The Castle
http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Frank...dern_Prometheus (http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Frankenstein,_or_the_Modern_Prometheus) (Full Book)
Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is a novel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novel) by Mary Shelley (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Shelley). First published in London, England (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London,_England) in 1818 (but more often read in the revised third edition of 1831), it is a novel infused with some elements of the Gothic novel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gothic_novel) and the Romantic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanticism) movement. It was also a warning against the "over-reaching" of modern man and the Industrial Revolution (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_Revolution). (The novel's subtitle, The Modern Prometheus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prometheus), alludes to the over-reaching and punishment of the character from Greek mythology (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_mythology).) The story has had an influence across literature (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literature) and popular culture (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popular_culture) and spawned a complete genre of horror (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horror_fiction) stories and films (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film). Many distinguished authors, such as Brian Aldiss (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Aldiss), claim that it is the very first science fiction (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_fiction) novel.

THE CHALLENGE:
Imagine you have been tasked to do a series of establishing shots for a remake of the Frankenstein movie.
This means that how the environment looks and feels like is key.
In this challenge you may do:
The Castle Detail (You may do the castle tower, or pieces of the castle)
The Castle (You aim to sculpt the whole castle exterior)
The Castle & the Environment (You aim to sculpt the whole castle exterior and the surrounding environment.)
Castle Interior (You may do the castle main chamber, or the doctors lab)
Since this is a MODELING CHALLENGE we will concentrate on creating a realistic 3D copy of this in-famous castle
At the end of the challenge, the participant should have done a finished entry that looks like a representation of he nefarious castle where the mad doctor build the creature. The finished model might be either a realistic entry or a fantasy entry. Keep in mind contest with a short deadline of one ONE WEEK, but the rewards, even if you don't win, will be your improved skills in castle modeling.
And you might see your model animated, if it becomes part of a team entry.
