The Impact of Proportion & Scale/ Colossal Statues

All three of these Castles are colossal, I feel that for a level having the architecture way out of proportion to the character would make for such a more dramatic atmosphere as it does in these images. The idea of having gigantic statues supporting the architecture (see right hand image) really excites me and i'm thinking of incorporating it into my castle. Either that or like the image to the left where the statues appear to be acting as guardians of the castle entrance. Gothic architecture often incorporates statues as well as gargoyles. I would quite like to experiment with stylising statues and gargoyles, perhaps in a Tim Burton kind of style.
