Re: Decorate a castle contest! 3mil prize goes to one winner!
Ok now with my forum whoring (sorry mods) out of the way I can post pictures of my entry. It took me a little under two weeks and I needed to get it done before thanksgiving so I left a few areas bare (namely the closet, the entryway, and the two offices) I'll be honest I just ran out of ideas, it was my first castle and with little to no input (no fault of anyone I just never got up with rambone to interview him) I didn't know what to do.
Also I should mention I did the entire second floor then saw that he didn't care about the second floor lol, so with all my ideas exhausted I started the bottom. There are also a few areas that use Quaterstaffs as an item, they would be replaced with blackstaffs (namely the Big Screen TV)
My overall theme of the whole castle was a large club/resort that the owner also lives in. You'll see the influence with the pub upstairs and the TV (for the games duh) and the hot tub downstairs. I also added in some elements downstairs an owner would have. Also with the two offices, one element I just didn't get time to put in was a performers area. The left office is the guys personal office, the right one is his business office.
On the rear 2nd story walkway that's where I wanted to put a standing room performers area, the left walkway I wanted to be a flower garden but I ran out of plants lol
The offices need to be flushed out some more. I scrapped in with a little under 3500 lockdowns which limited my options with roof decor.
Also I apologize but I half assed the fish tank, it's near the hot tub. It should look much nicer than that but I just wanted to get it in to show you what would be there.
Without further ado, the links to the full sized images and I'll post previews below:
