Hey all - Working on making a map of an Obelisk/Watchtower (in photoshop). I've tried to make an obelisk before and always struggled so I figured i'd see if anyone has any suggestions or ideas about how to make it look less like a pyramid and look better in general.

So I created a base layer that serves as a platform for the obelisk - and then another layer with a large bevel (chisel hard) for the body of the obelisk - and then finally another layer for the pyramid top. I tried experimenting with the screen/multiply settings on the bevel and the contour.

The textures i'm using here are basically placeholders until I get the building down.

So - any thoughts/suggestions are appreciated
