Excellent little build! I'm impressed by the sense of ruggedness, decay and ruins you conveyed un that scale. Also, nice clouds and moon.

I thought I would build a scene showing one of my favorite battles of the Byzantines. (One they actually won! :D ) :lol: Well, they actually did, every now and then! Some suggestions if you want inspiration for successful Byzantine military endeavours are to check out the eras of Justinian, Basil &...

Absolutely amazing this contest! Congratulations to the organizers for the original idea and I hope to see more about it in the future. Thanks! :) The plan is to highlight other less known areas of the medieval in the future (hence "Part I"), so there will be more, I can promise you that.

Those filthy lying Crusaders who took the city after being given shelter on their way to the Holy Land :mad: Well, it's never that simple. Sure the crusaders were opportunistic and unscrupulous, but they also came to a Byzantine empire that was falling apart and was plagued by inner strife. It was ...

Yes, some do, but the Byzantine Empire is much more common (at least in English, as well as Bulgarian, Armenian and Romanian, which is about as far as my knowledge goes). One could argue that Eastern Roman Empire is more accurate but it's still anachronistic since they didn't know their empire as ea...

Καλό Πάσχα! We will celebrate Orthodox Easter by introducing a new contest here on Classic-Castle, focusing on the bastion of Orthodoxy in the Middle Ages: The Byzantine Empire . http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Maedhros/Random-Stuff/just.jpg Byzantium is the name that we today apply to the Roman ...

I love it! The roof is very well done and the patchy look of the walls as well as the roof looks really good.

I don't think that's a problem, rather the opposite actually. Academia really can profit from people who have seen something of the REAL WORLD outside

That is lovely! The flowery overgrowth is very beautiful and looks very natural. The use of the standard trees also works surprisingly well. Colourscheme perfectly executed and nice figs.

The viking-inspired (I presume?) airship is awesome! I love the dragon at the front as well as the propellers. They are all nice though, and the typical steampunky colourscheme is perfectly used. Thanks! It was pretty much a ninja steampunk mash-up, maybe some viking snuk (How DO you spell that :sp...

Good work on the wall there. I also really like the writing desk. The red details are a nice touch, and the wizard looks cool.

Great effect with the lightning. Also, the hearth in itself looks really cool.

Awesome work! You really did achieve a whimsical atmosphere. The use of the purple and touches of pink is excellent, also the somewhat bubbly-looking smoke coming out of the chimney fits it all very well. And I think the choice of beard for the Inventor is spot on.
