# 🎨 Noundry: Add Castle Head

*submitted via [Noundry Gallery](https://gallery.noundry.wtf/trait/69862f428383700d259813f4)*

## Summary

This proposal adds a new **head** trait: Castle

Hello everyone, 

This trait is a collaboration between myself, FattyButHappy, and Nadie.

![castle final example](https://images.hive.blog/DQmWZ8q6HoT3N63AVs8MbXCUMu1mBfJwicFgd2SQAwHM6V4/final-castle-1.png)

It started as a re-coloring of sandcastle by Fatty. Changing it from the tan sand color, to a grey castle color:

![OG-Castle](https://images.hive.blog/DQmXPgm7EZzZLjJvNMqSUWDQ9zyPUr6W6VnbvK2F9tREMaa/00.png)

I remixed his creation on Noundry to make it more square like a traditional castle with battlement, flags and draw bridge (flags based on pirate ship):

Nadie saw the potential in this trait and fixed the battlement, giving the outside that classic castle overhang at the top:

We then went back and forth for weeks (months?) with remixes (there must be at least 17 previous versions -- some deleted now):

![all-castles](https://images.hive.blog/DQmXEZA1BtUKsBdQHq14ctBcepZ5kgnK6mYyL4wyaaSfBGP/0-all-castles.png)

I really liked Nadie's v6 of the head and I decided to dive back in and adjust a few elements.. 

Most notably I changed the overhanging battlement a bit more, to give the head a slight turn to the right (the way the noggles are looking), instead of having the centerpoint wider making the head seem more straight-on.

![final remix](https://images.hive.blog/DQmR4ohyhwVkNVoTXhu9Sbg3voXxotNAmZbPMujayt8aA8X/Screenshot%202026-02-07%20at%201.15.26%E2%80%AFPM.png)

I think we've landed on a version that works well for the collection. 

Thank you for the consideration <3

Your bois, Mike, Fatty, Nadie
