of the buildings. While the base is small, it looks really like a scenery in a larger town. Good job on the water too. Quote
de Gothia Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 Great work on this one! The atmosphere in the moc is really outstanding! Maybe a boat in the water, unloading some goods? Quote
kabel Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 Looking pretty good and I hope you start adding to this. Thank you for the hommage, I feel honored! Quote
soccerkid6 Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 You're improving quickly as a builder. Both buildings feature some attractive details and an interesting layout: I the warehouse building on the left with it's steep roof, second floor door and crane, plus the recessed wood paneling on the first floor; the corner building looks cool with it's wrap around roof and wooden beams, though I think the roof would look even better with some black or dark brown tiles scattered on it, to break up all those studs. The wooden edging to the pier is a nice touch as well Quote
LittleJohn Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 Very nice build! The cobblestone is great and I like the stonework on the houses Quote
Bregir Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) I have been very impressed with your buildings so far, but this one is even better! I really like the idea of a row of warehouses along the riverbanks, and you've executed it brilliantly! Even though the buildings are very different, they fit the scene perfectly! Glad you have put the map to good use, Titus - that is the reason I made it! And thanks for your kind words - I am just happy to have helped getting you started here - especially since you are pumping out these brilliant builds! A word of warning, though - don't praise me too much - I'll end up too full of myself, and you don't want to experience that! EDIT: Regarding HSS: I think you can claim "labourers" for the warehouses, and possibly "docks" too. Edited December 2, 2015 by Bregir Quote
