These are the areas I am submitting for the Area Design Contest.
1. Candlekeep
This is the recently updated version of my Candlekeep area a lot of you have seen already. In this version I have completed the fountains and touched up the shade and texturing.
2. Cloakwood
This is a new area I have recently completed of Cloakwood. This is the deepest area of a 3 area series I am working on.
3. The Trade Way
Another area some of you have already seen. It is part of the Trade Way, a road that stretches along the Sword Coast passing through places like Baldur's Gate and Beregost.
Be sure to check out the new PW we are currently building.
@jlf2n: is there any way I can talk you into doing some interior areas for the Candlekeep stuff? I'd like to use those areas in my Campaign, Dreams of Blue Fire, since one stop I had planned on making was Candlekeep.

Omfg this brings back memories! As soon as i looked at candlekeep i recognised it INSTANTLY! My jaw almost fell down past my feet! And my eyes virtually exploded from my forehead and onto the screen XD! But seriously now this is totally Uber this gets 10/10!

Can't believe I haven't commented on this already :) Very awesome work. These areas are something to be proud of. Just need to create Day/night settings for them and they're good to go! _________________________ BouncyRock Entertainment Anduraga's Blog

I never thought this could actually happen but looking at the screens alone brought back so many memories (probably the best ones of my RPG-playing live) that I nearly did shed a tear. I am not having any actual use for the prefab, but the effort and obvious love that went into the design are worth the highest vote *leaves for his private vault to dig up BG* _________________________ In case you find my grammar/spelling weird sometimes -----> native german speaker ;-)

As said before, this takes me back big time. A great recreation of some classic settings.

How many areas are you going to release as prefabs from your PW? I love your candlekeep design and would like to see your handle on Baldur's Gate. By the way how many external areas are you up to and how mnay internal areas? Plus what is the size of the mod currently and are you seeing any issues with lag?

(Accidently hit enter before I could type this) The tradeway is also put together very well. I like the area sculpting, texturing and tree placement the most. _________________________ Ugly_Ducks Portfolio New Releases: Item Icon Booster: Gore Galor: Click Here Item Icon Booster: Loot Treasure: Click Here Combat City 24x24: Click Here Mine Quarry 2 Level Mine: Click Here [Other Endeavors] Terrain Texture Pack: Volume 1Click Here Item Icons: Volume 1 Click Here Loadscreen Pack: Vol.2 (Includes Vol.1) Click Here Longer Names Override: Click Here

These areas are great. The entrance to Candlekeep looks fantastic. Candlekeep inside is set up very well. Cloakwood is a 10.00 by itself - the texturing looks almost real and the useage of placeables is creative and interesting. _________________________ Ugly_Ducks Portfolio New Releases: Item Icon Booster: Gore Galor: Click Here Item Icon Booster: Loot Treasure: Click Here Combat City 24x24: Click Here Mine Quarry 2 Level Mine: Click Here [Other Endeavors] Terrain Texture Pack: Volume 1Click Here Item Icons: Volume 1 Click Here Loadscreen Pack: Vol.2 (Includes Vol.1) Click Here Longer Names Override: Click Here
