FULL VIEW IS A MUST

Edit: I fixed the major pixelation issue in both the preview and wallpapers. Also fixed the distortion. It is now at it's original size.

Description: Welcome to Millennium Haven, your ideal vacation getaway! We are nearing our destination and will soon be arriving at the main lobby of our central hotel. But before we arrive, allow me to explain the many features Millennium Haven has to offer.

As you know, we are currently in one of the most luxurious and state-of-the-art transportation shuttles on the east coast. Our silver shuttles, like the one we are in now, have daily routes which allow you to have free transportation to the many islands and hotels we have to offer. We also provide black shuttles which give you the luxury of personal transportation for a small fee. We of course also have landing pads if you wish to bring your own vehicle to our resort.

Scattered around our resort are raised hotel domes which are raised out of the ocean and even have their own landing pads. Giving you an ideal view of the ocean, these hotel domes consist of both large and small luxurious rooms that accommodate all types of guests. From the outside, these domes are transparent and do not show the inner workings of the hotel. Once inside, you’ll see that there are many different levels, the middle level being the lobby. All hotel domes come standard with an indoor pool and Jacuzzi, as well as an exercise and recreation room. There is also a small restaurant which serves breakfast for free!

If you look straight ahead you’ll see the main island where you’ll most likely be spending most of your time. The large dome you see is the central hotel where the main lobby is located. The surrounding buildings include stores, restaurants and a plethora of recreational activities including theatres, shows and entertainment that pleases all ages. There is also a dome to the left, which is the resort’s medical center.

To the right you can see a separate island which our high speed train visits daily. There you’ll find our famous observatory, which becomes completely invisible at night to allow you to see the cosmic workings of the sky with ease. The dome on this island is the local communications center. You can find digital books, computers and communication services in this dome.

Straight in front of the island is the central landing pad, which we will be landing on in just a few minutes. I hope you enjoy your stay here at Millennium Haven and be sure to give your lobbyist your boarding pass and information when we land.

Very interesting work you've done here! Although I feel the colors are a bit off, the amount of activity astounds me. Keep it up :D~!

Not the colors in the sky/background, but the colors on the edges of the vehicles start to get fuzzy and look slightly out of place. But don't trust my colorblind eyes XD~

Hmm, perhaps I sharpened them too much. I may fix that later.

Thanks! :D

This is very well done. But I do agree that it's oversharpened. It'd be better smoothed out, but still having that edgy feel. I love the concept, though. =D

first, great idea loved reading the little description about it. there is only one thing that's sticking out to me it seems that edges of some the vehicles seem to get pixilated, for all it's worth I think that this is a really great concept.

Thankyou, and I just edited it so that the pixelation stands out less. Hope it looks better. ;)
