Presenting . . . Kevin's Watch

Post by **Orlion** » Tue Jul 28, 2009 9:36 pm

Hmmm....not bad... I'd always pictured a more greyish color to the mountain, but I don't recall anything in the books that would give me that idea...just my prejudice

I do like how it juts out like an accussing finger... my main problem is that I also thought there were more moutains surrounding it? Someone else (Wayfriend) will correct me if I'm horribly mistaken... but the actual Watch is amazing, good work!

I have a version of this coming out....... eventually..

I love the textures and color of the rock..what program did you use? Bryce or Vue?

I always saw this as higher up than that appears.... Maybe we need some stuff in the background for perspective. Also there should be a path cut into the rock in some way.. now it may be so far away you just cant see that kind of detail

Isn't KW actually on a mountain range that's 2000 feet above ground-level? And KW itself is "at least 500 feet from the base"...I remember that- making it 2500 feet above ground level, right?

Ooohhh.... like.

How about the stairs?

I suspect that the stairs were constructed by the Giants.

I suspect 'deer' is hoping 'hue' will be constructing the stairs...

Looks phenomenal...is there anything that would suggest the Giants' hands in the work?

Great work guys, but for me the definative Kevins Watch will always be the one illustrated on the cover of the first UK paperback issue (by Fontana I believe) of LFB. This must have been the reason I picked up the first book, for the first time, all those years ago. Check it out in the cover art section.

do you mean this one? ..

.this was the only one i could find... there was one that had a square tall stone being hit by lightning...I wasnt sure if that was supposed to be Kevins watch or the Colossus of the fall...

Yeah - that stone tower with the lightening is the one I meant (see Hue of Bones posting). Must admit I never considered it as anything other than the Watch. I seem to remember that Lena said she had seen a diturbance up on the platform that had drawn her up there and always assumed the lightening in the picture was a reference to this. To be honest I can't remember if the Colossus featured in LFB in any active sense that would account for the lightening and so the court will have to remain out on that one for the present.

I forgot... the colosus was on one cover that i can remember... the Power that Preserves by Sweet.
