Heya' Islanders!


Today I've got a super special Island Throwback for you all! I have some very old TI drawings that went completely unused, all the way back from 2011 & 2012, that have NEVER been shared... until today!


Let's take a look at some from 2011 first, shall we?


Airport Room & Use

ree

The Airport was a planned room that was going to open at some point in November 2011, located south of the Boardwalk Plaza. When it was supposed to open, the room was going to be under construction, which is the image shown above.

This is how the room was going to look when completed. It had a long, bent runway, and a single tower, which even had an interior!

ree

"Santisity Island" was also going to be a brand new room that would open when the Airport would, which would then also be under construction...

ree

This room was going to be dedicated to just one building - the Playhouse Room, where Fellys could act in plays, once the building was completed.

Of course, I never completed the room itself, so only the version of it under construction is available. These rooms never released, and would most likely not be open today if they were. Next!

Prehistoric Party

ree

In September 2011, I had planned a Prehistoric Party, where The Island would be decorated with caves, dinosaurs, bones, etc. The image above shows the construction of the party at the Town. The images below are construction spots for the Shopping Plaza and Marina.

When the party would begin, there was going to be a lot of decor, seen below...

Fun fact: The brown sticks at the bottom are supposed to spell "TEAKY"

This party never actually happened because of the low interest in the theme, and a Fun Fair was held instead, which sounds more fun, right? Next!

Another Medieval Party

ree

For some reason, in September 2011 (again), I was planning on doing another Medieval Party, though I only had the Town, Arcade and Shopping Plaza drawn. The Town is seen above, and the Arcade and Shopping Plaza is seen below.

Not much else to say about this one, next!

Various Unopened & Unused Rooms


The Island has had plenty of scrapped and unfinished room drawings over the years - some opened anyways at a later date, some never opened at all. Here's some!

Pretty cool, huh? A lot of wasted drawings to never be used for anything with TI ever again.


That's all for now, Islanders - stay tuned for the next part of the Party Countdown and even more of this Island Throwback topic, where we will be looking at 2012 art!


Thanks for reading!
