Here it is, my highly-anticipated (yeah right...) NE debut.

Comments and suggestions please.

Screen

I'm pretty sure I fixed the link... Damn I hate webshots.com

I think you need to make your album publicly available, cos at the moment there's no access to it.

Here is another screen. It shows the gallows, which are located in the town square, in front of the chapel.

Gallows


P.S. Does anybody know what I should name this area?

Overload of red.

I think it's pretty good for your NE debut. The dark red with the bricks does not look so good though.. the colors just are not good together. The rusty red may look better.. but add some more colors to it as well. Also, please put dirt or sand under your paths - it really makes parks look 10x better.

P.S. Does anybody know what I should name this area?

I dunno. It kinda reminds me of a revolutionary France (well, at least the gallows in front of the chapel). So unless there's another theme I'm just missing, try some French names out and see how they work.

I think its too happy for an execution area. Cut down on the blood red and maybe put in some grey. Maybe add some brown to the buildings to helps the gallows blend in or add some red around the gallows.

the colors are too clashy in it and you reveal to much in your screenshots

I think the gallows are a nice touch

those white fences dont look good with the rest of it

Hmmm i think there is way too much red but the gallows are pretty cool i suggest adding a tincy bit more colour in there.

This is a lot of criticism for some very good screens. Maybe you guys can think about adding some positive comments with your criticism so the new guy doesn't get the wrong impression. The gallows do look a tad out of place since everything else is so red. A little touch of red on the gallows would help tie it into the section. Even something as simple as a red pole or two would be enough.

I like the trees and flowers you're using. The paths don't seem to fit in my eyes. They're a little too "busy" with that texture. I don't know which path would be better in this case. I would try one of the solid color paths here because of all the building textures. That's up to you though. One detail which you might not think about is the land texture underneath paths. It's subtle, but it does have an effect on the look. Grass under paths is bad, it looks a little sloppy.

The buildings look pretty good. They're detailed and the shapes are varied and interesting. I like the little touches which distinguish each building like the clock tower on one and the hanging tower on another. All very good and consistent. The only other thing that comes to mind is that the trees around the outside of the area look a little sloppy. Use less of the 1/4 tile trees. Instead use some of the shorter rounder trees to fill in the area. It will look better that way, trust me.

These are very good screens. Welcome to NE.

Thanks for all the comments and opinions so far ( thanks Coaster Ed for the words of wisdom). I'll definately consider some your suggestions and make a few changes. More screens coming soon! :scarface:

Can someone PLEASE comment on my work! I started this topic about a week ago and I barely have 10 comments!?! I need attention like a kid with ADD who is on Red Bull!!!

Again, Comments would be appreciated.

^ NICE NICE NICE NICE!!!^

Not sure what most people are thinking really, agreed with Ed. I think these screens are very creative. I love the targets on the hills, those should be nice when theming is around them. The buildings are all different, although the same colour is used, if it's 1 area then I think the red is ok. Brilliant start in my opinion, for a debut this is very good.

Well.. go work on your park a little bit, take a screenshot, post it and you'll see more comments. People just aren't that familiar with your work yet so you need to post consistent screens to get more recognition.

I really like it. Actually I love it. I don't know why, it just fits. The buildings are all different and look great. Like Ed said, dont use so many 1/4 trees and maybe add some different path textures. And like someone stated earlier, it reminds me of the French Revolution...The Reign of Terror comes to mind.

Building was good and plaza

Looks kind of like pooolk's work, except the walls have greater variation.
