Ankara Needs You!

[Virtue]

Hi Guys,

Lots of missing high-rises of Ankara has been added step step, recently. :D

I have added images of all buildings in their category. So if you are interested in drawing any high-rise of Ankara, please come and check http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?cityID=574

When you find a certain building you want to draw, please inform me if you need any other images. :yes:

Ankara needs your Help! ;) :hyper:

[Pandemonious]

I'll do ATA Plaza(there are good renderings to go from, and I will also tackle the international trade plaza if you can get a better rendering than the crappy one on emporis.

It may be a little while before i can get around to finishing them.

[Virtue]

Done. :)

Thanks Pandemonious! :)

I guess you have the renderings but just to be sure,

ATA PLAZA

Unfortunately, the only rendering avaible is the crappy one in Emporis for The International Trade Center. :(

Please see the following pages for undrawn highrises.

[Virtue]

I have also posted pics in building's own pages. If you are interested in certain building. Please ask me. I will post more pics about that.

[Pandemonious]

I started a diagram for ATA Plaza...

For ATA Plaza, I don't buy that that spire is only 5.55 m/18.2 ft
tall..

Just look at the elevation drawing. It looks well over 30 feet.

I know you said you got the info from an engineer, but just compare the spire to the heights of the floors.

[Pandemonious]

Finished ATA Plaza:

[Virtue]

Thank you very much, Pandemonious!!! ;)

It looks good :)

Though tower is thicker. Up to the copy of project I have, thickness of the tower is around 27 m, 27 pixels.

Highest part of lowrise shopping centre is 24.3 m, which should be almost 24 pixels.

Don't count the white part as spire. It is not, there are two floors inside it.

[Taylordaman]

Nice drawing, Supertall!

I haven't noticed this thread before, but I'd love to help draw some buildings for Turkey. I'll get to work on some of this stuff.

[Virtue]

Thank you, Taylor. :tup:

I have fixed some broken links.

[Taylordaman]

Akman:

I'm not very happy with this one.

[Virtue]

Really nice, Taylor. :yes: :eat:

I am not very proud of Akman Condominum's design actually, but yours looks better than real Akman. :D

[Virtue]

Hey, I caught you online!! That is really cool, thank you! :cool:

Ankara diagram is getting better and better by your diagrams :hug: :banger:

[Taylordaman]

Oh yeah! I love Tony's work. He showed me some cool drawing tips.

[LMich]

Can he show me some, too? lol My drawing style has gotten really stale. I think I'm one of the only ones that doesn't use layers to draw. I find it far too confusing and time consuming.

BTW, great drawing, Tony.

[Taylordaman]

Don't ask him for help then. ;)

He showed me some cool layering on how he uses them. It was very helpful. Helps a lot with window shades and balcony shadows.

[Jai-C]

I just got your mail Taylor. Are there any pictures of the base of Çankaya Hotel?

[Virtue]

Glad to hear you are interested in Çankaya Hotel, Jai-C. :)

Unfortunately Hotel's base is under re-construction, so it is quite in bad condition.

Best photo I have is the one I took few months ago. I guess there is no change because construction is going very slow due to owner's financial problem.

And very nice drawing, SPE!

[Virtue]

Both are GREAT!!!! :cheers:

Thank you guys!! :) ;)

[Tony]

Hey thanks guys! Looking good yourself Tay-tay! Also another nice one from Jai!

[Virtue]

Btw Taylor, I have just noticed the foot columns of Armada should be higher. If you check the pics they are almost at the same height with light greenish-blue shopping center floors. But doesn't seem much important to me.

[Nightsky]

I have drawn a lot of buildings from Ankara earlier. Nice that there are more that draw, the diagram was very empty before!

[Virtue]

Yes Nightsky you have nice drawings for Ankara. Republic Tower and TOBB Towers are identical to real ones. :tup:

I am looking for more from you ;)

:tup:
Time for you to take charge of Turkey!

[Virtue]

Thanks. I was just lucky to find an image which was very easy to turn into a diagram. :D I wish I was able to draw diagrams.

[LMich]

You know that is not allowed, don't you? You can't cut and past and resize photos (or even parts of photos) to make drawings.

[Taylordaman]

He never added it.

[LMich]

Yes he did. It was either in the pending approval diagram. Either that, or I'm confusesd by his English and the diagram awaiting approval was actually fully drawn by him. He had submit one yesterday that did look like a photo.

[Virtue]

@Lmich

The one you are talking about is already deleted.

The final one I submitted is drawn by me, by going over that photo. It should be OK, as there is nothing left from the actual photo!?

[James Raymond]

No, that's not allowed, either. It must be a completely original drawing. Photos can only be used to see what the building actually looks like - not to draw over or submit as a portion of the actual diagram.

[Taylordaman]

Really? I've done what Virtue's done before. You can't use it for an outline or for eye dropping the color? I've done all those things.

[LMich]

You can eyedrop color, you can not draw over a photo.

[Virtue]

I see. http://users.pandora.be/eforum/emoticons4u/sad/1004.gif

edit: I have deleted my drawing from "drawings pending aproval" section. Sorry for the problem.

[Tony]

no worries, just try again!

[Virtue]

Thanks Tony. I didn't have time beause of my final exams, but now I am free and I will try that one again. :)
