Choco, your mosaics never failed to impress me! 44.gif I have to say that those mosaics are the best I've ever come across in Simtrop 9.gif The photos are crisp clear, greeny, peaceful, colourful, majestic, awesome and the list of sweet words goes on 5.gif

Anyway, do you photoshop your images? If you do, what filter do you use? They doesn't seem to be the raw screenshots taken off the game... looks beautifully edited and presented 3.gif

Great work there Choco!

I love the green building, very unique... fits cosily inside Green Depra.

Awesome mosaics... as usual...

But the thing i really took notice of this time was the "Official Seal of Green Depra" at the start of the update... It looks extremely professional and im sure you could/are making a living out of desiging things with photoshop...

Anyway, great work there mate!

EDIT: I am also extremely proud to open another, green filled page of the, one, the only, Green Depra!

WELCOME TO PAGE 53

I tried to make it with a better shade of green, sorry, there aren't many...

Hey choco, I clicked your CJ totally by random... I haven't been here in a while and I love it! Just a tiny suggestion... turn off the wave effect when taking screenshots of rivers (under Graphics settings), unless of course your river is so large that it has tides, or maybe its just really close to the ocean... or maybe there are thousands of fresh water mermaids that constantly pummel the banks with water. 3.gif

Either way, great CJ!

WOW! That looks great! 44.gifI love how you made the industrial area look like it was reflecting sunlight! I take it you used photoshop to do that. It's not a mod is it?

I hope you get better real soon!46.gif

Great update Choco. Its unfortunate to hear that you are under the weather (I'm not to good myself), heres to a speedy recovery. Brilliant images of industry, and I love the bridges.

Looks awesome Chocolatemax. I always find it hard to do industry in a eye-pleasing way, and you have done it beautifully. That bridge looks great too. I've never even seen the piers of that bridge! I also love your shorelines, nice and natural. I'll have to learn to leave more free space between all of my trees... Great work/play.

Also, I hope you are feeling a lot better, and I am looking forward to the next update...

    PERSONAL REPLIES

    vester_DK Thanks! I’m glad you liked the collages and I am feeling better thanks!

    Bat Thanks bat for the comment! Oh and thanks heaps for answering those questions.

    Cityhawk Woah! Congrats, you have almost doubled my post count now! I’m glad you liked it mate, thanks.

    Topcliff That is the Apiatalo by prepo. Yeah, I thought it looked pretty cool, I’ll try and get a few overviews for you! Thanks for the comment!

    Sim shady Hehe, I just love your name! Thanks for the comment, and no, I don’t photoshop the images beyond tweaking the contrast and colours. Cheers!

    GMT Thanks, glad you liked it! Vester has answered your questions, but you can still find the links up the top!

    Leech10 Thanks leech! Yeah, I noticed that too, but there isn’t much I can do short of demolishing the entire bridge.

    Asturianu Hey! Welcome to the CJ! I use the Auckland Water Texture by Timotheus, the link is up the top.

    Aleko Hi! Thanks for the comment, glad you liked it! Oh, and welcome.

    Tommy_Vercetti3 Thanks for stopping by! Cheers.

    Szarkoz That’s an idea, I might do that one day, I haven’t been in those threads in years! I’m glad you liked it, and I must admit I like the contrast tweaking myself. Cheers mate.

    Sanantonio Fuzz filter? Dodge and burn? No, I just tweak the contrast, except in the first photo where I used a diffuse glow filter. Hehe, yeah, Industry being a good sight seems kind of wrong doesn’t it! Thanks for the comment.

    Jacqulina Ah, yeah, you did! Thanks Jacky, its great to see you! What happened to KT3? I haven’t seen her in ages!

    Mightygoose Oh, shucks! Thanks for the comment!

    Tracker Thanks for the comment!

    CDI_spy Ah CDI, you always make me feel great! Hehe, its always good to fool someone that something default is something new! Your gracious words are constantly a pick-me-up! Cheers mate!

    Fredval I use the Aukland Water Mod by timotheus. See up the top for the link, thanks for the comment!

    Terrymunweihao Thanks mate! I appreciate the gracious words. I do photoshop a bit, but I try not to over-use it. I tweak the contrast, brightness and occasionally the colour balance. Cheers mate!

    Owenluby Hey mate! Thanks for opening page 53! Hehe, I thought that shade was great! Yeah, I saw that building and immediately thought of Green Depra! Hey, thankyou, that’s a huge compliment! I was quite happy with that seal, and maybe one day I could try for a job in graphics. I’m glad you liked it!

    patriots_1228 Thanks for the comment!

    Cheese89 89!! Its great to see you! Thanks for popping by, oh and that’s a really clever suggestion, I never even thought of that! You’re right, its not really realistic and doesn’t look quite right on a river. Cheers!

    Goin2Chicago Hey! Thanks for the comment! Glad you liked it!

    Rayden Thanks mate, great to see you!

    Cowcorn I’m glad you liked it Cowcorn, thanks!

    Sim1013 Hehe, no unfortunately its not a mod, it’s the Diffuse Glow effect in photoshop. Thanks for the comment! I hope to see you around.

    Gurrgkud Hey! I think that’s about the best comment anyone can give me, saying it is art. Thank you.

    Wallasey Thanks for the comment!

    ThomasAH Me too! Thankyou.

    Sorchin Ah, my good friend! Its good to know it never gets old, because I do fear that a little! Thanks for stopping by and for the comment. Cheers mate.

    Magpieshooter Thanks! I hope you get better too Mapgie!

    van1357 Thankyou! I’m glad you liked the bridge, the big green one is my personal favorite (surprise, surprise!) anyway, cheers mate!

    Well once again the atmosphere is breathtaking buddy. The moonlight by the shore with the beautiful alien greenish building (can't remember the name of it) is well done. Well thought out...BTW. 53 pages is an amazing accomplishment. Her's to 53 more...
