Okay we have some new drawings.
The
Original Metropolis
Modern Metropolis
04/05/07
By 5th Grade I had started drawing several cityscapes with their own style (I cant wait to show those to you guys!). By the end of 5th Grade I had started drawing mainly the Same city but usually with a different skyline.
Oceanside, Oceanview, Palm Vista, thne later Staunton, where the primary names of this city. IT was a west coast city, probably a richer version of Los Angeles. The Tallest Building was the LEXWORLD or LEXCORP Tower. Headquarters to Lexworld Enterprises or the Lexington Corporation. Little did I know Lexcorp was actually a fictional company in Superman's comics. When I found out I changed it from Lexcorp to Lexworld, Lexworld was eventually replaced by Galviston Enterprises, or Galcorp.
This was 7th Grade, some of the landmarks in OCEANSIDE, (why the hell did I name this drawing Modern Metropolis!? so uncreative)
The Westlife Hospital, The Hotel, JC Summit Towers, The Residences, World Entertainment Headquarters, CLEANpo Power Plants, LexWorld Tower, LexWorld Hotels, West & East Square, Skeet Boston Plaza, (parody of Fleet Boston), City Hall, City Hall West.
Oh and the freeway sign says "Stay Safe, or else!"
The
Real Metropolis, not really.
Metropolis 2
Summer 2007
I started this drawing near the very end of school, finally resumed in the first few weeks of 9th grade.
I started out with a Sydney, Australia styled city, (Mo, maybe you can reconize a few Sydney Buildings) but eventually ran out of ideas. I was becoming a fan of that hit show on the CW "Smallville" which is about Clark Kent's life as a teenager. I've never been a fan of the comics (look at the way they do Metropolis! eww so unrealalistic!) but I saw Superman Returns and really I wanted to do my rendition of Metropolis. This wasnt it, it was last minute.
This is a very new city, few older buildings, No Metropolis, the only way you can tell is the Daily Planet Building and Lexcorp Towers off to the right.
Landmarks include: Centennial Park, UOL News Garner Center, Club 360, JC Summit Entertainment Headquarters, City National Bank Plaza, ComWorld Plaza, Governors Tower, Sk8 Brand Plaza, United Airlines Building, Daily Planet Building, One Lexcorp Plaza, and StaRR Plaza.
