This is incredible! :V I love these rooftops, and all the balconies. Amazing work!
Out of curiosity, do you ever do commission work?

I do some small commissions depending on schedule, yes.

Might I be able to get a quote? I'm searching for options for environment commissions for a future project and I'm just trying to assemble prices from different folks to see what I might be looking at...

This reminds me of the jungle house that used to be in Disneyland, between the Jungle boat ride and the Pirates of the Caribbean. I still recall it's furniture was mostly bamboo, cobbled together with a lot of "found items" from some very nice shipwrecks.

I prefer Triangular Roofs, but This is very nice. Viking-like.

And from a building standpoint, much easier to build roof rafters from straight materials, hence "triangular" roof.

This really reminds me of Rivendell, from Lord of the Rings. I know it's not really the correct setting, but the style and architecture are what I always imagined from the books! Love it

Yeah somebody else said same thing. There's a picture of that by another artist, has similar features, not the same of course. I never saw it until earlier today.

I love this. Can I use this picture as a visual for a role playing game?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sure, as long as you credit me. Are you just using for a private session or you wanting to put it on the web or something? If it's a private session, no problem.

Thank you! It's for a private game. I'm running a campaign that takes place in a fantasy world with no continents, only an archipelago that spans from pole to pole.

Heh. Tarzan the carpenter. " Me build jungle house. Me build BIG JUNGLE HOUSE."

You mean was the main structure built, then the smaller structure on the left added onto later, for example? Maybe! Could be done many ways.

Very nice. You have a real eye for both real and fantasy architecture.

Id love to try and make this in Minecraft

Yeah go for it. The bow roof and rail/decks will be challenging. Not sure how you will do that. But you can approximate it. If you build it, link it back to me when you are done.

Yes, this looks like a house of an appropriate size. When can I move in?

2 yrs to build. You're okay living in Costa Rica? There's gonna be monkeys and sloths hanging around in the trees.

Beautiful!
Do you mind if I borrow some of this amazing work for some of my own designs?
I have a few projects in mind, and this got my imagination fired up.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Depends what you mean by "borrow." Re-draw, borrowing some of the ideas and detailing, probably fine. But not so much just copying it exactly. Also a good idea, if you borrow substantially, to credit someone, by saying "I used Built4ever's "Blah Blah" piece as a source of inspiration. I don't mind if people build a 3D model based on this either, I like those.

Just borrowing the ideas and detailing, and maybe the layout too.
Of course, I'll put "I used Built4ever's Jungle Research Outpost (link) as inspiration" because I don't want to become the Thomas Edison of neat architecture.
