Please tell me this is a full scale RCT2 solo from you.
This is the best work I've seen you do, from all perspectives, architecture, composition, just superb.
My only complaint is the foliage in the back, it seems a bit too random in places, disorganised and chaotic, certain tree choices seem mismatched, and combine this with the jagged landscape it doesn't feel as strong as the rest.
But certainly an incredible screen.
love that archway over the water, so well put together.
So what theme is it?
This is the perfect teaser screen btw I really want to see more of it.
That's ambiguous. Definitely something classical, drawing heavily from Roman architecture, yes, but also Greek and the other civilizations around the Mediterranen. A bit baroque in places, maybe a few hints of Jackson's Middle Earth too... A surreal mix not bound to any specific geographical or cultural boundary.
Gorgeous.
Beautiful screen!
However, I don't like the colour of the flowers, but that's an easy fix.
Good job.
This does seem a bit familiar, like we've seen the whole "large building meets body of water next to entrance path/plaza" from you before. The buildings are different and well-constructed, but there's nothin really new here.
i know its not technically roman but i seriously cant get excited for this general theme anymore.
Compositionally, yeah it's nothing new. Thematically it's not new either. But somehow still feels new and different.
I think maybe it is due to some creative use of objects that we haven't seen done this way before. Those columns, the archways, color usage (white + peach roofs + gold details) and detailing all feel rather fresh in comparison to other roman-esque themes we've seen.
Wow.
Fantastic! Everything looks pristine and grand, and I think the overall colour scheme is excellent too. The pillars, both large and small, look great, and I really like the roof-work with the grey sections at the ends. My only quibble is with the flags, as I think they look rather textureless, But yeah, other than that, a truly awesome screen!
This absolutely nails the feel of a "historic" centered style. While it may not be new in idea as others have mentioned, it has a undeniable feel which is what I love about it. Looking forward to more.
