What is your island style?

The general idea is that my character is a researcher. What kind? Who knows! I don't think even they know! They sure are trying their best though. Whether their best is good or not doesn't matter shhh... So the town is a bit of a mish-mash of museum/conspiracy/mystery/etc stuff. I plan on having mis-matched fossils, a ufo crash site, a black flea market, etc!! it's gonna be super fun playing around with this theme and I'm excited to flesh it out more : D It's likely gonna be an even combination between natural and rural, since I wanna keep the mysterious look and give it a bit of a tourist town vibe!

Natural/foresty right now. I haven't gotten into terraforming yet. Still working on collecting/finding items and thinking up exactly what I want to do.
 
I have a few different themes going on but for the most part, most of my island is natural/foresty with lots of white flowers and cedar trees. I also have a Little Tokyo/Chinatown area that has bamboo, some cedar trees, and white hyacinths. Lastly, I have a villager plaza with lots of colorful flowers and fruit trees and I have a bunch of fruit trees surrounding my campsite too.
 
Well still trying to fit everything in considering I have around half my map turned into a lake. My theme is one half retro city and the other half is prison
 
Here's my island/kingdom mood-board (theme) along with the town flag :D

I am kind of all over the place. I was going to stay natural but then I started pathing things out and it escalated. I haven't done a lot of terraforming, just basically filled in a pond and made a new pond and added jumps at certain points in the rivers to make my life easier etc. That said it doesn't really feel like an island though lol
 
Well, the best description would be a foresty harvest moon island. 😅 With a fully pathed shopping district & a chill downtown. The islanders are spread out on top of hills in the northern part with lots of farming land. Wasn't planned, but I love how it's turning out.
 
Right now it reminds me of an abandoned, overgrown, remote little town that once was beautiful and prosperous, with gothic-style architecture. Now it's home to a colony of kindly animal (spirits)... It's peaceful and calm.
 
My theme is very forestlike and super cottagecore, like a little village you found in the woods thats been on the comeup recently but is still mostly rural^^ So far I have a cute little marketplace near my shops, the campsite is decked out with its own little island, and my house is kinda secluded :)
Ooh a thought I had after seeing the gnomes was that the island is also a bit magical and gnomes live there!! So you can find gnomes in the little nooks and crannies
