What the fuck dude. This is so awesome. I love the supports, and I love the theming. However, they don't mesh. The supports distract from the theming and I think you might be better off with more conventional supports and default supports and let the awesome ideas like the Set statue, the giant obelisk, and the graveyard columns shine. Actually it's mostly Set that just blends into the background as a result, but still I think you should tone down the supports.
I think the footers just dominate everything, moreso than the supports. I think coming up with something smaller would open it up / give you room for better things. Looks cool.
i had a flyer a few years back that i only released a couple screens of, mostly unthemed but as far as rct goes, i was more proud of the support work than anything i had done. if I must say so myself, they were beautiful, as good as LL supports will get.
now if only I could find em...
if anybody has it saved it'd be Liampie, but I doubt it. it was an off-green flyer with white supports and go-karts below em.
i also posted a screen not too long ago of a black invert with custom supports if you wanna look it up. it'd be interesting to see a new/better take on em.
edit: the only screen on my profile is an example, hahaa. and it doesn't show much.
@RMM: Thanks for the heads up. I'd actually looked at that screen along with Raven for ideas for the custom supports a while back.

You're right, but choice is limited. What do you think could work better?
A slice of observation tower/drop tower can work as a footer. But it may also be possible to use solid looking cars such as the steel wild mouse or mine carts as footers. I'd definitely try obscure the footers with foliage in places.

The supports are definitely too much in places, but still its decent work.
I think with these sorts of supports it has to be perfect because otherwise, like I said, it becomes too much.
I also think some of the other codex is too forced, becoming too detailed for what you want, it could easily be much simpler.
Lovely fiesta though, didn't think I'd see anything like this from you, could do with your help on some of my work lol

I also forgot to say, that egyptian statue you've done for the ride entrance is just incredible. so recognisable but so simple.

This is ingenious work that suffers from being too cramped to appreciate.

Essentially my opinion as well, give it a bit of breathing room, change the black to white or dark purple and it will be perfect.

The supports are definitely a bit overwhelming. The station's a bit weak too, not solid enough I feel.

Jes, I have never seen so many custom supports in LL!

I hate to bump this but I just came across and damn it's great.
