	cant find anything to complain about, you have your own style and it works great. you could make different kind of cars though. oh, and that lightpost is missing a part, right there where that guy stands in the middle of the street. Edited by Leroy

	Looks pretty fantastic so far dude. I like the softness of your work. The statue thing is a nice addition. Some suggestions: lines on the road, more variety in cars (at least in colour), more variation in buildings, some slight details in the water, some benches on the grassy areas, more people. what's that purple thing at the bottom?

	I couldn't agree more with blink's "softness" remark... you are the master of the subtle/simple iso design. You've really done a kickass job with layout -- the sloping hills add so much. Couple crits... the hotel sign looks a little weird with all the whitespace on the right and the roof doors have the same space issue on the top. I'm sure it will all come together once you start building the details up. I can just imagine this all filled out. It's gonna be an amazing piece dude.

	I just noticed that the light source on the red building on the left is completely different than the rest as well some of the cars and the rooftop door on the top left brown building.

	Awesome work man, gotta love the soft colours you picked Can't think of any crits aside from everything that's been said here already... I can't wait to see this finished

	Ahh... I know I remembered your name from somewhere! You are the genius behind ISOCITY. Can't wait to see this finished, one thing I noticed in addition to the other crits is that the cars need thier light sources fixed...

	Awesome. Kenneth you never cease to amaze me. Of course, it does needs TONS more details, like you stated, but other than that, it's really nice. I like the "clean" style you're portraying.

	i think the bridge is weird. there are lines across it, like its divided up as a 2-part bridge, but it shows nothing to bring it up. allso, the wooden dock would most likely block the boats paths

	snader: The boat can go around the dock, it's not taking up that much space. And the hinges to the bridge are probably underneath.

	Ryan, there's still nothing to draw the brige up. Snader has a point. Beisde that, everything else looks amazing. Great job so far.

	*Originally posted by ryan-gfx* snader: The boat can go around the dock, it's not taking up that much space. And the hinges to the bridge are probably underneath. i dont mean the small vikingship. im talking about a big transport ship. they wouldnt have made such a wide canal if there were only small boats on it allso, i just noticed, the part of the canal to the far right of the pic is grey/empty.. you should make it blue aswell i think. right now its confusing (if its supposed to be grey) edit: the sizes are way off too, i just saw that.. a car is not supposed to be as big as a door =) Edited by snader

	Thats because he stole those cars from his isocity and temporarily put them there to fill space.

	I like your clear works and colours ... another what is perfect to me that is truck, cars, ship and UFO, but truck is my favourite :) Animation of the object is very inspirational :) Nice that you try to make dynamic terrain ... this add nice vision on the work :) Keep us with progress :) ========================== :) GDGB :)

	thanks all :) still working on it, hopefully there will be another update soon. snader: the thing that could bring the bridge up could be underneath it, you dont need to have cables and stuff to do that, if thats what you're thinking. heh wasn't planing on adding a huge transport ship, but maybe i should..... i dont know,.. even if the dock is in the way i dont think it matters, it dosent have to all make sence ;) the grey bit will be changed, still working on it. yep, the cars are stolen from isocity, just to make it look more crowded, they will be changed later.
