The Callbat Showcase

 The new and improved journal by me, Callbat.

44.gif

I've visited so many cities around the world, and seen so many great city journals on this website that I couldn't resist the temptation to create multiple cities with multiple themes.21.gif

Right now, I've only finished one far enough to put on display........1.gif

Kent

 Inspired by London.

Nice. I've always wondered how did you design a city with dense fog.

    so as to make it seem more like a real city 2.gif

    Great work, Callbat! This looks like your former CJ, very British!

    Although, I suppose the fog makes it even more British, if that's possible.

    Good to see you're back!

    News

    Well due to the current happenings in my life I have put this journal on a hiatus, (I think you've noticed). Eeerm, I've got a job in a quartet now amongst many other activities for both income and pleasure. As a consequence I've almost had no time to log in to Simtropolis or work on Kent for that matter 15.gif

    Hopefully, a new update awaits soon, a full update (more than two pictures in one post 9.gif

    Please do stop by my pub now and then (the Britannia) as it is getting a bit dusty in there 9.gif

    And I hate to post without leaving a picture....so until next time I leave you with this:

    KentCentre-31Mar651211852415.jpg

    Until next time (soon I hope 9.gif)

    Lovely updates Callbat, however mundane the weather looks, the city is incredibly detailed and looks very realistic. I like your use of the diagonal Prepo buildings in Belgravia Square.

    Kent

    Prelude to update two

    (only one picture today, sorry 34.gif)

    [oversize pic deleted]

    The City

     The City is the bustling financial centre of Kent, home to St. Paul's, the Commonwealth Tower (right side of the image) amongst many other fantastic structures, it is a sight not to be missed.

    Only 6,000 souls live here, but during the weekdays literally hundreds of thousands rush into this one square mile to spend their day at the office. It is because of this one square mile that Kent has achieved it's status as an Alpha world city.

    In the next update, we will explore this magnificent place.

    I've redone the whole centre of the city, umm, I'll probably end up re-doing the other bits, too. 9.gif

    Replies,

    Connor: Thank you very much 1.gif

    panthersimcity4: grathiath! 9.gif

    Goin2Chicago: Thank you!

    jacqulina: Thank you very much, usually I find my layouts to be a mess, though 9.gif

    fabsies55: I was afraid I had overdone the photoshopping 34.gif, oh well but thank you for 9.gif

    Twenty20: Thank you, I do aim for Britishness.

    Mike the Mayor: Thanks mate, hehe, you know it's funny because personally I didn't like the prepo diagonals on the image, I thought they broke the flow of the square with the streets 9.gif

    Thanks again mate.

    Thank you all again!

    Please keep checking in for updates 9.gif
