Various pictures of Bodiam Castle, near Hastings! It was built some time during/after the Hundred Year War, was never besieged and never attacked... and stayed afloat until the Civil War, at which point the owners were Royalists and the estate was seized by Parliament and it fell into disarray.

Nowadays the ruin is in the hands of the National Trust, and is the home of two different species of bat!

It was also rather windy, thought that might have just been the weather today.

Janblu and Nelarth come across an old castle and decide to look around.

This one was difficult but enjoyable to draw. The photo is from when I visited Bodiam Castle.

British Comedy Month 2 - Monty Python and the Holy Grail

This here is the main reason I’ve wanted to spend a month looking at British Comedies. Yes, Hot Fuzz was another major reason, but Monty Python and the Holy Grail is, well … Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Released in 1975, this movie cost less than 300,000 British pounds to make, yet it earned over 2.3 million. It popularized the British comedy group internationally, when before this, they were…

The Elysium Keep

Partially ignoring some stuff from canon because I didn't just want to draw Bodiam Castle but more fantasy, and I feel like having just the keep with a central courtyard doesn't give enough space. Anyway check out this site with a load of castle floor plans i spent so much time looking through these.

The Keep sits on a floating island only accessible by the staircase guarded by the griffin constructs.

There are steep banks at the base of the curtain wall.

The gatehouse is the only entrance, the doors are usually open and the drawbridge lowered, there's a portcullis but it's never lowered. (The scale is a bit off the gatehouse should be bigger)

Neither the watch towers along the wall or the guard house are permanently manned since the Keep is so well protected anyway.

The gatehouse has enough room for about ten people to live there if they run out of space in the Keep.

The training ring is set up between the gatehouse and the keep itself, I headcanon there's some kind of assault course (because why not)

The artificer workshops and smithy are on the east side.

Working off the assumption they have real horses (other mounts are available) there are stables on the West side of the keep and paddocks to the North.

On the East side of the keep there's a garden used for growing food and potion ingredients, a section of it is purely ornamental.

The keep itself has circular towers at each corner, and a central courtyard with a fountain. The SW tower holds the aviary, the NW tower is the Wizard Tower (library, labs, medical wards etc). The Council Chambers are in the SE corner of the keep.

There's a tunnel from the SE tower of the keep (only accessible from the Council Chambers) that brings you to the steps on the outer edge of the island that lead to the dungeon. The steps can also be accessed through the watch tower on the south end of the garden, this door is kept locked. The outer door and steps are disguised with illusions to make them impossible to see if you aren't standing on them.

Morning yoga and meditation classes are held in the keep's central courtyard

Wonka Locations

from this article, and this article.

The Library, where Dorothy Smith (Noodle's mum) lives - Radcliffe Camera, Oxford (a real university library) (Oxford is in the south of England, basically middle of the land in between the bits of land that look like they've had their belt tightened too much).

The bridge that Abigail the Giraffe has to duck under - Hertford Bridge/the Bridge of Sighs, Oxford (again).

The river where the Wonka's lived - Mapledurham, Berkshire (to the left of London, in the middle of the land, on the Thames).

The city's port/lighthouse - Lyme Regis, Dorset (the Cobb specifically i think - southern coast of England, halfway down the wiggly tail looking bit)

Where Willy gives the homeless woman his money, loses his last coin and meets Bleacher and Tiddles - The Colonnade/Parade Gardens, Bath (a bit inland from the start of the wiggly tail bit)

St Benedict's Cathedral (inside only?) (the entrance to the Chocolate Cartel's underground base, where they try to drown Willy and Noodle) - St Paul's Cathedral, London.

Where Larry Chucklesworth does his stand-up and wins back his wife - Rivoli Ballroom, Brockley (London) (inside only)

Slugworth's Office - Eltham Palace, Greenwich (London).

The Zoo where Abigail the Giraffe is (only the lake was used, the rest was built on a set) - Verulamium Park, St Albans (just north of London, if not in London).
