We haven't even been through Thanksgiving yet, but that hasn't stopped Tamilyn3 from embracing the Christmas spirit early this year in FarmVille. This spectacular farm sports incredible optical illusions and a plethora of carefully placed festive FarmVille winter items.
Though the farm is rather crowded compared to some other farms we've seen, the precise symmetry and patterns definitely make up for it. The optical illusions on Tamilyn3's farm are so good I almost forgot there isn't a "build wall" or "raise ground" tool in FarmVille. All you farm artists stand to learn something from Tamilyn3's design. By placing trees on top of her optical illusion walls, it appears as though the mountain actually rises up in front and above the boundary of the farm, creating a more believable effect. Usually, one of the shortcomings of such an illusion is that the raised ground is bound by the farm's walls, making it pretty clear that there is some hay bale and item trickery going on.
The only potential complaint I have about Tamilyn3's farm is that there is no snow on the ground! Perhaps this was a deliberate decision on behalf of the farm artist, but I personally would have opted for the white winter wonderland skin to go along with those great holiday items. That's quite a collection Tamilyn3. Thanks for getting us all in the holiday spirit a little early. Keep up the good work!

FarmVille Pic of the Day: Shammie 77's mountaintop kingdom
Today I've got a real treat for you fine folks: Shammie 77's mountain farm. It's farms like these that reinforce my belief that FarmVille designing is an art. Sure I've labeled some questionable farms as art in my time, but you have to agree that Shammie 77's design is nothing short of a masterpiece.
Shammie's farm does so many things right. The idea for the design itself is excellent, a fortress on a hill, with a small village at the bottom. The design is kept simple, featuring only the items that were absolutely necessary. This gives the whole thing a very clean look. Of course, the optical illuison is really excellent. Where other farmers tend to overdo or exagerate their FarmVille design illusions, Shammie includes it nonchalantly, giving the farm a really natural and convincing appearance. In addition, Shammie 77 smartly connects the areas together with paths and a river, furthering the optical illusion.
I could go on and on about everything that makes this farm so great, but instead I'm going to give you a chance to look it over by clicking the image above. This creation reportedly took Shammie 77 several weeks to make, so take your time checking it out.
