Animal Crossing: New Horizons Player Completes Shrek-Themed Island

gamerant.com:

Since Nintendo released Animal Crossing: New Horizons in 2020, players have been improving their islands to unlock terraforming, so they can create their ideal landscape. One Animal Crossing: New Horizons fan has turned their island getaway into an homage to the popular Dreamworks movie Shrek.

Reddit user Confused_but_valid has been terraforming their Animal Crossing: New Horizons Shrek island since 2020, ultimately completing the imaginative project after around ten hours and a lot of bells. The process of terraforming in Animal Crossing: New Horizons can be quite lengthy and pricey without the goal of making it resemble a popular character, but Confused_but_valid's attention to detail has ensured that the colors used across their island's landscape kept Shrek in mind. The result of their terraforming is a town map, and flag that look remarkably like the ogre that became an internet meme, as well as a community celebrating the commitment.

Beyond simply creating the green titular hero of Shrek by terraforming the island with different shades of green outlined with the blue of a winding river and some curiously spaced out ponds, Confused_but_valid has also made a Town Flag based on the character's likeness. Confused_but_valid's image of the town map shows all the important locations like Nook's Cranny and the Museum beneath the image of Shrek alongside the houses of ten villagers and two plots representing Confused_but_valid and another player. The aptly named Shrek Island shows a roster of villagers such as Axel, Audie, Celia, Hornsby, Lopez, and Raddle, though it's missing the Donkey look-alike Buck.
