The Dark Tower home to the Eye of Sauron

I had a dilemma over what material to use. First thought was obsidian but that'd probably look terrible and take forever. I considered combining hellstone, gravel, cobblestone, and smoothstone to make a really cool realistic one complete with like the side buildings but didnt want to put that much effort into it. Ended up using just slow sand, I like the visual effect upclose and far away that slowsand had on the building.

I'm not particularly happy with how it came out overall. Doesnt look very good. Maybe if I add more features to the tower itself so it doesnt look so plain. I think I'll go back and add different blocks in, add a spiral up the side, generally make it look cooler.

I couldnt find a better placement for it though, between the crests of the valley was awesome; especially with the volcano in the foreground from far away is a powerful visual.

A texture pack with better transparent glass would probably help too.
