[kacey]

I really like this, I was hoping someone would make a zoo, And the concept here is great, really fun.

I'm enjoying the texture so much - more!

Welcome neighbour ! I have just put your map onto the overall map (to upload shortly) and its looking good so far. I like that you have the colours of the water ready to blend in. Our little jigsaw there should be well matched up. A zoo sounds like fun !

The details are amazing: it looks like Chinese porcelain !

Thank you for the comments.

Im posting another little update with my experiments on shading, texturing and blending the water corner. A lot of your maps with the limestone sunken lakes look amazing. Since I've never even tried a top down like this before I am experimenting a lot and trying to find a style I like to emulate that Limestone river sink look.

Not happy with my transition to water here, it looks too straight and non-organic so I have to play with that more. Any tips appreciated (using PS btw)!

Thanks to Mouse for limestone texture to play with.

Made the basic platform for the mega jungle exhibit. Basically several squares acres with 100 ft high canopy. Giant humanoid size 'hamster tubes' provide a massive winding network through the jungle. Only the main glass enclosed tubes are depicted but dozens of smaller side tubes branch off some of which are difficult 75 foot climbs high into the canopy that allow unprecedented observation of this massive rainforest jungle recreation that includes Golden Gibbons, Silver Pandas, Grape Apes, numerous snakes reptiles and rare birds and more.

I reworked the worker slums with my own original straw house designs and keep trying to blend the limestone geography but not happy with the cliffs and lake yet.
