Repeat pics? I don't have a problem with that, it looks good. That's funny, I actually used the same shot (traffic was slightly different each time, and one was at night) for a whole update in my CJ. And somehow it was the most popular episode (based on replies generated). But enough about me... I am loving the slow build up of this story, great stuff.

    Tomson Towers, one of Gotham's finest apartment towers is located in an affluent corner of downtown Gotham. Its penthouse apartment belongs to that of Henry Claridge, a man known for his priceless collection of jewelry and diamonds...


    Insane Child of Bodom: Well I suppose he is. 2.gif

    Godzillaman: Well that's the suspense of it... 

    GreekMan: What repeating pics? 38.gif

    tomdapom: Thanks! Have you seen my review of Hustle? 2.gif

    jacqulina: Thanks, jacky. 

    Benedict: No, the repeating pics were an issue which I fixed (duplicated pages of the same sequence appeared), but I edited it in time. There was no way which you could've seen it. I don't know what you're reffering to in your post. Thanks for the comment anyway. I just might just try that traffic strategy which has worked for you so well! 3.gif

    Giligone: I think someone slipped something stronger in his drink...

    Tomson tower is probably the best NDEX high rise residential building made. The others are good, but this is the best. The robbery sounds interesting...my guess is as good as anyone else's: not very accurate...

    Excellent night shot, it looks stunning. The trees around the sidewalk by the tower look great. I can't wait for more!

    A jewelry heist at the top of Tomson Towers catches the attention of the Dynamic Duo. However, a Robin is realizing that he can no longer fly...

    -Glenni's Batmobile makes its first appearance! 9.gif


    suplado: Thanks!

    Godzillaman: I disagree. I really don't think this is the best NDEX building, though it is a damn good one. DT and Co. have made some better art-deco skyscrapers and contemporary towers, but it's all a matter of personal preference. 

    And no one's guess is ever accurate! 3.gif

    BubbaGump: I'm glad you think so!

    penguin007: Nightlighting is an important aspect of this CJ. I tend to surround the main focus of my pictures with skyscrapers that have good lighting. 

    Giligone: Really? It does work either way, though. 3.gif

    ky72x: Well those trees are part of the tower itself, so I can't really take credit for it. 2.gif

    Read the whole thing. Only took 3 days! Awesome work - I'm totally hooked. The building matching is astounding. The police station showed pretty early was such a perfect match to the SC4 one that Maxis may have used it as their inspiration for it. Just too perfect. And an idea, I notice the little green diamond above cars when you use the UDI to make shots. Why not take a second pic of the area and photoshop the green dot out with the blank shot? It'd work and be easy, and more polish is always good. This is great. So Robin's debut wasn't too spectacular. And I too am looking forward to the movie - Begins was awesome, this will be great as well. By the way? When are you going to do the Joker? PS: Just curious? How long does an update take? Well worth the time spent for sure.

    Yikes...that could have been a real sour pickle...14.gif

    The angles of the building looks very good. Just one Q, do you use the new night night mod?

    Batman investigates the cause of the mysterious fear-induced panic attacks, and comes to a frightening conclusion--the involvement of the Scarecrow. But where IS he?  


    flame1396: Three days only? See, it wasn't that long...2.gif But thank you for taking the time to read the entire thing--even I'VE tried it and failed! You also bring up the old police station. Yeah, it does look awfully similar to the Maxis version. Too bad Batman Begins was released two years after SC4. Vise-versa maybe? 2.gif 

    As for the green-diamonds--well, I've become attached to the them over time. 3.gif And when I show traffic shots, I want to specify exactly WHAT car is involved in the scene. 

    Robin's debut may not have been spectacular, but you'll see--he gets better without the influence of fear-inducing chemicals...

    I too am looking forward to the next installment of the franchise. Begins is in my top ten favorite movies. The next one looks to be better! And I'll be showing a Joker storyline in about two weeks. Hang in there!

    Btw, each update takes about 30 minutes and an entire storyline takes a week. Now multiply that 358976569468 44.gif

    Giligone: Aw, give the kid a break. He's been drugged for God's sake! 3.gif

    GreekMan: It is indeed called Tomson.

    Flying_Scarecrow: You've arrived just in time. 2.gif 

    tomdapom: Without the influence of fear-inducing drugs, Robin is a pretty strong supporting character.2.gif

    Benedict: 44.gif

    tohokingdom: This is my favorite Robin as well. He's mature, his costume is great, and the colors are darker and more toned down. Awesome!

    jacqulina: Thanks, haven't seen you in a while!

    Godzillaman: I've seen the new nightmod in action, but I thought it was too dark. Who knows, though. I might try it out.

    As I was reading this, I could completely hear the dialogue from the show.

    I love memory, it's such an amazing thing.

    Begins using an SC4 building? Yeah right. Odd coincidence I guess - or was it?

    And just 30 minutes?! Thats far faster than I guessed. (2 hours) Considering one space art piece takes me 4 hours average.

    What a twist! A very informative update. I particularly liked the captions when he's walking through the Arkham hallway. Escalation!
