Casimir: The colours don't work together. It would look great if you used less colours, because the architecture is really cool.

I agree about the colours. Start with changing the gigacoaster on the roof...

veri: Change the green on the coaster to something else. It blends too much.

Only in this crop, trust me. Plus, considering the theme, I can't change its colours too much! ;D

Casimir- What's that green on the diagnal wall rght there.. mold?

It is weathered, yes.

"Graphic novel" is just way of saying "Comic Book".

http://en.wikipedia....i/Graphic_novel

Graphic novels are long-form comics, or collections of comics, or a "one-shot," special edition comic.

Part of the reason people like me are uptight about people who call "graphic novels" "comic books" is the stigma that they should not be taken seriously or that they are child's play. Anyway, it's a perfectly legitimate art form and some of the masters of the form are certainly worth checking out. I don't know how someone can read Watchmen and not be curious to check out more graphic novels.

By the way, Turtle, which Batman graphic novel did you read? I've read most of them - or at least most of the famous ones.

Casimir, it looks pretty interesting, but I don't like how much is diagonal. As a result, there's not much texture and it sort of looks a little blobby. I like some of the ideas, though.

Veri, again it sort of blends in together. Maybe in a more complete setting it won't look so out of place but I think some contrast may help the aesthetics.

Stop calling me 'veri', all of you, there really is a T in my name.


As for the blending; I'm working on breaking it up a bit, both with more contrasting shades and some more colour.

I said verti !!

Calm down veri.

Verily, I will not.

the other thing with graphic novels is that occasionally you get works like Persepolis or Maus or The Buddha (or maybe even Akira?) that tackle serious-business subject matter (most often non-fiction) in long form that you can't justify calling 'comic books'. Graphic novel might not be the best term for these things but given the associations with 'comics' people need a way to differentiate.

Go start a topic about it. And stop making this one go off-topic.

^You started it

Why are those monerails still floating? futuristic theme. yep. that looks too much like a floating monorail vs a futuristic hovercraft.

It's Cowboy Bebop.

^^Did not!

Don't go accusing anyone of starting anything when you DON'T have the facts straight!

Incidentally, I just finished reading a Batman graphic novel. Good stuff.

It's Cowboy Bebop.

U-QFTB entry?

U-QFTB entry?

That it is.

My first RCT'ing in about 5 years. It may be old-school, but that's because *breaks his hip*.

Doesn't look like much of a mongoose yet to me.

Interesting. I like where you're going with this. Alot more foliage will help the atmosphere out.
