Not enough people make use of coloured glass in their builds: luckily, Sofia is here to show us all how it’s done with her entry in nerd.nu’s competition to design their new server lobby. This beautiful undulating tower snagged first place - but you should check out the server to have a look at the massively impressive second and third place builds which will also end up in the rotation for the server’s lobby.
“My first inspiration was Elven,” says Sofia, “but our current lobby is a giant tree and so I didn’t want to go the nature route, because that’d be too repetitive. Instead, I had the idea to make a floating island palace. The whole build would be centered around the tall spire in the middle which would hold the actual lobby portals.
“I started on the spire, building up each side at a time. But I decided I didn't like the all white and incorporated in the coloured clays. Then I joined each side up to give the building its curves.”
