traincrossin Posted October 18, 2009 Posted October 18, 2009 I simply cannot say how awesome all of this art is. I know it takes you guys so long to do it, but you put so many details into each park you draw. Great job!
DC High Heat Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 Just a suggestion: try to enhance the contrast to increase clarity...it'll help make it look more realistic and decrease the blending into one big gray area.
netdvn Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 ^ I actually grabbed the pic through my Facebook account (which has a tendency to resize pics). The original is actually MUCH bigger & and clearer. TPR wouldn't let me upload a pic in GIF or BMP format because it was apparently "too big" so I had to convert the file to JPEG. Â I'll post close ups and better quality pics later... Â And thanks for the comments - Dan
ben2008 Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 I made a wooden roller coaster for my new park that I'm creating. It's supposed to look like a GCI creation. Â I don't have a name for it though, any suggestions?? It's a little blurry...
ben2008 Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 You guys get to see a sneak peak of my new park that I'm working on, It's alot better than the one I posted earlier... "Project 2010"
DBru Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Looking great, Ben! Â As it is, the park really reminds me of SFKK...
ben2008 Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 More previews!! The first one is going to be 2 roller coasters, one is a Zierer coaster and second one is a Vekoma SLC. Â The second preview is the Park Entrance and plaza, although, I like SFNE's park entrance/plaza because it looks classy. So I'm trying to duplicate the look, but make it a little different. (Although it's not done yet...) Â Edit: Well, put the photos in backwards... Oh well. The two Roller Coasters. (Sorry if it's blurry...) Park Entrance/Plaza.
themeparkman25 Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 ^It looks great! Are you free handing or using a computer? I can't tell. Regardless, it looks absolutely great! Keep it up!
ben2008 Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 ^It looks great! Are you free handing or using a computer? I can't tell. Regardless, it looks absolutely great! Keep it up! Â It's all free handed. And thanks! I really appreciate it!
netdvn Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 ^ It looks like you're using a camera to take pics, which has a tendency to blur close ups. Do you have access to a scanner? If so, is the paper too big to fit?

netdvn Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 Miniland is 100% complete... I'm working on a few more projects at the time...  I'm posting close-ups in this update... Complete overview of the entire park. I'm working on another new park among other projects... Wave Runner - Intamin Aquatrax (based off of Jet Rescue at Sea World Austrailia) Ryu Vengeance overview... B&M floorless (based on Drachen Fire @ BGW). Whirl and Rodeo back half... Mooonshine River - Intamn flume (based on Shoot the Rapids)  Rodeo - GG woodie with station flyby  Shurieken - Vekoma Stingray
themeparkman25 Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 ^Is Jet Rescue at Sea World considered an Aqua Trax? Â Looks great also!
netdvn Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 ^ Honestly, I'm not sure... I consider it an Aquatrax because of the way the riders are seated.as well as the water-based theme. However, everyone classifies rides differently. Â And thanks for the compliment.
ben2008 Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 Here's another preview... Same one as before, but a little different. Scaled down the family coaster, added a Splash Battle (will be themed later...)
FLIPDUDE Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Ben (Or should I call you neb? XD been following you on DA...) and netdvn, your works are so awesome! Â Â Netdvn.... I gotta commend you on the angle you choose to draw the park fom. That's something you really don't see alot. Most of the time parks are drawn moreso from above. The angle makes it feel alot more real, and less like a map. Another page from the comic book I'm working on, from the comics about the Midwest trip.
Angry_Gumball Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 ^I like that, came out nice! Are you using a Wacom (or similar kind of) tablet for that?
netdvn Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 Thanks Flipdude  Are you ready for this??? The next park in the MIniland chain... The Miniland chain is sorta based off of the new parks popping up in China.  Major coasters - Diablo - A custom Intamin Mega-Lite - The devil wants his revenge - Element - Mack Launched Looper - Discover the lab of a mad scientist bent on taking daring thrillsekers on the ride of their lives. - Bombshell - GCI Wooden Twister - Great family coaster, not to small for the thrillseekers in mind, but not to big to be intimidating. - Spinjas - Gerstaluer spinning coaster - Couldn't think of a proper theme, but I liked the name for some reason - Mine Crash - Vekoma mine train - Enter the abandoned mine, but beware of the twisted mine train  Major water rides - Styx Falls - Journey into the depths of the underworld and the only way out is over the falls (Intamin flume) - Star Flume - A fun flume ride for the whole family - Rock River - Rapids ride themed to a lost cave civilization  Major thril rides - Abyss - drop tower - Are you brave enough to fall into the abyss? - Spitfire - Giant Frisbee  Miniland is a chain of theme parks built with space in mind. The rides/attractions are basically built on top of each other. The parks combine extreme thrills with family rides and shows. Enter the park... Bombshell looms over the entrance. Diablo is one of the more unique Mega-Lites because it doesn't have the turn at the bottom of the first drop. The Aquasplash Water Kingdom - Cool off here when it gets too hot The Star Flume is themed to a desert canyon Element and Styx falls await daring riders Overview of the entire park, there's still a section I haven't included yet. Stay tuned or check out all my artwork on Facebook including ones I haven't posted here. Another Miniland park is coming soon.
KPWoCkAxX Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 Wow. How do you have the patience for that? Honestly. I love drawing but that's just crazy. Â Awesome though!
FLIPDUDE Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 That really is amazing! I love your works. But it's very hard to tell apart all the details though. You should ocnsider coloring it.
ben2008 Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 Ladies and Gentlemen, Coaster Enthusists, Thrillseekers, Artists...  ...I give you PROJECT 2010: Six Flags Illinois!!!!  I used shading, alot of it in this, let's just say it's amazing!  Themed Areas: - Six Flags Plaza - Compass Center - Splashwater Kingdom (Water Park) - The Old West - Wiggles World - DC Superhero Adventures - LT Adventures - Northern Territory  Hope you guys like it!  And sorry about the photo quality. Wish they made scanners that can hold 14x17 paper.
FLIPDUDE Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 Wow! Looks incredible!!! I would love to see some close ups and explanations about it.
Jds03 Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 Â Â The forshortening in that is really great!
ben2008 Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 Wow! Looks incredible!!! I would love to see some close ups and explanations about it. Â I posted a better quality of the park on my deviantArt page. I might post it on here later as well.
