I believe that the forge looks too similar to the human one now in terms of design. I was thinking about some king of mana-forge /chantry - AS main part of building with crystal shield doodad (or top part of the energy tower - towers are great resource of pretty little details, by the way) instead of planetarium part.

Upd. If the idea of mana forge is too much, you could also take a look at Silvermoon blacksmithing district in WoW: bird-like statue (?), lava pool, etc. Here's screenshot: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/738082972762374224/811913252685479996/unknown.png. It would make the building more unique.

Upd. 2. Speaking of lumbermill I would like to make a reference to WC2 lore: "The Elves of Quel'thalas constructed Lumber mills where they became exceptional craftsmen. The Elves offered their superior skills in service to the Alliance, providing more efficient means for processing lumber".
But what could it mean to be efficient in processing lumber for elves? Is it only about saws and axes? Or it's more about recultivation?
That's why, if the elven tech tree would have a building like lumbermill, I believe it should look like some sort of botanists' station rather than woodcutters' lodge.

I can provide you some icons, if you give me a photo of your buildings with a proper angle.
Blood Elf Buildings- Red Team Color
High Elf Buildings- Blue or Teal Team Colors (but I think Teal is far more immersive for the High Elves compared to Blue.):ogre_love:

Hey there :)

Pretty hyped by the models!

I believe original High Elves icons are blue (for example the High Elven Barracks), maybe it should stick within the same color to remain usable homogeneously.

Everything is looking great! As you requested, I have a bit of feedback for the buildings :)

Town Hall
I think Tier 1 is lacking a bit of something, a bit of "more buildings" at his back.

Barracks
It's looking a bit bigger than the rest of the buildings supposed to be at the same scale, and it's also looking more like some kind of holy building (like a church) or even a noble mansion. Not sure the last point is really a problem though considering it's Elvish.

Arcane Sanctum
Seems okay, pretty much ressemble the base Arcane Sanctum but since it's already an Elven building I think it's okay.

Tower
I feel like the fact it has only "wing" at the top makes the model unbalanced visually.

Lumber Mill
Like others have mentioned, it may be lacking a bit of details. The top roof is covering everything in a kinda "flat" manner, maybe adding a chimney and a axe here and there would do the trick, but I think that's not all. In any case, it's already usable (the axe idea maybe too much considering Elven maybe don't "chop" trees).

Blacksmith
Pretty great!

I really LOVE your work, and I'm eager to see more and use them when finished, keep up the good work and thank you very much!

The exact same tower exists in Outland for the Blood Elves with only one wing. Take it to Blizzard since they came up with the design in the first place. The Tower looks fine with a "wing".

hey all,

just wanted to reassure everyone that this is still going, work/home/study has been at a head the last few months so haven't been able to dedicate the time i would like to, but i am able to now, to update you on progress some models have been getting tweaked/changes and most still have animations to sort (not going to lie animations aren't my strong suit).

i'm starting to feel i need to get these finished asap, so I may seek to enlist someone who is far better at animation than me to help finish as well as one who can make icons so these can get you all who have already been so patient in waiting.

i will provide further updates shortly, thanks again for being patient
