Ive been wanting to make myself a city scape made of glass towers and bridges, much like the city's of the Aachim in The View from the mirror books. I had o start somewhere so this is where i have got on just a basic bridge. it has details yet to be added and lighting and all that needs work but tell me what you think. imagine elves who live in mountains.

Well this will be the entrance to the city. the walls need work and all the rest but gives you an idea. Shot at 2007-07-31

or, take this as an example. Even though it's not glass everything, it has a city scape, and that's what you were going for, right? Sydney as Emerald City

Ok that last one just sucked, heres the enw take on it. walls too transparent but pretty much what i want, towers are what im thinking, grass is great, rock wall still needs work. chucked a random mountain in the background to help to composition out Shot at 2007-08-01

it still looks like you've got a loooong way to go before the "city" looks even halfway decent. Let alone look like a city. I know it's time consuming, but the dedication will always show if you put everything you've got into an idea like yours. However, I know it's an update, and I enjoy seeing them. So don't interpret me as wanting you NOT to post updates, because I do.

I'm aware that it will take a while, you have to start somewhere though, i started with the bridge and then built the entrance way, ive added some more stuff, a second larger wall, will make it look like a market between the 2, then big central tower, smaller ones and houses around it. The idea will always be changing in a project like this so many things will change, here's the latetst update though. Shot at 2007-08-01

Basic model of the houses, should be easy to add things and make maybe 4 or 5 different models to spread throughout the place. as they will mostly be seen from a distance not huge amounts of detail Shot at 2007-08-13
