Thoughts on this church?

image


Color scheme is inspired by a Caribbean style; only thing I wont change is the color, as its fit to the reference image and I personally enjoy it. The architecture is what im going after here and if I should change anything/ where to add details

Looking for critique- if you think the build is fine, like the post :smile: (please dont post comments of flattery)

Jokes aside, I noticed some small details: we can see the wall through the windows which I guess it is because it isn’t completed? Also, the roof is going over the beam which is a bit weird or at least would be weird in real life.

Apart from that, I would have said the colour but since you are confident about it, I think it looks pretty nice!

Looks awesome! I saw the start of it on Hidden Developers so I’ve been waiting to see the finished product for a little while now.

I have one big thing you could consider, and that is gapfilling the wall trim edges. It’s hard to explain but the attached image should convey what I mean pretty well.

If you choose to do this, I would recommend resizing those parts to be a little bit wider before gapfilling, so that the beveled part it creates it more visible.
I would also suggest using it on parts that are the same distance apart. For example, in the example image I attached, the parts are resized .25 in both directions, instead of .25 on the first and .125 on the second. The top red circle on your image illustrates an example that is resized the same distances, whilst the bottom two are not.

Overall, this is a quick and easy way of detailing builds to appear less blocky.

EDIT: I also noticed your statue on the top window. I’d say you should begin by scaling up the statue 125%, and the window too if it’s required to fit it. Then, remove the flat wall within and create a halfcircle in its place, which will hold the statue instead of it being pasted on the outside like it is now, which looks out of place.
If you take this route, you might also consider making the base where the statue stands on look more part of the architecture by wrapping it all the way around the building, so it doesn’t look like the sill of a window afterwards.
The below image is an example from my upcoming showcase:

I believe the window (frame) was intentionally going to be blocked my bricks. The reason behind that feel is simply a popular design choice since the introduction of window taxes back in the 17th century.

However, again they are not supposed to have the window frame since the majority of images/buildings I’ve seen. I never came across one with the window frame still intact. While if it was not intentionally, at least its an idea for what you could do with the church.

It looks great but it’s a bit pinkish on the walls.

The walls are supposed to be pink, lol.

Very nice church, but I’d remove the blue from the blocked windows. :slight_smile:

That’s amazing! Hope I can be like you. Lol, I can only do cartoony builds.

whoops! I didn’t see that :blush:

It look awesome the only thing that I dont like is the color everything else is amazing.
