Looks like a promising image. Nice work on the model as far as I can make
out.

I agree with the above comments.

These is also one more thing you can do: you can make some interesting
procedural textures for the castle walls (multi layered perhaps)introducing
shadow and highlight in the rough stone and on top of it streaks/veins of
other colors than just plain gray (shades of either green, yellow, white or
red, not so much blue) blending into a pattern, to make the castle stand out
from the background more. Castles are usually made of rough stone and
covered with all sorts of moss, rust or dirt anyway.

The texture of the castle walls is quite important as they cover most of the
image after all.

I often open reference photos of buildings/structures in Photoshop (or any
program that can measure RGB values) and take several color samples with


effective. Just write down a series of RGB values from any old stone wall
and use them to make a procedural texture.
