Its not great, really wanted to mess with it in ZBrush but textures.. even normals, not allowed, and the tri limit so no hi-poly allowed
Chosen because, I really couldnt think of an RTS style landmark that would take me 100 minutes to complete.
999 tris
100 minutes
Top left of the image shows an RTS view of the model so you can kinda see what it could look like 'in game'
Method:
- Started with the base, a box, extruded bits out etc etc.
- Used a Box again for the main form of the lady, turned on Nurbsmooth and added edges getting the shape how I wanted.
- Made a basic head from a box, crown from a circle spline with 0 segments, spikes a single tris.
- Torch from a cylinder with 5 sides.
- Book is a box
- Experimented with fingers but decided that would be something for texturing (and it wasnt working how I liked)
- Added the robe from a plane, giving the form a bit more shape because without normals, it looked a bit flat
- Finally Collapsed the NurbSmooths I'd used and removed edged trying to get from 1500 to the 1000 tri limit

There you go people, I've set the bar pretty low so lets see more entrys! I love little RTS things.
good luck!
