Description:
There is no argument as to the quality and preservation of Dutch buildings in Southern Africa, they are often raised from the ground even in modern times, stitched together when victimized by time, and sometimes exclusively featured in the most prominent landscapes locally. Depressing colonial stories aside, the renaissance brought a beautiful twist to architecture when construction supported the weight of a rapidly progressing society with an appreciation for beauty. Be it ornate design or simplified facades that signals this particular style, their longevity and current interest will likely stand for hundreds of years.
I constructed this residence from a preserved idea suggested by one of my Patrons, essentially the marriage between the so called "dark ages" and revival architecture that has become less and less common in the age of modernity. Though not a commission, I thought that both would compliment the desire to see what I've learned since I started using Conquest Reforged as a complimentary RP; essentially an opportunity and a challenge that entertains a broader perspective towards bygone ages.
The build displays a central feature with surrounding elements, painstakingly grafted into its surroundings with a detailed touch, connected infrastructure, an ancient baseline, river channels, and a ton of small nooks and crannies that envelopes the build in mystery and age.
Instead of taking the usual descriptive route, which would swell the details out of proportion, I'll condense the complex nature of what is presented in summary with the consideration that words does not always display the merits of hard work and effort, nor does screenshots that hyperbole the structure carry substance to a degree of appreciation for the amount of effort and mental gymnastics applied to an open canvas.
YouTube:
I'm not a Youtuber, nor do I have the time to invest a ton of hours into editing videos to a level of being labeled an expert. However, I think it's fair to at least give those who show interest an in-game perspective of what I've produced, effectively giving you more incentive to take interest or not. Your token of support will be applied to my purpose on Patreon, effectively enabling me to do good for others while saving the rest for an even greater purpose; a huge meal for those who have absolutely nothing to eat come Christmas. My percentage will apply for general use whenever I need it. Just a honest assurance for the wondering mind, no big deal.
