Here we go again,
I have the attention span of a 4 year old, but I'm back again. :)

This will strictly be eyecandy so don't expect a great story - I just want to share my creations and hear your opinions.



These first pictures were taken in the European city of Sala and they showcase some of my recent experiments with Photoshop.
Please let me know what you think about the effects, and the pictures in general.

Yes, very beautiful effects there with photoshop!
Great work on Sala! The second picture is looking fantastic (of course others, too!)!

Looking forward to more random eye candy, bigberta!

How could I go past an MD called 'Random Eyecandy'!
That Photoshoping is seriously good and the city building is top shelf too- I'll be watching this one for sure! The way you've set out the town just looks so realistic.  &apls

Top notch as usual.  :thumbsup:

The photoshopping is very original. I like the effect you used on the buildings.

TheTeaCat - Thanks. Glad you like the effects. Hehe I guess they really like to play basketball :)

bat - Kind as always :) Hope you'll like this update too.

Cockatoo-210893 - Hehe I know, it makes you curious doesn't it?  ;) Im glad you like the layout of my city and not just the photoshopping. Thanks

Mulefisk - Thank you very much, I'd like to think so too :)




Update 1:

I've always wanted to post a mosaic and now that time has come.
The mosaic features my attempts to create water effects. I must say that Im not completely sure about them, but it's the best I can do :)
Let me know what you think.

Really superb this mosaic  &apls &apls

very beautiful Germanic style, the batches of marrast are very well used !
The effect to bring to the image is very successful, I congratulate you  ;)

I am impatient to see your update 2 .

 &apls And what a fantastic first mosaic it is bigberta.  The more I see euro-style development, the more I like it.  The water effects are cool, the only thing is that the light looks like it's coming from under the water and not from the moonlight.

Very nice bigberta, the image manipulation is superb.  :thumbsup:

I also like the fact that unlike most plopped cities your city has life to it,

How do you achieve the fog bigberta? I am very interested in knowing how you do this.

Spectacular pictures there  &apls

superhands

I take it you have photohop? :P
w2w development is unique and so is the pavement.
I like how this is shaping up bigberta!

First of all, thank you. I'm glad you like my pictures.
The fog was created using photoshop. I just added a layer and rendered some clouds on it. (filter/render/clouds)
Then I just set the layer blending option to one that looks good. Finally I adjust the opacity of the layer to make it look more natural.

if you have any more questions just pm me and I'll try to answer them.

bat

That mosaic is looking very great, bigberta! Great development on that area of your nice city! ;) :)

callbat

Thank you very much Bigberta, I'll try to keep up with all of your updates!

warconstruct - Thank you. Your wait is over now :)

blade2k5 - Thanks. I agree about the water. I'm not completely satisfied with the look. Tell me what you think about the new pictures.

bighead99999 - :) yes I have photoshop, and I like it very much. I'm glad you like my pictures, thank you.

bat - Thanks buddy.

callbat - Glad to be of assistance.


Update 2:

More of the same... I hope I'm not boring you with my w2w pictures, but they're my favorite kind :)
The city of Sala is coming along nicely as I will try to demonstrate with this update.

Enjoy!




The tunnel entrance to the other side of the bay



Lousy weather in the same part of town



More rain :)



This time it's sunny

warconstruct

Very beautiful it works is really splendid and realistic  &apls

I like much the effects brought to the images, especially that of the rain.
The tunnel is him also very an good idea, especially that to cross the rivers in this manner is not always amusing !

impatient to see some more  ;)

Wonderful new work on the W2W!!! Fantastic pictures of it!!! :thumbsup:

squidi

again some very good pictures from you. i also like the curved rails and the rain looks very real.
the way you photoshoped the water is a thing i do not really like. i think its a way the water would look like in a closer view

excelent work &apls

Another splendid update, you continue to amaze me!

All three updates are fantastic.  Your Photoshopping skills are great and I wonder what that effect is, as I am not very good at PSing. 
Do you think for the next update we could see some more of that train station and some higher over all views of the areas you have completed, please.
