Short Description:
Medieval builds can be a fun and innovative way to dispense creativity on a canvas when you feel inspired. However, an excessive amount of block variations can render a beautiful build into an array of confusing colors, much less a bland expression of monochromic potential that could have been used on a different style of building.
This is not a lecture, nor an inclination that Implies the tone of a professional. It simply means that medieval builds can be a tricky affair when you extract it from the imagination without destroying the visual and functional purpose.
It is no secret that a lot can be accomplished with a broader block selection, and of course, with mods. But my personal opinion gravitates towards something a lot simpler; scale.
This build gives you an example of what can be accomplished with a level of scale that doesn't HAVE to be radical for refined detail and block variation, lest you aim for brutally complex oriental architecture, which can easily tax a newcomer into oblivion; A no-no for upcoming creatives, but also a risk worth pursuing. So be aware of the following bullets:
●Scale
●Palette
●Gradients
●Block variations
●Angle and depth
●Invisible/barrier blocks
●Invisible frames
●And of course, your prized friend, the debug stick
