    It looks really good JKay. I like the architecture. I think you should use the wood poles some in there...and some flowers...and I think the tree selection could be a bit better.

    JKay for parkmaker! That's the best try at China themeing I have ever seen. :|''''

    This makes me smile.

    It's a whole new style that will start Jkay's revolution.

    China
    Posted Image

    I'm still working on the coaster in this section.  It will be a floorless named Han Dyansty: Fuxi's Legend.  Here is the theme background:

    Fuxi is the legendary god in the mythology of ancient China. He is also called Taihao or Taihao Fuxi. Legend says, by imitating the spider, he created a net to catch fish and animals. He invented the musical instrument, Se, a plucked instrument with 50 strings, and constituted the Eight Diagrams used in divination. He married his younger sister, Nvwa, and started the reproduction of offspring one generation after another. Thus they became the ancestors of the Chinese.

    In the Han Dynasty (206 B.C. - 220), they were carved on stone as figures with both human heads and bodies of the snake. They are human-shaped from the waist up, but are snake-like below. The lower bodies are entangled together with each other.


    I will be posting a screen of the coaster in the next day or two, so stay tuned....

    Its on the new page for you.

    I love it. The way you have used the pagoda? building on top of your own made looks cool, making good use of the origional scenery. The only thing i dont like(much) are the 2 rounded towers, i think they look out of place compared to the rest of this screen. Maybe its just to roof colour though? Theres a nice variation on the upper left of the screen, but its all pink/peach on the right.

    I cant wait to see you coaster, i know thats what your mostly working on :)

    The two pagoda buildings are awesome. But if you take them out of the screen... other "errors" start to come through... the bareness of the building top right, there's some nasty under-path grass, the paths themselves are somewhat chaotic, and the foliage isn't great - personally I wouldn't use the tall palm tree or the fuzzy green tree for this theme. Like your other work, it's JKay style, which is cluttered but full of character. Personally, I'd space it out a bit - more foliage by the paths, wider paths, etc. Squares can be left blank ;)

  • guljam%s's Photo
    WOw that is amazing!

  • Micool%s's Photo
    Well guljam...nothing seems to be sacred. I'm sure someone will color it for you :(

    Jkay you have so much fun when you build. It's so bright and colorful, but so easy to look at. Even with those horrible paths. I love it.

    I love that screen JKay, it is by far, the best archy that you've ever built. But as Deano. said, the building on the top right misses something but its hard to divert your eyes from the pagoda building to notice it anyway. Apart from that, the screen is almost perfect. Great work.

    I like the two pagodas but the rest of the screen doesnt impress me atall.

    Its too bare and looks sqaushed together.
  • guljam%s's Photo

    Well guljam...nothing seems to be sacred. I'm sure someone will color it for you :(

    yup.. 8-)
  • Marshy%s's Photo

  • posix%s's Photo
    Fits the theme perfectly.
    Very well done.
  • super rich%s's Photo
    Great China area, amazing work.
    I like the use of art and deco and just the simplist of scenery. =)
  • Six Frags%s's Photo

    UPDATE: Shown here is the the jagged waterline of Ancient China with the coaster Han Dynasty: Fuxi's Legend (floorless) interacting with the architecture. I will show one more screen of Fuxi's Palace and Chinese ruins area in the next day or so. Enjoy!

    the top part of the coaster looks great, the bottom is really bad tho. never do that with diagonal track. and the themeing looks good. work on that coaster a bit, and keep it up.
  • guljam%s's Photo
    :OMG: THAT IS FU*KIN' GREAT
    I LOVIN IT!
    PERFECT COLOR ??? AND SOME DETAILS.. :)
  • artist%s's Photo
    I really liked the first screen of China but this one has changed my mind about what i think of this area.

    The buildings are just too random and imo you have got alot of the colours wrong.

    Coasters looks good though.
  • deanosrs%s's Photo
    The coaster does look a bit off, as Kumba said. When I build them, I always try and make it look as though the coaster is one continuous track, rather than lots of pieces put together in rct2. I rarely succeed, but I find it a good rule to go by :it:

    It's nice to see you give yourself more room. I think the foliage needs to be more dense though for this theme, and for the way the buildings are built with such rich colour schemes.
