My Little Gothic Gazebo

My Little Gothic Gazebo is my first gazebo of any kind. I like gazebos and they're very useful, but I always figured if I really, really needed a gazebo, I could find one pretty easily so I never said 'Hey, I reckon I'll make a gazebo, today.'
This was an accident. While drooling over my new textures from Twisted Thorn I discovered the lacy, leafy brassy textures that I imagine are meant for gates and whatnot and thought, that'd make a neat dome, much like the one on this gazebo which I would also love to make a version of with the stony, viny pillars that support the intricate metal dome.
I slapped that sucker on a half sphere prim and said 'Oooh, tha's nice' and My Little Gothic Gazebo was born.
Now that My Little Gothic Gazebo is a gazebo and not just a half sphere prim, I am wrestling with MLP to make it menu driven. Tedious work, but not as tedious as animations, so I plug along 'cause I'd much rather be doing this than that O.O
I can't wait to plop a couple of these suckers on the ground among the billions (ok, tens) of trees. Not sure but they might be nice additions to the house parcels. Will have to see when the houses are done. Anyone wanna kick the house building fairies in gear and get them on that?

  1. Good to see that you're out of that slump from earlier. I'm also glad to see that you're creating. Yeah, i'll admit it, a lot of my builds just sort of come together with a very vague idea of what I was shooting for when I started and I end up with something I didn't expect. And ya know? Most of the time it looks better than what I was picturing in my head when I started. I wish you luck with the MLP, never had a chance to play around with it and to be frank (Or Deson)dunno if I have the right type of mentality for it. So far you're Gazebo is looking very nice.
