FarmVille Pic of the Day: Makiziki's lush desert oasis

Howdy folks. Today's featured farm is a handsome design by Makiziki, a player who spends time over at the FarmVille Forums. Makiziki's farm caught my eye because it does something rather novel: paths. Paths may be common in other games such as CityVille, Empires & Allies, and FrontierVille, but in FarmVille, there is no easy way to make paths. All the dirt trails you see are actually created by hand placing the Lush Grass decoration all over the farm.

So not only is this farm a beautiful estate full of crops, animals, and items; but it also serves as a great design guide for other FarmVille artists. Using Lush Grass to cover a farmville tall grass makizikifarm hasn't been done too much, especially considering how nice it looks. Unfortunately, Lush Grass was a limited time English Countryside item that is no longer available. However, a different item, Tall Grass, can be bought in the decorations tab of the market for 1,500 coins apiece. The only difference is that Tall Grass is a little taller, so it will give farms a more wild, natural look.

In addition to the unique use of grass and desert background in order to make paths, the farm has a lot more going on. In an age where FarmVille players have absurd amounts of stuff, Makiziki's farm remains rather organized. Here's what they had to say about their farm:

    Well, first of all, I love to design with paths. FarmVille doesn't actually have them yet. And I love a lot of green, so my design looks like a real farm. I worked about 3-4 hours to finsih this farm, and I was so tired when I was done :) But I love my new farm :)

FarmVille Pic of the Day: Take a bite out of Deanna2u's BLT burger farm

Is it farm art or food art? Is it a burger or a BLT sandwich? Either way, it looks delicious! Today, we put aside landscapes and abstract pieces to go for still-life with hay bales, because I can't remember a time where a FarmVille farm managed to induce as much drooling as Deanna2u's simple, perfect creation.

Deanna2u chose bold bright colors on a black outline and a blue field, layering the bun's insides with what looks like cheese, ham (or an ultra rare cooked patty), lettuce and tomatoes. Is it just me or do the tomatoes actually look like they're smiling?

FarmVille Pic of the Day: Thesupersandy's farm wins with a three-in-a-row

farmville featured tic tac toe farmToday's FarmVille featured farm is a creative design by FarmVille Forums' Thesupersandy. I've seen a lot of farms in my time: hedge maze farms, Lady Gaga farms, and even island resort farms. But, somehow I've never seen the relatively simple tic-tac-toe farm before, and I think it's pretty neat.

Even though whoever was playing 'O's was silly to lose in that situation, the farm itself is very pleasant in appearance. Its mix of orchards, crops, and animals out on the English countryside, allow us to overlook the design's simplicity and flaws. Last week's farm had somewhat of the same effect. It was very simple and spacious, giving it a very appealing, relaxed look. Zynga seems to agree, because they named Thesupersandy's tic-tac-toe design the Farm of the Week. Keep up the good work Thesupersandy!
