My favourite and arguably the best era of medieval figures from the 90's!

Looks very good.

The Old Town Academy
« Reply #31 on: May 28, 2013, 21:10:10 »
This is my built up Wizards' Landing, which I've dubbed the academy, or Old Town.  In the mythology of my kingdom, this was once the main keep until it was attacked by a colossal creature.  The people left behind the smoldering ruins to start afresh, but witches, wizards and students of the arcane began to arrive to view the remains of the creature, some staying.  The Old Town Academy lives in sometimes tense friendship with the bustling city that sprang up out of its ashes, mostly because the merchants are concerned the magic users could attract another creature!



View of Old Town from the east gate of the city.



Old Town's gate and battlements.



View from the front tower, including the lemony lady, whose notes have set her wolf howling.



The witches and mages are cooking up new concoctions.



Life goes on around the head of the creature.



Plant + fire = Flant?  Plier? ???



The captain of the Arcane Guards, or purple platoon, keeps watch over the academy's quiet square.  The snake charmer here is trying to get his cobra to sing along.



"This worked yesterday..."



Life between the keeps.

These are some updates for life in the main city!



More artisans moving into stalls. 



"No, we do have bananas!"



The smith has gained an apprentice and a new grinding wheel!

As I said before it looks like a really lively place full of hustle and bustle, it's certainly interesting to see all those magicians and Arabs I had the Snake Charmer as a kid he came with a magic carpet and magic lamp very good for someone who was into disney's Alladin at the time, anyway your castle looks great with all the trees and uderowth and the bright banners, I like your Dragon and Axe soliders as well  :)

Great concept for the wizard's area, things are really filling out nicely.

Thanks.  I'm still working on both areas.  I want to develop more of a logic to the way the wizard area is set up.  I'm also planning on some sort of knights' training area or banquet area between the two keeps and try to make them more connected.
