Creating Hive Street Skate Park.
#Hello world! For those of you who don't know... I have been practicing my vectoring. There are some really amazing #vector artists on hive and I have a lot of catching up to do. I'm practicing some really basic stuff here: Sizing, cloning, hollowing out objects, copy pasting assets into different projects etc.
I'm creating a city im calling 2nd hive. The idea is that by creating a digital city from google map images, pictures and my imagination. This way I will have lots of practice at basic vectoring and also have some backup assets when I make something realistic looking.
So far ive created some buildings, streetlines and sidewalks. A few days ago I started work on the citys first park called Hive street park. Today I started work on a skate park for the 2nd hive citizens. Take a look at the picture above and below I used the size of the benches to make a proportionally accurate half pipe to start the Hive Street Skate Park construction.
My next step was to lay the foundation for a two teared concrete walk up to the half pipe. Building from the ground up avoids mistakes. Notice i am half way up the half pipe. I am using common sense proportions you would see in real construction.
Now you can see what i mean by "two tear."
I added a wedge to make a rap that goes down to the first "giant step." People need a way to skate around the park. Plus the two giant steps I built are much bigger than actual steps. They need smaller ramps and stairs to look realistic.
I built some "human sized" stairs again using common sense proportions and my imagination. A lot of skake parks have these stair/ramp combos and i believe this makes my skate park look much more realistic.
I cloned the ramp/stair combo and posted it down below. I really love how this "box" is looking with the half pipe and the stairs with the ramps! This is a great main area of a small/medium sized skate park.
I created two more smaller "boxes" with two wedge ramps on either side.
At this point I turned everything concrete colored.
Here is a drone view of the new skate park. i think the park looks excellent now that its one whole piece and it's concrete colored. I will hardly need to patch it. Maybe a little #graffiti and a sign that says "Welcome to Hive Street Skate Park."
I love all the details you can see from far away. You can see that little staircase I built earlier and the shape of the rim of the basketball hoop. The more details I build the better the city will look from a bird's eye view. Eventually it will look like a legit map.
To Be Continued.
Signed my name in the hive street appartment complexes.

You can call the skatepark "SkateHive" skatepark! Hehehehe!
Great work buddy! I'l be keeping an eye at your city project!
What an awesome idea
