Hello CC!
I originally intended this for CCCXI secret hideout, but the project was way more ambitious that I originally anticipated. I reached roughly the halfway point during the last week of the contest and had to decide whether to rush the moc and make something slapped together and not representative of the work it was inspired on, or just opt out and throw the time into this to make it as best as I can.
This build was very challenging for be because of all of the angles. I needed to make this look very organic with very little plant life and that was a huge challenge. Also making the decision to use Brown rock has the added challenge of making the distinction between rock and wood more difficult. I really tried to push myself outside of my comfort zone with this build. If you look at my chimneys you will notice a very mottled rockwork which normally for me is something I try to avoid in favor of a more clean look. In this build, that style really fit what I was trying to accomplish.
