I've finnaly completed CITIC PLAZA!

[Cliff]

I would'nt have started a tread just for one building, but this one means so much more to me than other boxes.

Believe it or not, Citic Plaza is my very first Asian glass box!
I spent 4 hours on it, longer than what I usually take, this also marks my 4th generation drawing, one that includes clouds, which was not my style at all.


Hope you like it!

[Paulius]

Wow ! Now that's a really nice drawing ! 8)

[coth]

looks great

but gif with 256 colors kill all idea

[Cliff]

It's not in the primary, that means that I'll have to improve it.

I used manual diltering.
I dotted the whole facade.

[Cliff]

If it's not good, please tell me, I'll try to furthur improve it.

I hope to get a spot.

And don't worry, I'll still spend time to make it better if it's needed even though I'm rushing on Petronas.

[James Raymond]

It's an awesome drawing. You may want to put some cloud and/or building reflections on the facade if it does reflect. (I've never seen a good picture of the building). However, it is excellent!

[Cliff]

Sorry, I needed to make a new building so you can compare, the other one will be deleted.

Ok, let's be honest, the one above is not nicee too right, well, I'm not satisfied with it either, so:

[Jared]

cliff, at the top of the building, the contrast between the two sides is very visible. at the bottom, there isnt any. perhaps you could make the 1 side a bit darker and the other a bit lighter so people can see the difference between the two sides

[Cliff]

That's supposed to be a glassy effect, because at the bottom the light is not so strong, and glass buildings don't show too much shadow.

But I can change it to make the whole right facade darker if you really think it would be better.

[Cliff]

Okay, sisnce you did take an effort to give an opinion,

[Tony]

That's one sweet diagram you got there Cliff!

[Cliff]

Thanks!

[Cliff]

Please tell me why!:cry:

I'll do anything! Just tell me why is mine still an outcast!

Opps, sorry , I got a little carried away.

Just say it, What is it that makes this Citic unworthy to be in the primary, I'll be glad to improve it.

Thank you.

Its kinda greyish also the left side is kinda thin, but I guess it depends on the angle you are at.

Overall it's fantastic, but I'm not positive it's as accurate as some of the others.

[FRED]

Damn, nice !

[James Raymond]

Actually, I found one thing that is wrong with all the drawings. Take a look at the base in this photo:

CITIC Plaza - ss.com

The legs at the corners of the base are not shear with the facade of the building. They're in a bit (looks like ~1m). However, that's the only thing I see wrong. The sign on Cliff's drawing has the correct colors and his antennae are thinner. Also, Cliff has the dots along the corners (lights or something?), while Kelvin's doesn't.

Kelvin's drawing is very good, but I think Cliff's might be more accurate at the top.

[Cliff]

There is also something that I might add, the top of Citic is not the same for all four sides, there isn't the hole at the sides( if you are looking from the front.)
http://www.skyscrapers.com/re/en/im/df/140306/

All their drawings are 'symmetrical' that's why mine is tilted at only exactly 20 degrees because I'm not too sure and don't want to risk the accuracy.

Also, the base is almost square, and at an angle, it should be very narrow, so the diagrams (besides Buck's and Damien's) have their bases too low.

I hope the change of base can give me an advantage.


Thank you for your comments.

[Cliff]

THANK YOU!

[Cesar]

That's a beautiful drawing!!!!!

I love the detail.

I think that It will be better if you change the shape of the drawing, more smooth.

I hope this gets through.
If I dosen't, I'll be happy to improve it like for Citic.
