thundercrack83  - Thank you very much. I hope you like this too.

rooker1 - Thanks. I like to try out different things in photoshop and I'm glad you like it.
I hope you get what you're looking for with this update :)

callbat - Wow, those are some kind words :) Thank you

squidi - Thanks. I totally agree about the water. That's just me experimenting :) I've yet to find the perfect look.
Although pretty much anything is better than the in-game water :)

bat - Thank you very much

star.torturer - Thanks, it's much appreciated.

warconstruct - Thank you, no need to be impatient any more :)


Update 3:

I got some requests after my last update, namely by our friend robin :), and I'll do my best to oblige.
These pictures are all of the city of Sala (still, I'm only working on that city at the moment) and show some new developments and the area around the railroad tracks.
No more pictures of the train station itself, yet...

Enjoy!



Overview of the curved rail and some new residential buildings to the north.



This newly developed area is the most dense in the city, so far anyway. I guess you could call it downtown.



The city so far.



Nothing new here really. Was going for an evening sun feeling.

squidi

great new pictures and now i like the water much more  :thumbsup:

thundercrack83

I love the way you've laid out the railroads, my friend. The NAM rail curves look great, as do the rest of your pictures! Your Photoshop skills are amazing!

I'll be looking forward to your next update!

Dustin

rooker1

Thanks for fullfilling my little request.  ;) Great pics.  I love the rail curves and the use of Buddybud's pieces.  Your PS skills always amaze me.
I, too, look forward to your next update.
Robin  :thumbsup:

Very very nice pictures you have there, bigberta! Also great area around the train station! And the railways are looking fantastic, too! The water is looking beautiful! :thumbsup: Looking forward to more... ;)

thundercrack83 - Thank you, gotta love the NAM curves.

rooker1 - Happy to oblige :) Thanks

bat - Thank you very much


Update:

Well it's not really an update, it's actually a teaser. Sala keeps crashing on me, so I've moved on to create a new city. It's still very much european, but this one has some tall buildings, some of which can be seen in this teaser.
I'll have a proper update ready in a few days, hopefully...

Enjoy!



bat

That night shot is looking great! And wonderful use of these buildings! Nice rain effect, too!

callbat

Excellent job in your last update I especially enjoyed the picture with the train station.

Ooh I love the post-production on the imagery. Not to mention the eyecandy itself!  :thumbsup:

It's been a while but here I am.

New city; inspired by Paris this time. The city is called Debonair. Enjoy!



Teaser:

nedalezz

I like it alot! Cant wait to see what the rest of Debonair looks like :)

Its good to see you back in action.

rooker1

I agree with nedalezz. 
Perfectly setup, very nice scene and not too much photoshoping.   
I hope you enter this one in the SC4 Picture Contest.  ;)
I can't wai to see more of this beautiful city.
Robin  :thumbsup:
Call me Robin, please.

The name of the city has a sleezy ring to it - but the picture is very nice.... so much details you put in there - just excellent.  :satisfied:

nedalezz - Thank you, it's good to be back.

rooker1 - Thanks. I might enter it in the contest, but I'll probably pick something else :)

sebes - Thank you. Don't like the name, huh? I chose it mainly because of the people who live in the city could be described as debonair; of good lineage or disposition. They would have to be to afford to live in one the extremely expensive city :)

thundercrack83 - Thank you, it's good to be back.

Pat - Thank you very much.


Update:

A showcase of different parts of Debonair, enjoy.


The canal was originally built to protect the central parts of the city from intruders. Several parts has since been covered by roads and avenues, but this part of the canal still looks like it did a hundred years ago.



The world famous Moulin Rouge.



This square was once an important market, not anymore though...



This is the busiest avenue junction in the entire city. It's located in the north western part of the city.

Update 7:

Hey, thanks for the comment CabraBuitre, It was my favorite pic too.
Everybody else... come on!  ;) You can do better. Comment! Constructive critisism is always welcome.


Now for some more pics of Debonair.



Early morning in Debonair




This is the Haussmann canal featured in the previous update. This time at night.




The area around Oliver circle to the north east.




The same area at night.




Lousy weather in a typical Debonair neighborhood.




Bellevue was built in the sixties. It is located where the dense Haussmann style city ends in the north. Here seen facing south.


Thats it for this time. And for the love of God, comment!  ;)
