There are zombies. Attention Mall shoppers, there ARE zombies.

Everyone is waiting for a mall expansion. I started working on some new tiles for the mall. Food court, fountain area center square, etc. Though most of it is based on terrain and not tiles. So, not much I can do for you guys here, however:

Well, what shoppers are there?

You have some interesting ideas there. The picture for the asian woman doesn't seem to fit in with the rest, though.

I thought the same thing at first, but I kinda like the idea of people that don't fit (prom queen) having to deal with the scenario. This shot of her is almost ironic in its carefree-ness, and it makes the bitter reality of Woodinvale all the more real for her. Maybe it would fit in better if the background (or the entire photo?)was darkened somehow? I am not a graphix guy, so don't take my comments too seriously. Just brainstorming here.

I mean It looks as if clipped from a magazine, or taken as a photoshoot. Everyone else isn't aware there is a camera takign a picture of them. She seems to be posing.

Good luck finding a picture to fit that criteria. You know how long I searched?

It was just a suggestion; I found 2 that would work in about 30 seconds and a few more with more creative search titles. I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but the internet is huge and, you'll find it if you look hard enough.

Posts? I tried several creative search titles. They either were too small and when you blew them up looked like crap... or didn't convey as well as that one. Don't get me wrong, I didn't particularly like her, she just fit.

While I agree it may have been a problem of finding one with the correct resolution, you can change the initial resolution from 300 to something lower that way more images will fit. You could reduce it 66% and without any visible quality loss, FYI.

Once resampled, don't save over it as it will screw up other things in that file. Save it as a whole other document.

If you still have problems finding ones that fit, I can save a few and share them with you need be.

I dunno. I'll prolly leave it as is. Makes sense that the spoiled brat would be posing anyway. I almost got the terrain set up. I'll try to take pictures when I'm done.

That's perfectly fine as long as you're happy with it. I just didn't want you to "settle" on that one if it wasn't what you ultimately want.

You should upload your terrain as well.
