B-E-A-utiful! Just one thing: I think the paths shouldn't be so squished together, or at least they shouldn't look like they are. Wonderful Kraken-work. I'm excited to see how this one turns out. The landscaping looks great too.

It's nice, but a bit overcrowded.

I don't like the contrast between the "spanish" stuff and the "egyptian" stuff...

Just me though, I do however, like the cramped feel, just as long as you can see every bit of those buildings.

The architecture at the bottem there is to cluttered. Honestly though the rest is quite good. I can see why Iris picked you over other eligable parkbuilders in the 2rd round of the H2H3 draft...

Hopefully you can keep modivation high through those parks too.

Back to this, the colors are classy, the landscaping is good and rugged... I love that train station built into the hill too, beautiful. You may be my favorite up and coming parkmaker, if you can hold it together (which would be wonderful).

the train station kicks.

I see Foozy in the arcitecture...

...that's a good thing. I like it, alot. Detailed, crowded (I like crowded, as long as it isn't messy), and purdy... Perfect.

Impp!ossi!ble

I don't really like it. It seems Fooz influenced, but lacks the character and charm of Foozy's work. It just seems like you piled detail on for the sake of having it, but not to achieve a specific atmosphere. You definitely have some talent for putting objects together in interesting ways, but there's just no feel to the whole thing. It all turned out kind of overcrowded and a bit ugly to be honest.

The architecture looks way to crammed in together.

always did love this kind of work but i know your style is like that but imo it is a little too over crowed.
but otherwise very nice.
hope to see more of the mine train.

Um i dont like it at all, all the buildings are way too crowded, over detailed and look too much like foozy`s work.

Also the landscaping where the mine train comes out imo there is too much vertical face.

Good to something from you though.

to crowded!!! but the idea is great!

i fully agree with: nemesis chris

Well, I like the concept. But the buildings are too close together and to the path - consequently it's often hard to see which building some of the scenery belongs to. Nevertheless, I think it would look awesome if a little more spaced out and I really like the train station so far.

Thank you for the honest replies everyone.

Ok, I changed a lot of things in this screen based on what you guys said. I decided to take out the center building in the lower portion of the screen. I did think it looked great there but then I started to see how it was way too crowded. I didn't get rid of all of it, but I made it a lot smaller. After doing that, the area looks way more spaced out since there isn't three buildings right next to each other.

The entrance area is almost done. So a completed screen of this will be up eventually.

Does anybody know any good image hosting sites? Asperix's site is currently under construction...and iownjoo doesn't work right now either. I really don't want to use webshots.

Apparently, Chapel has made a hosting service, and since he has been very public about it, I assume he doesn't mind if us NE-ers use it.

Thanks to Chapel+

Now, get these sexy pics up for us.

i can't upload any pics i take in LL to his thing. it's a jpg file. i was able to upoad an rct2 screen, though.

edit: never mind. it worked.

Hey guys up until recently there was a bug in the coding that would allow the uploading of images with Non-Caps extensions but not caps ones such .JPG which may have been your problem but thanks to steve for bringing it to my attention it has been fixed. If you continue to have problems just IM me and I will see if we can get it worked out.

I've started a new entrance to the park. It looks a lot better than the older one. Its still got a detail/clutter look to it, but that is a style that I would like to get better at. If done correctly, it can make a great atmosphere.

P.s. - Thank you chapel for the hosting service, and thanks slob for pointing it out.
