Ikko-Ikki Monastery...

[Snake777]

Hallo All,

Here is the start of my Ikko-Ikki Monastery, loosely based on Torigoe castle in Kaga Province, scene of the last stand of the Ikki in 1582... I feel a Pagoda coming on... 

Best wishes,

S

That's a very beautiful piece. Can't wait to see the rest of it.

I am actually quite, but not 100% sure, if this photo-realistic ... which means, if it is, it is awefully well done 
Where - if so - did You get these?

Thank you Drachenklinge, you are correct it is photo-textured and then pimped up, distressed down and generally abused!!  . I get most of my textures from here:

http://www.cgtextures.com/index.php

It is a great resource and for a free membership you can download 15Mb worth per day. I then find some good reference pics of the type of building I'm interested in making and then de-construct all the elements in photo shop and texture them. I've added a pic of the basic pattern I made for the Monastery Gate to give you some idea...

Many thanks Andym, it's all card, paper and textures, apart from the toothpicks holding up the fence and the banner poles  

Very good
