But first, lets add a little overview over my entire zoo.
For the work zones, the bottom left is asia, about half done with the colored markings being plans for my new exhibits. On the top we have arctic, 2/3 done. Top right the forresty area is southamerica, just having one habitat and a bit of decorating left to be done, but i dont really have an idear how to do it so thats left open for now.
Bottom right is africa, with 3 habitats done, one needing a major overhaul (the big one) one needing some work detailing (should be maybe an hour) and to the right of the way i want to build 1-3 more habitats, i havent decided on what exactly i put there yet, but i kinda wanna do giraffes and penguins. If you guys have any idears, pls tell me, right no their are nyalas,implied one for goats and watussi cattle, wild dogs, meerkats, warthogs aardwarks and now sable antelopes.
But the exciting part is that hole in the middle and the bottom.
Its the "historical" part of my zoo, with the lower part being partly destroyed to build an entrance building the next days.
But now for the actual habitas, we first have the og, one and only first habitat i have ever build, the aardwarks.
Its really nothing special, but i kinda like the simple look, so i simple expanded it with the area in the foreground and gave them a stable.
The other habitat i build today is a small aviariy for an asian pheasant (in my brain its the golden, but if we get any more pheaseants, whatever it will be will be put in here) and some smaller flying birds. Alternativly this could also be quite nice for a small mammal like a civet, fishing cat or a muntjak, that actually could have some birds with it.
I tried to make it look like an older classical aviary and i think i succeeded.
For now, its the living ground of 2 female peacocks, living out their older days away from the males and annoying loud tropical house, were the rest is held in.
Between the two exhibits i build a little memorial with informations about the long history of the zoo.
This also marks the first time i build my own sign and i quite like it, even though building them is a little pain. I cant imagine how some of the signs in the workshop came to be.
Im gonna try to get better at it and maybe find out how to do even smaller signs, so that i can spread them around my whoule zoo.
And thats it! I hope you liked my progress of the day and my zoo in general. Also, pls help me i have no clue what asian animal to use for the spot in the background of the last picture. Right now im unsure between an implied habitat for blackbucks or an asian deer like the axis or sika deer, or just using the cassowary, letting the first australian animal into my zoo. Maybe im gonna do none of that, who knows? I just hope im actually gonna finish the sable antelopes tomorrow and not just spread to somewhere else, eventhough i and my old art teacher both believe an unfocused scatterbrain to bring the best, even if uncoordinated and unpredictable results.
