That is awesome! Love how you used the Cyclops eyes, trees, and decorations for added details.
I actually have a few "flagons" of my own in the Art Thread to avoid double posting. I can honestly say that they are time consuming, but you did a fantastic job on yours!
Until recently, I have not spent much effort decorating islands. In part, I was more concerned with maxing income, which usually meant foregoing symmetry, balance, and aesthetic, in favour of cramming islands full of habitats. But also, I found I had no talent for it, nor patience.
Income isn't really an issue any more. Yesterday morning, before collecting any DC, I spent every gold coin I had. I got myself down to DC 16,000. I didn't spend anything for the rest of the day. Before I shut down for the night, I was at DC 52,000,000.
Anyhow, I still don't think I have much talent for it, but I seem to have found some patience... So here are 6 of my islands. Please feel free to comment or criticize. Later today, or perhaps tomorrow, I might go take a tour through some other players' parks to find new inspiration.

Anyone seeing the images? I can't get these links in your message to work.
Nicely done, Mikey! Those small rocks make great spacers between the eggs, really like that idea. **mulls stealing said idea** Also like the yellow brick road feel of the Rainbow island and the golden tail effect you created on the epic/limited egg island.
Being not much of a decorator, am very proud of the work you have done. Gives me inspiration to do something with my mess.
I think my favourite island is the one with the gemstone, epic, and limited egg pedestals.
With the gemstone eggs and decorations, I tried to make a "clock", with the December egg at the 12 position, January at the 1 position. In the centre, I put the Warp-in Portal. And I use a golden path as an hour-hand that points to the gemstone of the month (Emerald, in this case).
So yeah, that's the only island with an original concept, whereas the other 5 are just symmetrical.

I'm glad you liked. Steal away.
I didn't catch the clock theme, but now that you mention it - what a brilliant idea!

Looks Awesome Myke what a fantastic idea.
Nothing like a good redecoration to reinvigorate you for this game. Giant habitats are awesome.
Quick Question: 50mil?! How did you make 50 Million in one day? Just from your sweeps?

Mr. Neil! Welcome back. Wow, have you been missed. How do you like your party hat?
Yep, 50M from sweeping. Thanks to the Giant Habbies, I greatly reduced the number of elemental habitats I had out, and bought several large Moon/Sun/Rainbow.
I clear a little over 20M on my first sweep, between going to bed and waking up. Then, over the course of the day, breeding Irons and Rusts, 14 hours of accumulation in the epic habitats, and occasional sweeps on my giant elemental habitats, I make it to 50M, +/- a few.
I just started retrying for Emerald (for the goal/achievement), so that'll cut down my income until I get it. Afterwards, back up to 50Mish.

Thanks for the welcome back! Hope to stick around this time!
Yeah I have been culling my habbies as well and replacing with Rainbow large. (Just don't have enough Sun/Moon to extend past my current seven)
There are currently 72 non epic Dragons and you can fill them with only 15 Giant Habitats. Leaves a lot of room for big money makers if you still want everything on display.
I have a feeling that in the near future that BFS is going to release a "Big Cash" type update.
myke, I love the islands. I think you did a great job. I tried to do a clock thing with the gem decorations a long time ago, and couldn't make it look right. Your way looks great.
I love my vine dragon avatar created by ElektronX. Now, if only BFS would add it to the game...

Gorgeous. Your islands have spirit and delicacy. Epic egg island is the prettiest ever! Thank you for sharing them. It's certainly quite a transformation from the Easter Egg days...

Well Myke i visited some islands recently and came on to yours. Having the old layouts in mind i first thought, ok, i didn t select the proper name on the list, so big was the astonishment! Great job you did! I of course, especially noticed the gem dragons individual memorials. Great idea.
Wow, thanks so much, Viv. It is quite the difference from my old cram-as-many-habs-as-possible technique I previously practiced. And I quite like it. It was fun to do to. I too went a visiting today, and took some screen shots of neat layouts and ideas. Among those I visited was Poppy. His park is nice.
Thank you so much for doing this Pixie! I really need to find the time to redecorate and upgrade. I'm comforted today knowing that if Myke can do it, I certainly can! Great islands Myke!!
