    Not wasted! Even if none of us share in it, perhaps somebody might find a valuable technique or something to use. I for one, like how you used the bevel to represent the arrow slits. I agree that the coral does make for some interesting lichens.

    I wouldn't worry about the walls vs. the rubble. Maybe the walls had some sort of plaster on them that was broken away when the wall crumbled. I might have thinned the walls a little where there is rubble next to them, but that isn't such a big deal.

    Overall, I like it.

    The coral also looks a bit like a paper wasp nest, only on the ground. I'm imagining hundreds of large stinging insects emerging to attack the poor souls who try to explore this building.

    Incidentally, I like that it's a transparent png--it can be added to another map without much trouble that way, like an enormous prefab object.

    Never wasted. This is PERFECT for an upcoming encounter.

    I took the liberty of trying to show you what I saw in it. I imagine it would make a marvelous open air market. As it's a ruin but still has stout walls, it might be over-run with ogres .

    So, if I may have your permission..... The 'Market' of Undrid Black Ogre...... The VIP rooms are variously places for corrupt merchants or places to keep booty safe etc... Depends on the amount of booty they've taken to sell or the visitors for Gamarra. Inside the market the visitors have some safety from the ogres without.

    (btw. what Dragon did the outline come from? )
