Theming

This picture of the Arts District in Dallas, Texas was used as a reference image for lil_shadow59 when building the set for his screenshot "Heart of the City".

lil_shadow59 often used the screenshot contest as an opportunity to construct new builds in and around his town. The screenshot "In Times Gone By" features a train line set that he built above Arcadia. MinecraftYoshi26, the host and producer of the contest, requested that he put the scene on the ground so it was not temporarily in the town in the air, which he did. The screenshot "A.T.F. The Autumns Hammer" featured a ship that was built off-server and pasted off of the coast of Arcadia. The screenshot "Heart of the City" was a Minecraft recreation of an image featured in a smooth jazz video, which led to the development of northern Arcadia.
