Certainly, here is where I will start.

The smaller fern is based on the New Zealand tree fern, as seen in abundance in the movie's Rivendell.

If you look to the about us section, this sentence will appear and this should be taken into account when talking about textures and building "Our community recreates the world of Middle Earth as described by J.R.R. Tolkien's books." This is just a friendly reminder.....

Have you ever seen a fern in England - I heard they were a rare occurrence. =p

Come to think of it, that should be changed. We do base things off of the movies, such as Isengard or, to a degree, Minas Tirith.

Lots of non-lore accurate builds not in the movies either.

Some red bricks, as requested by @wodleth in the Texture Suggestions Thread.

And a download to the .xcf (GIMP) and .svg (Inkscape) so you can look at my process for making textures.

Any suggestions, comments or criticism? Currently I'm trying to fix some tiling errors, there is a dark band that I'm finding hard to get rid of and the colours should be more similar. Also - instead of using this new texture the stone bricks (seen at the top of the screenshot) can be recoloured. However, are they MCME's or Painterly's?

Looks very nice, but it's a tiny bit too purple-ish. I'd like to see it a bit more on the red side.
The small gray bricks you talk about are MCME's, I think Dags made them back when we started Osgiliath

 

[MattTheLegoman]

I'll work on the bricks tomorrow. Creating something similar to Dags' design.

Yet tonight I made a minecraft sphere and put the MCME palantir texture on it.

This is just a recolour of Dag's texture.
