(Archive) Advertising District / Arowana

I know wat you're thinking..."Oh god, Marshy's back, and he'll have quit again in a couple of months time".
Well sir, not this time. I've realised why i kept loosing interest, the reason was that i kept making stuff in more or less the same style. By not trying new things, i got bored easily.

So now i'm back, and now i'm taking my time with everything, thinking it over, and really going for it.

You are probably waiting for a screen, well it's coming, don't worry.

It's a design entry, which i shouldn't really advertise, but i wanted to because i want to remind everyone that i'm still here. It's a woodie, which has a name (which i won't say because it will most probably change ).

Oh, its sorta asian, and i like ferns. (The water is coming from an underground river, which floods every so often, which explains the overgrown-ness)

feedback plz.

Edit: oh yeh, this screen doesn't show the coaster, this screen is of a couple of buildings that the peeps can walk around....

looking nice, marshy. i'm not sure what to say, though. it's a great screen but it seems as if something is missing. maybe a different color, i don't know. or flowers, maybe. either way, this is great, quality work. keep it up.

oh, also, maybe you could hack an invisible path over those wood planks to make it seem as though the path is connected and the guests can go on there.

ps show the coaster. ;P

The use of those mini-arches in that screen is awesome, and one of the best ways I've seen them put to use ever. Great job breaking up the somewhat bland color choices with the waterfalls going through it all.

I wish you completed the screen though, I hate incomplete screens, esp. for a design.

"you'll have quit again in a couple of months time".

You advertise a design, and dont even show the coaster

Too brown

That's what your toilet said last night.


Wait, that wasn't funny...

Anyway, like I mentioned last night, it's pretty nice, except for those waterfalls to the left which look way too turbulent considering they don't really have a source. Gives an unnatural feeling that most people would feel but not be able to explain.

i don't like the green in the architecture
but i don't know which color to choose instead of that green.

Your focus should be on the coaster.. And then build around it..
Now it seems like it's gonna be a mini park, with a coaster somewhere..

The building looks nice and complex though..

SF

Its not really Asian themed is it, else it would look like Birmingham.

Adonis, i know what you mean....

Marshy, i actually quite like it. The archy is well constructed, but it definitly does not scream the japanese theme. Maybe some bonsai foilage or more oriental objects placed would convince me. Nice screen!

-X-

I think you might know how I feel about the screen Marshy. I'll be honest.

The buildings are nice, but I don't quite see the Asian theme, nor any other refined idea other some nice buildings and landscaping. Its fundamentally a solid screen, but just lacks for me in the theming category. It presents nothing new, imo.

Don't get me wrong though.
I'd much rather see you finish this than quit again.

Nothing screams "ASIAN!" But, maybe that's a good thing.

The brick archways, with the water underneath, look really good. The wooden balcony/walkway isn't my thing. Maybe it's just the angle the screen was taken at? It looks so large and boring.

hmm... It's certainly the most interesting thing I've ever seen from you. I'm only vaguely catching the Asian style though, to push the theme a bit more it would help to have eves that continue off the sides of those 2X3 bits, like what's commonly seen on Pagoda's (for example).

I'm not sure of I like the pathing you used either in this instance, however I'm not sure what to recomment either... Maybe dirt of some kind? I really don't know. Oh and much of that look like it should be accessible to the peeps via invisible pathing so I recommend that you do that as it would look fantastic if you deceded to open it.

Thanks,

Progress is slow, not much time.



Marshy

It looks great, but for some reason i feel it lacks a certain something. Nice forms though.

Honestly, I so want to say this is amazing, but part of me can't help but think I've seen this type of parkmaking churned out a million times before. :/

The foliage is top notch though and adds tons to the atmosphere. I am anxious to see the finished product nonetheless.

Decide on whether it's destroyed or not, since it looks like you're too much doubting between that at the moment. I see a destroyed roof, but also buildings that seem to have no harm from the regular floods (as you stated before). Maybe make all the houses damaged, or none.

It does look good.

OMG THER IS A COASTER!!

Foilage is good as said, only thing i'd say change is delete the windows that are half covered by rooves.

And why are you playing in dollars? lol

looks good but not special... don't know why...
