UE4 Fantasy Tower

Christian Cunningham

Please tear this to shred with critiques, It's an art test and I'm trying to get my big break. I was told to make a fantasy tower so I am focusing on that, I made a quick landscape and put some grass on it so I'm not distracting from the tower itself.

Tear to shreds? If you insist:

Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm willing to bet that you based it on this image: 

Am I right? If so, the resulting image is just less interesting than the original, but similar enough that if someone is familiar with the inspiration, they will just remember how it was cooler. The answer isn't to just copy the inspiration more closely, but to think of ways to make your own tower more interesting and unique to YOU. That's how I feel.

Yeah that was one of the towers I was using for reference, I kind of put ideas together from a few different images. I have a few ideas of things I'm going to add. I'm not worried to much about the backdrop because I am being tested on the tower, so I'm hammering in on that.

Looking very nice so far.... 2 Comments:
1: the grass can be improved, with color variation and other things... rocks, flowers, leafs...?
2: the hill you have in the background just behind the tower... for me it messes with the composition, maybe move it to the side, as it seems distracting to really see the tower...
Just some personal comments... might be right or wrong... tho looking forward to more updates

Great work @Christian Cunningham. Nice attention to details.

Changed the wall texture and re did the bricks for the sides.

Since the test is just for the tower I am turning it in, Here is what I came up with. Thanks for all the help guys.

Here it is on my artstation with the textures I made in designer/painter.
