I made this one on request for Durfal. It was a bit of a challenge, to make a wonder out of a famous painting. Not sure what to think of the result. Hope you like it.

This is what the building (?) looks like:

isn't 'the nightwatch' a huge painting? several metres wide & high? I don't think you can simply put it on that wooden thing..

No, it's not all that big. See image.
Hey, and Maybe it's a huge wooden thing ?:D

By the way, I made 2 more splashes for this. Both are self-portraits by Rembrandt. They are less specific for "the Nightwatch", but maybe they are nicer to look at. Dunno.

No, not right now. Maybe in Feb-March, I'll do version 3 of TML, but for now, I'lll just make a few wonders. Well, eventually, I'll probably use a lot of them in TML3, true.

Got a question about this.

I remember that for each wonder u need a place in ur City overview. How are u going to add those wonders.....??

This is a question that keeps coming back, but: NOPE.
There is no way that any buildings and/or wonders that anyone has created can be added to the city view. It's part of the hardcore programming of CIV3 that can not be edited by US.

Personally I don't really care for the city view anyway.

OK - as there's only 8 downloads so far, I figure something's wrong with it. So shoot...

Would you like it better if I just stick the painting to a wall instead ?

Or is it just the concept, "a painting" that's not funky enough ?

:confused:

After the 'facelift' on the Book of Kells, I thought this one could use a little shadow too.

Image and download .zip on top of the thread have been updated.

Ta!

I think painting on an easel is natural way to portray a painting wonder. Nice frames too. Great work there, AK47! :goodjob:

A gallerist would say that an object displays itself as an art object only in a space, where art is exhibited, such as in an art museum or art gallery (this is the key to get the conceptual art). I tend to think white walls are dull and alienating and the most importantly will not fit in civ3, so an easel works best.

There were some minor glitches with the transparency settings. Although I suppose most of you can fix that by now, I corrected the files in the download.
