CCCX - Winter Scene - Beacon tower of Halthas

Post by Fraslund »

Ok.... I should of and would have spent at least two more days on this... but really I shouldn't have build it lol,. I have been on a frantic marathon building spree the past 12 hours and finally got it done.... bleh. not super happy with it, but considering how rushed i was I am happy :)

You aren't giving yourself enough credit. I think this looks fantastic!

(Though, admittedly, I'm partial to winter-themed MOCs, haha)

I like it! The bridge to the outer tower is a nice touch.

I like the height of the tower and the waterfall is excellent. The arches that go all the way up the sides look really good too. I feel like the over exposure of the pictures is washing out a lot of the detail to this build though.

Completely agree! I had litterly 15 min to take and edit the pics.... The background detracted so much from the build that I had to whiten the background and there was a loss of detail. One of the things not easily seeen is that I used hundreds of white flower petals as snow. I will post high rez un altered pics and you should be able to see everything then.

Honestly this was a last min effort and im I am suprised I even got it done. I have never worked so hard in so short a time to get a build done!

I think the waterfall is stunning, and I really like the section of rock-face that juts out making it the foundation of the beacon and the patches of snow everywhere.
