Thread: Browann Mill

  1. #1

    Default Browann Mill

    Browann Mill is about half a day's travel from Carremvek and serves the village and surrounding farms. It is a tower mill with fixed sails which doesn't tend to be a problem as the wind for the most part generally comes from the east (the view is south facing). Like much of the duchy now though it is starting to look a bit dilapidated. There are half a dozen farm houses within the immediate vicinity of the mill and lots more scattered to the east and west. The mill also includes a BREAD OVEN.

    The mill tower is actually a reused ruin. The stone architecture of a past civilisation consisted of round and apsidal buildings with distinctive rib-like decorative elements.

    I started working on this today for a change of pace. I'm hoping to finish it tomorrow although there is all the shading and such to do yet and lots of details. And then I plan to work on Carruport again. My projects might seem all spread out but I don't mind because they are all currently interconnected.

    I also decided to go for a side view instead of a perspective view on the building this time partly inspired by JEdward's previous building.

    Nice map. I really like the side view illustration.

    This will be great to watch unfold. Nice details already, those are some fine looking furnishings.

    Almost done. Just more shading to do on the main building. Labels will be pretty simple.

    Yes, lots of like from me. I think the table with the knife on it in the lower room might be missing its south-side shadow. See, this is so great that all I can nit pick about is a small line of gray pixels.

    cheers,

    I hadn't spotted that missing shadow. What do you mean by small line, by the way?

    I think I am most done with this now.

    Larb,

    Love the map. This sort of reminds me of the Broadleaf hall map that I was working on. It makes me wonder how to use circular spaces like in my round tower and in the mill that you've drawn.

    The quarter-circle stairway that leads up to the next floor seems logical. Would you lock off the 2nd floor with a door at the top of the stairs? Would you cut up the second floor into smaller spaces or would that seem too claustrophobic?

    Any ideas?

    Great work!
