The Estate

I have been working on this project for one of the longest, by far one of the most detailed too. The picture below is done beginning of the year where there are just some basic buildings and layout.


After a few months of slow inspiration, there has been a lot of additions, as well as modification of the architecture. Far from being done, due to the scale of the project, there are a lot more details that are yet to be filled. There is a significant increase in the land size, as well as landscaping work added to date. 

This post is mainly focused on the exterior and the land. Another post will be made in the future as the interior is being worked on. Most rooms are designated but only a few have details put in.

For now, here are the updated pictures:
