Patrick I love Staunton like half the world do judging by the thread view count but i'd love to see you step outside her just for a change. I bet you have some amazing things inside your head just bursting to climb over Staunton and reveal itself !!

If I saw this picture somewhere else, and there weren't those empty slots, I would think this to be a very accurate hand-drawn image of a real city - it looks so realistic! I though that Staunton v2 was exceptional, but v3 has makings of something even better.

Aleks · #**2144** Posted **Jan 24, 2009, 7:56 PM**

That looks great! You should upload that picture in a bigger size. I also like the Yin-Yang!

Austin55 · #**2145** Posted **Jan 25, 2009, 4:21 AM**

Oh right, Yin-Yang

Anyway looks great, cant wait to see the docks filled in.

I'd love to, but I guess you can call me dedicated, I will not give up on Staunton until I have all of New Ganton, Staunton, Jefferson, Hamilton, and Brighton modeled. It seems I can't get past Jefferson without starting over! aah dammit!

Finally, a shot I'm proud of!

What yous should do is take a bunch of areial pics and stitch em together and creat a huge live.local style zoomable dragable image.

Patrick · #**2148** Posted **Jan 25, 2009, 5:22 PM**

I should! Staunton looks pretty badass from the air now. I just wish I had more of Staunton done, I take my time because If I ever feel like rushing the building it ends up looking shitty, quality counts, even if I'll never post a picture of the building.

Dac150 · #**2149** Posted **Jan 25, 2009, 5:38 PM**

^^^ Yeah, you are better off taking your time and produce a quality item rather than rush and end up wanting to start over again. Take your time because the finished product is always worth the wait.

first time lookin at all ur city ,it massive man and kinda feel u could get lost in it ..how does ur sketch up handle so many buildings..anyhow its incedible and i can see why you want to keep building it ...to begin a new city would be like moving to another country...

Staunton is no longer stuck in time, I think I'm setting it in 2006 around the skyscraper boom of the 2000's and when I first created Staunton, so you'll see a few modern buildings and condominiums that's for sure!

That shot IS magnificent. I've always loved a view where a street seems to end at a towering wall, like MetLife Building or Chicago Board of Trade. Kent Plaza certainly has the same effect.

Aleks · #**2154** Posted **Jan 26, 2009, 11:31 PM**

Yay! 2006! It seems like you never move on Pat!

marsh_124 · #**2155** Posted **Jan 29, 2009, 12:31 AM**

this city is kick ass! ive read the hole thing from the begining... damn you put a lot of work into this, anyhow, nice job! i hope to follow your city frome now on ,keep up the updates!

edit: and yea, you shuold put in a glassy tower, since you want to keep Galprises as the tallest, maby smthin just berly below that, so its the 2nd tallest,maby somtin like greenwich,
then again your trying to NOT be like newyork, so...

Dac150 · #**2156** Posted **Jan 29, 2009, 6:38 PM**

It'll be nice to see some more modern, glassy highrises. Perhaps those can be the base for the 'Mid-town' area(?).

Actually I've been thinking of putting a very tall, 3rd tallest in all, building built in 2006 with a modern style, across the street from Galcorp, but I dont have a clue what the design will look like so stay tuned.

Inspired by BoiseAirport's amazing renders I tried some Kerkythea for the first time in a long while, wasn't very impressed, It seems I can do better in photoshop.

UIG Building, Harlow Grand Hotel (textures messed up at the top?), Metropolitan Steel Lofts.

Westly Shoppingtown & Westly Avenue Wall.

Austin55 · #**2158** Posted **Feb 9, 2009, 6:00 AM**

I like the westly shopping center still, and Im still probably the only one, haha.

I really like the Harlow, good massing and all, and the seemingly underated/undershown met. Steel lofts.

Sexy as always.

Do an isometric shot of the entire city!

(please)

Aleks · #**2160** Posted **Feb 9, 2009, 9:42 PM**

I think unrendered is your style Pat. The city looks great, nothing to complaint about because this city is just perfect!
