As Steve began to float away from his island resort on his luxury airship 'the screeching eagle' he looked around taking in the stacks of emeralds, diamonds, gold and the rest of his wealth lying around him! Now Steve was not a greedy person and felt uncomfortable having such extreme wealth when he knew millions around him had nothing, nothing at all. He knew what he should do. Not keep the money and riches to himself and die alone with the nagging feeling at the back of his mind telling him he could have done more, much much more. Steve spent hours at his desk designing a hotel where anyone could come, free of charge, and stay for a week in luxury beyond anything they had experienced before. However no matter how long steve was there he could not come up with a design suitable for such a majestic structure.

As night fell Steve lay back on his bed and suddenly it came to him, he remembered back on the casino floor in his resort a man sitting at the bar in a black cloak. He was sat there for hours, not drinking a drop or eating a bite and not communicating with anybody at all. After watching the mysterious figure for some time steve, unable to control his curiosity, approached him. The figure, sensing steve approaching, spun round 2 gleaming eyes peaking out from under his hood. steve tried to make out some sort of features on the mans shadowy face but he couldnt manage. 

Steve recalled the conversation that had followed, which went on for many hours. Finally the man had reached under his robe and pulled out a roll of parchment. Steve looked in bewilderment at the parchment as the man unrolled the most beautiful drawing steve had ever scene. The hairs stood up on the back of his neck as he read the line of scrawled text along the top of the picture.

Steve, lying in his bed, knew this was the man for the job. Without further ado Steve rushed back to the resort and recruited the man into his ranks as chief architect. Slowly block by block the man began to build the tower as steve watched from afar on his airship. And that concludes the story of The Letherian Tower, as currently, as of today, it is still a work in progress!

I love the exterior, but your interior skills could use a little work. A lot of the furniture looks a bit plain, but this is one of my favorite skylimit builds so far!

Ohh nice I had not seen your last update I really really like the top that you added on your building btw it really brings it all  together. One thing that you might want to think about is maybe terraforming the grassy areas under the bottom overhang a bit to really make your structure pop. Like maybe add some gardens ,some sort of small reflecting pool, or like a nice pathway etc. I am not sure how much room there is under that overhang from the pictures for that but I think it would really make your building more dynamic if there is room.

dbrack

August 11, 2012, 1:33 am

yeh thats a good point i currently have no mods on so i would have to terraform by hand so i will get like the main building part outa the way first.. Yeh i totally agree about the thing on top i was (ngl) quite pleased with that as i had no idea how i was going to do it. any ideas on the middle bit i feels a bit empty and ive spent like 30 mins trying to figure out what i could add lol :) (thanks for the feedback btw)

Meblin
Level 37
Artisan Artist
August 11, 2012, 1:45 am

hmm idk maybe add in another color to the windows in the middle like maybe blue or lapis. If that is too much color maybe dark grey or light grey just to give it an accent color.
 
Maybe some sort of nifty supporting glass structure in the open area possibly but then again i kinda like the break in the architecture being empty like that.




I kinda like the way it is right now though but of course I cannot see it close up so I can't really make out the details in the middle part very well.
