My skyscrapers drawn in paint

Here are my 15 best skyscrapers drawn in paint. I wanted to show you guys, but at the same time I thought it might be interesting to see which one is your favorite.

Nice, especially Wellingham Plaza. Though, the tall box strikes me as well.

James that is the best artwork I've seen you make so far. You're definately improving your skills. I give them all a 10/10 because I could see them all being in the SSP diagrams. Wellingham Plaza is also my favorite out of the bunch. 3 Pacifica Square is a close second.

I did these type of buildings for a while at SSP before I moved on to making Superpolis buildings here at SSC. I think you'll get to the point where you can make fantastic Superpolis style buildings sooner than you think.

Hopefully maybe we can start a new version of Superpolis soon if Jan is willing to restructure that section of the forum. We just need a new mapmaker and a new map.

^Thanks very much! I would sometime like to move up to Superpolis. Shouldn't it be like Superopolis? Superpolis just doesn't flow.

But anyways, after looking at some of the stuff I used to submit to "Your Skyline", I cringe. I think some of them were being way to generous.

Well the name wasn't my idea.

I think there should be a new name for the city, and the tiles for the map should be a bit different (a bit larger) so we can have more details. I also think the map should be smaller and we should actually go with a ratings system (similar to the one we ignored) in order for buildings to be placed on the map.

wow..... damn it's a big surprise you ain't in superpolis (whatever the name is). how about a collaboration?

it's very simple if you look at it closely. but it's finely done, and it looks great in a row like that
