Erynlasgalen Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 The hand of the Black Spire has quickly spread across Nocturnus landscape, with more and more towers and fortresses seemly popping up overnight. One of the new defenses for the Black Spire is the Tower of Abaddon, a massive Orc guarded watchtower. No one knows what goes on inside the tower, or how far down into the earth it is nestled but they do know that the Orcs have been kidnapping and holding powerful and knowledgeable Mages from all over Historica. Only time will tell what their true plans are and what evil they are trying to awaken from slumber. Hope you enjoyed my Category B entry! My original plan was to have just the upper round part of the tower, and then it keep growing and growing. I'm pretty satisfied with the end result, especially since it took me completely out of my usual building tendencies and color schemes. Quote
thrak76 Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Wow. Very cool! It sure does look menacing. I really like the doors, the dome (and it's adornment), and the terrain/walkway. Inspiring! Quote
Tomsche Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 I really like the use of the 'not so One Rings' on the door, and it is a great build breathing a 'brooding' atmosphere Quote
Gunman Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 thats something different.... excellent moc... i like the small cart a lot! and the round top of the tower Quote
PenPlays Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 I never expected to see such a gothic structure from you, Eryn. Very well executed, and the use of half of the Couruscant planet is a feature that really stands out. Excellent work! Quote
Yooha Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Uuuh, very spikey! The one-winged ornament and planet dome are my favourite. Quote
de Gothia Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Wow! A top candidate for sure! I love this! So many great details and the evil sorrounding it... just epic! The dome on top is genius! Quote
Lord Vladivus Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 As others have said, the use of the planet some is brilliant! I love the architecture in this, especially all the spiky details! Great landscape too! Quote
soccerkid6 Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Tremendous build! You really nailed the Black Spire architecture and the square to round tower looks magnificent Excellent landscaping too Quote
Erynlasgalen Posted January 14, 2014 Author Posted January 14, 2014 Thanks everyone! The planet was actually my main inspiration when I started this, I knew the moment I saw it in Target that it would work perfectly in Nocturnus and I built the whole MOC around it. Now if only I knew how hard it was to make a round tower to fit it and not show the bottom, I may have rethought it Quote
mrcp6d Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Reminds me a lot of Orthanc, and that's a good thing! Quote
Infernum Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Incredible! Love the use of the planet! Love the raven wings too! Quote
MKJoshA Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 I don't have words for how amazing this is. Everything is absolutely amazing. Everything. I like the use of multiple Gandolf torsos. Everything else I like has already been mentioned, so great job! Quote
Torgar Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 I really like the spider thing on top and the wings on the sides. The colors you chose for the landscape look great too. Awesome job! Quote
Kayne Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 This is marvelous! I really like the angles to this tower, it feels like it belongs to the orcs for sure Quote
ZCerberus Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Really excellent work. I am so proud that you really got into the spirit of Nocturnus and the Spire for this round! Quote
Hyler Talliwell Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 The colors you used look beautiful. Fantastic tower, awesome feel all around to the build. Quote
Gideon Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Fantastic entry, I don't know how I missed to comment on this Anyway, I love the color scheme...especially the ground The half-planet with the insect-ish thing on top is also very fitting in the Nocturnus setting. Well done! Quote
mpoh98 Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 This is fantastic work, the architecture is amazing. Like Gideon said, the color scheme is awesome, great MOC! :D Quote
