Castle GreySkull
Castle GreySkull
Greetings!
Finally finished! This build is a bit sloppy, but honestly I was just trying to finish it.. It was way more parts intensive that I originally intended, and really was an exploration in techniques I hadn't used before. by the time I was done, I felt I could have done a better job in the front from where I started and the overall design, but such is life

Re: Castle GreySkull
Incredible texturing throughout the build, and the round towers are carried off beautifully
I think the "sloppy" feeling actually adds to the build. The wooden section on the top of the back tower adds a nice bit of color/contrast

Very well done. I particularly like the fangs.

Re: Castle GreySkull
The texture of the overall build is amazing. Those round towers are inspiring. Great job!

Re: Castle GreySkull
Yea Frontpage material
Good thing it got up there, because I would had forgotten to comment on this masterpiece
"I have the power"
There is no need to think this is sloppy, if it is it only helps as soccerkid said. Oh man I loved Masters of the universe when I was a kid and this brings back so memories.
Very awesomly made, did you use something more than images from magazines as reference?
You should build and design some more He-Man Lego stuff, as in this thread it was discussed about decades-old irrelevant license ideas: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=23358 , TLG could make a Motu theme and I would absolutely vote for you to design the sets, based on this moc of yours

Re: Castle GreySkull
Wow great build! I was always more of a Thundercats fan myself but I remember He-Man. The texturing is excellent and the skull face is very well-done. Great job!

Really impressive man! I like how the entrance collapses downward to make an opening jaw. Very clever, and effective shaping and texturing too!

Re: Castle GreySkull
Totally awesome build! I love the little brown part, contrasts nicely.
