I've got so many things on the go right now but, I thought I'd take some time to redo the castle I made a couple of years ago at PixelDam

original verison 2 years ago:

the new version still unfinished of course:

Ideas? I've a few ideas that I will save for my final version.

Edited May 15th at 12:17pm :

Finished moat, added entrance, added and completed windows, some subtle details. More to come

So far, the new one looks about 40x better. Great job. Cant wait to see the final edit.

Nice work, can't wait to see it done.

Here's a quick idea on how to break the monotomy of those bricks:

Also, you could make a few bricks lighter or darker, or make them cracked.

Keep it up.
Reaching out to embrace the random.
Reaching out to embrace whatever may come.

I embrace my desire
to swing on the spiral of our divinity
and still be a human.

PsychoCrap - I guess you've not seen pixeldam before. There is a limited space in which I can build. You're water looks a bit bright as well. Thanx for trying though :)

Great job, I love it so far. The wood texture looks great. The windows are perfect. The mote is awsome. Great job.

For some reason I see a side walk around the whole thing... Maybe it's that black outline around it, I don't know. I'm really trying to give suggestions here but it's hard to stop staring at that unique spiffy style of yours.
