I've never done any fantasy/mideval textures before. I think this one worked out pretty well, but I sense something about it that just doesn't fit... since you guys have more expertise on semi-gothic type architecture, I thought I should ask.
[EDIT] I should note, yes, this is for one specific place, not for a public texture pack or something of the like.[/EDIT]
[addsig]I , uhh.. well..hmmm
looks nice cass, but extremely specific.
it would be great for a one shot deal though.

I think the problem may be that it "feels warm". some how the colors are a bit to friendly. A gate like that should be implacble and brooding rather than simply old, which is the feeling I get.
I'm sorry I can't be more specific than that turbid description.
Hehehe, I think you guys are just TRYING to find something wrong with it.
Looks fine to me, except that desgin is kinda weird.

i think its separated from the background too much....like a hanging ornament, instead of a moulded-into-the-wall kinda thing....the "ornament" has a different color scheme, yet the same kinda material structure....make sense?....but it depends i guess on what yer going for cass....
but i like it so far man....
the column in the middle projects it outward....but no shadows behind it....

It's the Mantle of the Winged Eye, seal of the Clan of Balbaroth, and the texture is of the Dunst?n Gate of Nazsgild. I may choose to explain this further sometime, but as of now, there's no need to do so.
The kind fellows living behind this gate are not actually evil - their arcitechture is simply to make them seem more menacing, thus I did not coat it with blood or something of the like.
I spent about a full day trying to make the seal look like it moulded onto the rest of the wall, but in the end I decided it looked too strange when the lighting from the rest of the wall was applied to it. Thus, I tried to make it look like it was flat, yet the back of the seal fit the countour of the spike deals. Not terribly sure if I succeeded, but hey, that's why I ask

how old are you matt?
you don't catch on very fast when someone hints, especially as blatantly as i just did.
since i was the person whom showed some indignation, looking in my profile might narrow your search parameters a bit, but even if i didn't have one, there are several noteworthy castle maps right here at SP.
adam hawkins, scary jeff, mazemaster,doc rock i think all had at least one. don't quote me on that tho, cause i really don't remember them all.
