umm... can i ask a favor from anyone?

if your able to... anyone who has a capture card, can you take a tour of my DA of my island that i haven't overwritten yet, please? it'll still be in the same form as it was before i flattened, i know that much...

i kinda regret flattening...
i really want to do a no-terraforming island...& i'm trying to remake it... but i WON'T restart again... :<

my DA is in my sig... :>

i'd appreciate it so much...

my current map, marked with where i want everything....

they're not too far apart from each other, are they? or do they look alright like that?

i suppose it'd look better once i have everything in place ...


*don't mind the water... i'm trying to re-do my original rivers. & cliffs.. it's hard*

my original map-

Best of luck recreating it!

If it were me, I'd just make a new design. But I applaud you for trying!

thankyou ^^ i think i have most of it back... i just need to straighten it out a bit :>

although, i have this huge hole that's holding my oc, penny's flowers that she's going to have on her island... but it's stopping me from re-making the rest of the cliff where i had my campsite, my star-gazing spot, my bamboo grove spot & onsen...

i think i'll just ''bite the bullet'' so to speak & dig them all up, fill it in & make that flower field i wanted :> that way, i'll have the whole land again :>

Best of luck to getting it back to how you liked it.
Hopefully you have some pics to go off

do you think it came out sorta like the original map? the rivers i mean... although, i added a crescent moon pond, cause i wanted one :>

i tried...

the original map

i just need to straighten out the cliffs a little bit....

You need to curve the cliffs, your old island didnt really have completly straight cliffs, so maybe make them more bumpy

i know... i'll do my best :> i'm trying to do a no-terraforming island... but i can't really say that about it at this point, though.. i guess...




i'm gonna remake my playground, first, though :>

 

[bestfriendsally]

i feel like i got my cliff's sorted out :3

there's not much i can do about my rivers... it's the best i could do... i'm not good at rivers apparently...

i could straighten a little bit of the river top, though... edit at 6:23 pm: done it :>

do you think this looks okay, so far?...

Lazy dont strike me as being a very dedicated worker. Filbert is a flimsy mage, and Sherb helps Chief. So maybe he helps someone.

actually, i was thinking of having stitches help ketchup with her flower shop :3

Hope it was okay to comment, as I just stumbled upon this thread! The path you chose is lovely, I think you could utilize it better if you also made the edges a little “random” just like the creator code picture so the natural look doesn’t look too forced or straight. As I once heard from a tv show, almost everything in nature is random and not as simple as a straight line.

to me, those ‘the path’ style custom paths need to be put down in a winding, uneven pattern to look right. If you do keep it like that, I would mix up the middle section so the clover patcher are more uneven. It would give it more of a natural feeling.

for a wide, straight path like that a custom cobblestone/ stone/ brick path would look good, in my opinion. I do like the way the border of that path blends though.

up to you of course.

That's the kinda path I make but different color, it's like how Wallea said, its gotta be winding, and can take a bit of practice, and patience

Most of the time the patches are meant to only be going in a single line, and curvy. However if their is a piece with a solid tile, and no curves. Then put that one in the middle.

However some, like the grassy on in the middle should only be used a few times, but if you wanna use parts like that, I could maybe help

Yeah, your doing well, I'm just saying I could help you. But that it takes practice! Ypur not doing a bad job

PM me the tile design, like the design templates, and I'll give you tips on how to use them

you know... if i were to do a okami/okamiden-inspired island for my 2nd island,

how much of my island do you think yakushi village would take up? if you know about it & played okami *switch*/okamiden *ds*, that is

cause the village is pretty big & it's so pretty :3 i'd probably start it at the entrance :>

i know there's a Blacksmith shop & a regular shop next to that hotel down there, so the able sisters & nooks can go in that spot... technically...

i don't know what i'm gonna do about the museum, though...

the pic probably doesn't do it justice, though, cause i think the village is bigger then the pic shows...

*i know i'm getting waaaaaaaaay...ahead of myself..... it's just thoughts...
i also don't know what i'm gonna do about the cherry blossoms when it's not cherry blossom season*
