Description

An old picture of Stokesay Castle that I coloured. It's a real place, and from the pictures I've seen, it really looks like that. It's in Shropshire (England). original scanned image.

Let me know if you use it/like it/hate it. I made a seamless background tile out of it too, which is quite neat.

~kinglogo0 made a 3d version in Bryce, at [link]

I must admid that I like it only a wee bit better than the b/w original, if any. Somehow I feel that this place deserves a more natural look. And green for the ground / red-brown for the walls looks too flat to me and on the other hand have too high contrast against each other.

Altogether, I'm not sure how much of an improvement the coloring is... :) Hmmmm, ideas... More & different colors. Sandy grey-yellow for the walls, a darker brown for the wood parts, dark brown-grey for the soil, green for the rest.
And, color intensity turned a bit lower.

Alas, placing 4 colors instead of 2 would be at least thrice(?) the work, I know :D
