Art128's SC4 Projects

It's snowing!  I really like the snow covered trees.    Great work Arthur.. 

[Sciurus]

As I said you on TSC, the snow effect is really nice, but when it's on the floor, the effect is not as nice it should be (I hope it's comprehensible )

I love the snow Arthur. Very nice job. The mosaic prior to that was fantastically dreary with the rain.

It's been a while since my last update eh ?
As I already said in the Show us your current project thread, I lost the old region file, I dunno how but it seems that my computer is hating me and getting old.. Anyway, if everything goes correctly I'll get my new computer (a tower this time, no more laptop  ) tomorrow at my birthday.
But, i've already started a new region, which is an almost accurate recreation of the area of Magadan, Russia. I've started developing the capital city, which is named Vratska now, and the second city, with the nuke power plant, is almost done.. Well the nuke power plant, I still have to do the city itself.. Which will be based on Kilinino, same street placement and same blocks.. But this time the city is named Nazran..
If you didn't noticed, almost all the new cities name are based on a video game (on PS2) , are you able to guess it ?
Okay this was for the news, now a little history of the capital city, which is the main and only subject of the update.

Vratska is the capital of the Svanskinahya republic. The city is located on the Xander Bay, at south of the region. When the city started growing, it was almost a small fisherman town, with a population of 200 inhabitants only. At that time the city was a good place to live in. Magadan, as it was named first, was created in 1320 by the local population of the Kirniv village, who needed a port for their fishing.

When Lenin comes here, he decided to transform the small pleasant town, to a big Gulag where political jailers will do their pain. Rapidly, in 1934, the town started changing the shapes to become a big, industrial Gulag. A lot of works were done here and there to make that city the best example of USSR Gulag.

Later, When the USSR fell down, the oblast of Magadan takes it independence and became a Socialist republic. The capital city, Magadan, took the name of vratska, name of the actual president.

Today, the city is one of the main financial district of the geographical area. With its international port, for freight and passengers, and the international airport, Vratska have a nice place in the international commercial sector. The city attracts many company who stands in the city, now.





This mosaic show the port are by night.




In this mosaic when can see the Kremlin.

Super!

[ecoba]

As Bobbi said, Super update, Arthur!

I was sad to know that your old region file got destroyed, but it's okay, we all need a new start some time or another. Happy early birthday!

These docks are so beautiful, and so very industrial; they remind me of Robin (rooker1)'s work over in MindScape. The way that the rail lines converge on that container dock is just eyeboggling, and I really wish I could do something like that.

[Battlecat]

Looks great!  Sorry to hear about your lost region file, that always hurts.  Great photoshop work on this update. 

[Earth quake]

It's just a "magnifique" update, bravo !! 
The port is just fantastic and the Vratska's Kremlin is beautiful
Finally, The place behind the port terminal is nice.

[kbieniu7]

Loosing region can be harmful. Hopefully, I've never lost mine. But don't worry, you will build new, much better. Just remember about creating backups
Also Happy Birthday Arthur! Much luck and whatever you want, I'll sign under it 

And about update - I really like Kremlin. It's simple-planned and this looks the best in it   

[djvandrake]

Happy Birthday! 

The Kremlin looks quite impressive in the setting you've created.

[io_bg]

First of all, Happy birthday!

The new region is looking great! The port and it's surroundings are pretty nice as well And the photoshoppigs really makes your Kremlin mosaic look like it's winter.

Keep up the great work!

[dsrwhat316]

Happy Birthday, Arthur! 

Sorry to hear you lost your region; I know what that's like  . It looks like you're off to a nice start with your new region. I especially like the seaport. Just one question: where did you get the building with the dual helicopter pads in the 4th and 5th pic? I'd really like to use that one myself. Good luck with this region and don't forget to make backups regularly!

Very nice city and nice photoshopping my friend!

[calibanX]

Great photoshopping Arthur. I like the night shot of the luxury liner and the lights in the water. I'm also sorry to hear about your lost work. That can be quite devastating given the time and effort put into a region. A new region can bring new ideas and inspiration though.

Take care

Geoff

[kwakelaar]

Great work on your new (and shiny) capital city. Lots of different effects created for this update, I really like the snowy picture of the Kremlin. The effect on the cruisship is a little over the top for me , but I like the idea with the reflection in the water.

[Sciurus]

Very nice, but I think it's not necessary to remake the same post as on TSC?
You know what I think about the lights, it's not nice as you've done, but you can improve it
The snow effect is better than the first (I didn't say it on TSC), but the I particullary like the ice effect on the canal, I find it very realistic

Time for update  !

In these pictures you will see the new shapes of Vratska's docks, which are most like the docks in that game (Black - Unfortunately I can't found any pictures of them .. ). Anyway not a long text today, because I don't have any more things to say about it.. :p
So lets place to the pictures !















Hope you liked it,
More to come about Vratska's docks in the next days..

Arthur.

[io_bg]
