The concept of my castle is based on an energy base from a level in Halo 3. I drew inspiration from the energy pillars and walkways that connect them. I really like how mysterious this design is in the way that everything is sort of precarious and it is uneasy to navigate the landscape. Drawing out the plans was relatively easy and consisted of mainly ideas for the pillars and how they would be connected to one another.
Techniques:

To fulfill the intended purpose of this castle, the techniques used were very objective. The pillars would have to be connected in a symmetrical fashion, and so a lot snaps were used in the creating process. The castle is composed of mainly round shapes, giving it a sleek look and an intimidating feel for those who would imagine themselves navigating this precipice of a castle. The Pillars have "energy" rings around them that signify their importance as the powerhouse of whatever this civilization/base is.
Materials:
To give this castle the intended power base look, I gave it very modern and futuristic touches that would imply some kind of technology that allows a simple design like this to power multiple cities or even a whole society. The pillars are made of blue gem material, as gems are perceived to hold energy. The connecting pieces are made of metal, which although is conductive is not directly linked to the pillars (energy passes through them in an insulated cable inside).
