Kingdom Centre (Riyadh) was my biggest challenge in terms of geometry - it is deceptive to say the least.

Jin Mao, Tuntex, Petronas, Library, and BSWT were also sizable challenges due to their irregular geometries.

BOC(HK) is the most difficult to draw, followed by Jin Mao and HSBC(HK). IMO

I think gothic cathedrals are the most difficult to draw - that's why these diagrams are still missing.

Empire State Building and Chrysler Building are tough to do.

Damn! European cathedrals make the most equisite of North American cathedrals so Mickey Mouse! What does the front entrance of Dom look like?

My most difficult was Lincoln Cathedral.

I bet Swiss Re is really hard to draw.

Sure - no need to hurry. Do you want to draw Cologne Cathedral, Ulm Muenster or both :)

Lemme start with Koln, then if I'm happy with it, I'll do Ulm Muenster too. ;)

Hey cmon Tony I thought you might do a few Vancouver condos ;)

But that's cool. I'd love to see you do these. I can't imagine how you can draw one of those.

uhh.. hrmm.. Did I say I was going to do some Vancouver condos or are you just joking? I'm serious, I don't remember. :P

I'm working on Mississauga condos, that's about all I can remember.

But that's cool. I'd love to see you do these. I can't imagine how you can draw one of those.

Same way I did these, but with even more attention.

Yeah I remember those. But These Cathedrals are huge and I can't imagine them looking this good. It would be incredible. And you did say you would do some. I sent you a message a while back and you said it would be a while because of St. Catherines buildings.

If anyone can do these cathedrals justice- its Tony. Good luck!

Ohh... oops.. that's right! Sorry. Ok, I'll spend some time on those. I only have one St. Cath one that definately needs to be drawn, but I just don't feel like doing that one.

Setting my priorities now! (you can quote me on these!)

1) 2 Vancouver Condos
2) Koln Cathedral
3) 2 more Vancouver Condos
4) Mississauga Condos
5) the other German cathedral

Hey Tony- I got a building request for you after you get done with all those- but I'll wait till after your finished to give you the info. Just remember me (not like you have to draw it, just consider). Its a church in Atlanta (240 ft). :)

oh boy, my memory has been seriously failing me recently if I don't write it down... dunno why. You'll have to remind me as you start seeing my work flow into unapproved. :)

But as long as cathedrals and other towers do not count as citys building, I suppose most people are not interested to draw them.


:dunno:



Cathedrals and Towers(for some reason) do not count towards a citys building count, so Amiens cathedral wont count.
