Lords be returning [wip]

[Heinvers]

Hey guys. I'm trying to make something (I know right) in the themes of Lordaeron (for Lordaeron!).

I mostly opt to try out and make some stuff along the lines of Arthas returning from Northrend but set in an alternate course (WOD not included....).

You know the lowering of the drawbridge at the end of the Human Campaign right. Some wips and references shown...

@Keiji kun @~Void~ the rest of the Terrain Jurry -rip- *sobs*.....ideas?

For now it looks to blocky and middle-agey for as lordaeron (in the cinematic) always had a slight baroque-esce appearance, similar to that one of naboo. Maybe not necesarilly the colour palette (as the cinematic has that kind of orange vibe to it that might distort the real colours and in wow it's dark grey/greenish, although there all is left is ruins).

Something about the window placement seems really off to me

Looks good, tho I would add some Loarderon banners and also having those large glass windows in walls seems a bit ineffective defensive-wise

Actually it is mixed with medieval and Renascence if you watch the two human cinematic from WC3.

Thank your for the feedback guys.

I can trust that it'll look good on whichever direction you're going for. I think would feel more immersed in the Warcraft universe if the bricks had a different hue to them, or if the bricks had a cleaner texture. A colder hue, with a bit more of blue-ish tinting to it, or a blue-ish grey. I mean, it does look convincing as it is now, but it doesn't look too much like an Alliance castle (even though the cinematic has that orange sunset vibe). Perhaps adding banners and other typical Alliance decoration could do the job though... requires experimenting a bit to know for sure.

Very noice nonetheless

Hmm I didn't notice that. Maybe they're too high? I mean, they're touching the ceiling with the tip of their arch.

My terrainer senses are tingling.

I'll be following this one with interest, and comment when there's something to comment on

I'll say this for now though: Yes, the windows are weird. They're too high up when considering the
structural framework, and they are a bit too large in size compared to the rest of the castle resolution.

While Talavaj's models are amazing, they don't really scale too well, especially when compared to / used
together with other high resolution skins.
