A Lizardmen Ruin (WIP--More Pics--Vegetation)

Hey everybody. This is my first real attempt at terrain. Initially the idea was to be a Sacred Spawning pool for lizardmen, but I think most people would agree it is too shallow, so I'm not exactly what it is persay, but its something...

It is definitely a WIP, but let me know what you guys think so far -- Thanks.

Well it's not really too shallow as it can go "further" into the ground its just the exit from the spawning pool

 

Re: A Lizardmen Ruin (WIP)

this is a really cool looking ruin so far. and if i had one like this i'd still say it was a spawning pool. im thinking you could say the rising sun is a sort of platform in the pool or something...idk, just an idea. lol. i can already see the finished product in my head kind of. great job so far and good luck!

 

Re: A Lizardmen Ruin (WIP)

Thanks for the compliments. I made a little more progress today. Got the tree laid out as well as the vines crawling up the obelisk. I will probly do some more vines along the sides as well. Lemme know what ya guys think.

 

looks pretty sweet mate =) and i agree, you should use it as a spawning pool, just make the water a little darker to represent the illusion of depth.

Good luck =)

 

Thanks.

I decided to work late, soo.. More updates! haha.











Its definitely not done yet, but it is certainly getting close.

 

Looking great, I would like to say what may halp the look a little is if you glue some sand on the stone bits of the pool. maybe not inside, just to give the stone some texture then paint over it a bit. Either way its looking fantastic.

 

Well, I think its mostly completed. Let me know what you guys think. I, of course, still have to add the water effects inside the pool, but I have yet to get water effects and learn how to apply them. Anyway, I like how the ruin itself turned out.







A foolish warm blood probed too deep into Lustria.




Many Skinks are tasked with defending outlying temple ruins.

I considered this, but I thought it would make the stone structure too uniform with gravel. Thanks for the tip though.

 

loving the fluff, is it finnished yet, i love the trees

I like it, say if you did decide to make it into a spawning pool you could use some clear platic sheets then paint on them. it may even create the perseption of depth.
So you could remove them if wanted to change your mind or use it as something else, and not riun the finshed artical.

 

I think it looks to "new" tbh. it needs to look more weathered, have no idea how to do that tough ^^
Good luck.

 

i dont think it should be weathered as a ruin - if it is still being used as a spawning pool then the skinks would keep it in good condition

therefore it would always more or less look new
