Island Feedback and Showcase Thread

[NatsumiSummer]

Come check out the newly updated Tierinsel! The isle of Animals! Looking for feedback on how my island looks right now.

Hey, I just wanted to ask what you were planning to do with that area? While I agree with @Moritz that land bridges usually look better vertically, I think that it may work if you’re doing a theme more rural-looking like a canal for a farm or rice paddies.

Spoiler: Some real life examples. These aren’t my pics.

Sorry if this opinion is bad or irrelevant. I just wanted to give you some food for thought.

something like this, maybe?

it's rice paddies from my neighbor totoro... i think... although, i've never watched it...

 

[Airysuit]

Reuploaded my dream adress a few weeks ago in cherry blossoms, and I would love to hear some feedback! Especially on some part of the beaches, I'm not really a beachy person and find it hard to make good decorations there

Yeah. Something like that is what I had in mind the other day. Hey, but if you prefer the way that your land bridge already looks, then don’t change it.

i had a thought, though... what do i do about the beach on that side?

well, i was going to do rice paddies... but i'm kinda hesitent to move everything & redo everything... i like things where they are...

i think i'd rather just pay off my basement bills... & then think about it :>

this is what that side looks like right now

 

[bestfriendsally]

now that i've paid off my basement bill, i'm kinda lost on what to do next....

i know i need to gather up 500,000 bells for my expanded storage... but besides that...

Ok, so I looked through a bit of your journal to get a sense of the goal for your island.....The goal is still anime, right?

And the area currently shown in the pictures are this one, right?

Spoiler: Town map

You're right, perhaps rice patties are not a good fit for this map. It would need lots of space, and moving resident houses is costly and time consuming. Nor would it look good being so close to town hall. Is the left side of the bridge mostly empty? I can understand why you're blanking out in this side of the map if that is the case. Maybe ask yourself what amenities or facilities would you need in order to live comfortable on your own island? Then build from there. You could also give your character a nice garden if you haven't already.

The right side of the bridge, however, has lots of potential for creativity. You already have 4 villagers living there and a reading area. This gives me the impression of a neighborhood. You could give villagers yards of their own to fill in some space. Here's an example of my favorite yard.

Spoiler: Ken's house

It doesn't have to be big or fancy, just something that compliments them.

Another suggestion is making another communal area like changing booths or shower stalls for the beach. Every anime has a beach episode, so maybe you can do something like a tiki bar or surfboard shop.

yeah, it still is anime, pretty much ^^


yeah, it is still, the left side, but it's still got apple trees & hardwood trees over there :3 & it's got my outdoor air-conditioner that i just left there, to the right of my house since i got it, my swinging chair that i put there, to the left of my house, my birdbath to the right of my house & my table & chair which is to the right of my house, which i sit on sometimes... not so much anymore, but i did :3

i've already moved mira's house that is near the museum, to the beach that is facing the plaza, yesterday, cause after i get her photo, she's moving out... i never really liked her all that much...


yeah, i was gonna give myself a garden on my original first island... but then, i dumped on that island, cause the private beach was bugging me a little & restarted it..
so i haven't gotten around to making a garden for myself yet :3

that's a rather nice garden ^^

next to marina, ketchup, sally & poppy's house, i put flowers there, so far... :3 well, maybe not marina's yet...

actually, although it's not the same one that i saw before, exactly... i saw this on pinterest just now & thought it would be good for one of my beach's :3

although, i don't have the cosmos shower diy yet...

i'm gonna make a note to give my NH oc, penny, a better island then i have.....
not saying that i hate my island or anything, though ^^

 

[bestfriendsally]

i'm in a bind as to whether or not to take down this... i mean, it was my very first build

it's based on the resting place from the cardcaptors episode; the cave...
& i love it... :<


but i could use this spot for something else....


*i'm amazed... i don't know how other people do it.... *

 

[tybalt_cake]

this post might seem a bit ambiguous due to the fact that i'm not asking for one idea but multiple

i'm wanting to do some rainbow areas on my island but i can't really find any ideas to pull that off, can somebody share images of this rainbow concept?

I don’t remember that particular episode, so I can’t comment on it. However, if this area still makes you happy, then keep it.

I’ve seen people do rainbow gardens.

Spoiler: Rainbow garden examples

I’ve also seen stages or porches with neon palm tree or those colorful floor lights. Actually, now that I think about it this aesthetic is called vapor wave? Link to an example

The festivale items like the parasol or lamp (the plant version) paired together with a poolside chair, beach towel, or beach chair can look quite nice on a beach.

Celeste items like the crescent moon chair and nova lights can be customized into different colors. Perhaps you can create a star gazing area. Link to one that I like. You could look into fairy-core since it does use lots of pastel colors.

I don't have the mushroom lamp diy, but I believe that it can be customized into different colors as well.

I also saw a pic of a vertical land bridge with a wooden, rainbow qr code. Here's the link.

Thanks! I’ll watch it during my next break and see if there’s anything that might make it more special for you.

All right. So I watched the episode. Yeah, this scene is tough to recreate, but here are my suggestions:

-If you are not against using manequins, you could place 2 down using the explorer shirt (beige), saillor tee, or some other shirt that you think looks the most similar to what they're wearing. This would've looked a lot better if Nintendo brought back those mannequin from ACNL.

I tried looking for an existing qr code of this outfit, but none turned up for me. Perhaps you'll have better luck than I did? Alternatively, you could either create a Pro qr code or commission someone to create one for you at the Able Sisters section of this forum.

I tried recreating one and this is how it came out. Perhaps you can fix it or something. I've never used the Pro tool before.

Spoiler: Sakura summer outfit

I used the first skin tone color. You can look up "ACNH skin tone guide" for more help.

If for some reason you liked the shirt that I made and don't want create your own.

I'm really sad that there's no ground qr code with scattered Clow cards or Sakura's staff, because those would've been good additions. I could try creating one, but I'm still new to this...

You can also place a candle to represent the trial that they had to do.

If you do attempt to make a Pro qr code, I used these tutorials.

Spoiler: Youtube video

- You can also decorate the beach below, if it has space. Here's an example of a volleyball net qr code. Link Here's another one. Link I remember the episode showing a sandcastle and beach ball.

-If you feel that the trees are taking up too much space, maybe you can uproot the trees on the edges and see how that makes you feel. I would advise that you take more picture before doing this suggestion, in case you want to go back.

i put a coconut tree near the books, cause i was worried that the books would get wet... does it look out of place, do you think?

You’re welcome!

About the coconut tree...hmm...it does look slightly off cutting through a picnic blanket, but there’s not a lot of good furniture with shading. A stall could protect them from the rain, but it’ll also look off.

You could place the coconut tree on rainy days and remove it afterwards.
