Description
So you thought that otherisland you saw years ago is where all your subscriptions premium membership funds went ay? Well April Fools! That was just a cover-up for what dA was really spending your tax points on
A new logo begs for a new island shaped like it, bigger, better and with room for all the things people said should have been on the first. Just don't change your logo again deviantART, or I'll have to make you a continent next time around, and I'm not made of continents!
OK so I actually started this late last year, not long after the new logo was released. It was meant to be done before Christmas but life got in the way and it took up until now to get it finished. Better late than never, deviant-land wasn't built in a day
I pulled out a little bit of everything I use to create this one in both software and technique, with 3D modelling, Vue, digital painting and matte-painting all combining forces to take on this monster task. I'm just glad it's done and hope you guys thought it was worth the wait.Update: Due to popular demand, a Fella-shaped "Statue of Artistic Liberation" (that name was my idea) has been constructed
Artwork made and copyrighted by me. Please do not re-use or redistribute without my permission DeviantART logo copyright...uhh, deviantART. They can feature/promote it for on-site purposes if they want, with credit due of course

Man I would love to come here. Aslong as there is a McDonald's on the island.

Some are real ones I must admit, but I think I blended them seamlessly with the ones I made

This looks very much like a Tropico game.

Basically, they are/ were a series of city building/ RTS games set on a fictitious Caribbean island with stereotypical Cold War era "banana republic" attributes. They were filled with hilariously politically incorrect satire, and had epic Latin jazz soundtracks, like these.

Reminds me of the kind of music that plays in every movie where the characters go to a Caribbean or South American location

It's needs something creative that reflects the nature of the community. I was thinking... "deviantART Land"

Well done, sir.
This looks like a place Rico Rodriguez could reduce to rubble in about 23 minutes.
Or maybe I've been playing too much Just Cause 3.

Perhaps so - since I don't know who that is lol

'specially if it's reached this level of graphical detail by now (I wouldn't know, I only played one of those games once about 10 years ago

I grind those games and snort them out of a butt crack in parties <3

Awww, no llamas in there? Too bad xD
Anyway, that is amazing, kudos to you!

I'm thinking I should have added a llama shaped rock formation now
But there may be actual llama's roaming around the forested areas. Though they're too small to see from this distance

Maybe seven years is how much time we have left before that happens

But then we have only pessimists in the dA staff. No wait. When hell freezes over it probably ain't bad. I mean it's an uncomfortable place still. So maybe it's god when hell freezes over, right.
