The white city

well i understood that you dont like it, but its not like i am mapping only for you.
Post automatically merged:

btw i am working on some white walls atm

With repeating my previous message I tried to show you in a friendly way that it feels like you kinda posted the same pieces again. (which you kinda did with minor changes)
Like Blackstone already explained you tried something new the first time and it didn''t felt like a success.... and after posting the "same" images again I don't know what to say.

As long as you like your pieces it's totaly fine.... but.... compared to older pictures you dropped in quality.
 
Honestly, your original white city work was very inspiring and helped me understand architecture when I finally decided to start mapping literally only a month ago. I loved it, and while there was alot that could be improved, such is the nature of all pieces and art in general.

There will ALWAYS be room for improvement, and I do believe that when the masses point out that things are starting to fall short, maybe you should try a new approach? Not hating on your new stuff at all, because funny enough I agree with Neon's post about bring out new aesthetics. It's true, there's some neat ideas there to be learned from and can be expanded on, but truly man, when you mesh too much it becomes beyond abstract.

I respect your attempt but I think you should take the pointers and grab what you learned from the experiment. Maybe try again with more cohesive sprites or a smaller palette? Vanilla or custom, heck, if you want me to recolor and texturize some CiP sprites for you I will! Just shoot me a DM, takes less than half an hour to do! Because I can easily see your latest work being a lot better if the color schemes were more complimentary instead of overly contrasting.

You're a good mapper dude, keep it up and I hope to see more variety from you in the future
 
Okay, i am back to my white city. Hope to finish it in few years.

Now this is the shit that people wanted to see man. Not that it's back to your white city, but your skill is shining again.

With boats for sure, maybe play around with diff docks to make them less run down and more regal/classy like the rest of the city? My thoughts.

Looks epic as fuck though and I'm hyped to see more my dude!! 👌

Thanks for feedback, but what do you mean with diff docks? different docks?

Yeah sorry. My slang is too alien for people, I keep forgetting 😂

Exactly, try upgrading the docks so they look the same type of wealth as the rest of its surroundings. As they are right now they're kinda like slums docks (in my personal opinion only). Could just be me but I'm trying to picture different ideas and I think they could work
 
Okay, here is the last one for today. In the coming days I ll post more. And later I will show you the overview over the city.... trust me... its god damn huge.... and still not finished.

And please click on the pic, cuz they are always somehow not "sharp".

Btw, I lend this "statues+pillars+grass+trees" structure from Shirako, hope he doesnt mind it!
 
Okay, I have added some buildings north and west from the market. Some are copy pasted, some are new, but i ll post both anyway, cuz I think the atmosphere is amazing. Just imagine you would live in such an area? Majestic european style buildings, you can hear a river flowing nearby, few people are going on the streets, not too much, not too crowded, not too noisy, but also not completly empty. Some children are playing football, some elders are sitting outside drinking tee. You can hear muffled speech coming from a little market and cafe nearby, but its also not too loud. The weather is hot, you dont want too move, you just sit it on your balcony and look at the streets or over a sea of blue roofs to the horizont.... Damn isnt it awesome?

And dont forget the statues....they are watching at you silently, when you look away. And at night they wake up and walk through the streets and on the roofs. So at night, when you hear "tok tok tok tok" over you, then it might be a statue walking on your roofs. Or if you wake up at night and look out of your window and see a lonely person walking slowly down below you on the street, then it might be one of those statues. And maybe the statue will stop, the dim light of the street lantern will start to flicker and then go ou, then the statue will slowly turn its head in your direction and look directly in your eyes, but you wont be able to see anything in its face, because its so dark, notheless you will know that its looking at you with its grey eyes!

Working on this atm. This is just a half of a new street i am currently making. I will show you the whole piece when its finished.
I think this is the best faccade i have created so far.... Just searching for a proper ground/decorations to make it look good. Still dont know whether to add water or just make a normal street.

Btw, I think the giant pillars make it look more like rennaissance, dont you think?

The architecture is just amazing! In that part it would be great a greenery to put some color variation and to make it more "alive".

Yes, it would definetly look very asthetic and give it a "happiness" vibe, but i mapped the rest of the city either in swampy style to give it a more decadent/melancholic look or sand style, cuz i lacked alternatives. i cant put much green stuff here, cuz it simply wont fit the rest :/

Well, maybe you could add some plants with a dark and/or pastel color to maintain the main feeling of your city. Furthermore, a garden without maintence - and with dead plants - should do the trick aswell. Looking forward to see this piece complete!
 
I really wanted to create this "big busy, noisy city" feeling. What do you think, does it look like one?

I dont why, but the first pic looks somehow "pale" and without much sontrast, i dont know why my screens are like this sometimes... :/ click on it for better quality.

I think that because of the walking citizens, merchants and visitors of the city, the streets look a big over detailed.
The street also goes further east, but the details arent finished there yet :/ I really takes time for me to make all those details.

What do u think, would u like to live in such city?
