OH MY GOD ! I can't believe I actually finished this round (not in time but what can I say? Procrastination much?) Q. I have to say that I wouldn't have been able to make it without this delay so a big THANK YOU is in order. Without further ado, I present you my :
Third round entry :
Would you believe me if I say that I knew right away what kind of house with which kind of features I wanted to build for this round? And that it took me three days just to manage to achieve something that pleased me? To be honest, I actually built two different houses on this foundation before I managed to choose the one that I wanted to submit. And then I lost my mojo and every single step was a nightmare. Two days before the deadline not only was the house completely bare, but I hadn't even started on the landscaping. And my computer wouldn't stop acting up. No need to say that I had quite a scare this time. Hope it will serve me as a lesson for the last round.
The Bloody Manor
For centuries, this imposing manor house have scarily reigned upon its neighbouring houses in Moonlight Falls. Enshrouded in mystery and gloom, it is said to be the home of a certain Mr. Wellington that very fiew people have ever seen. Rumors have it that after the loss of his wife, the mourning master became a recluse and decided not to step outside of his dwelling anymore. Time passed away and on the rare occasion a fortunate soul happened to distinguish the lord behind the tall wrought iron fences surrounding the manor they would whisper frighteningly about his untimely beauty and the air of inhumaity that hovered above him. Despite his never changing youthfulness, people never quite managed to prove that the beautiful lord was versed in any kind of dark crafts and to this day the disapearances occuring in the manor's vicinity have been a source of many legends.
