4 hours, about. It was really sturdy, you could pick it up by just about any part. Theres probably about 25 sticks of hot glue in it

It went to an art show locally but fell apart slightly, especially the right side skyline (trump tower is like the only thing left). When you look closely st it you can see articles of things like war, global warming, something about the end of the world, religion, famine, AIDS, etc. Also note that what is supposed to be the statue of liberty is a toy soldier.

Some tips to make the SU output look better:
Turn off profiles. (view>edges>profiles) Export as PNG, so it wont blur.

And finally, I think you should post them in the Google Sketchup forum.

Some weird combination of maps, architecture and girls in tankinis. I dunno. I was board while I sketched these. These places don't exist.

Those women don't look very interested.

the first drawing is the city of Edenside, population 2 million, on canvas (70X70 approx)

detail of Edenside

this is the city of Empire Forks (14' by 17') ink on paper scale 1:20 000

Urban design has been my lifelong passion.

I have several other similar maps, many of them rendered in colour ink.

huggkruka · #33 Posted: **Apr 22, 2009, 7:18 AM**

Holy smokes. Post more, please!

Austin55, that New York skyline silhouette is seriously cool. Very creative.

Patrick · #39 Posted: **Apr 28, 2009, 2:46 AM**

I've always drawn cityscapes but never actual city scenes, so heres my first shot on that, I just started sketching from a Ground Zero picture and ended up with this, what do you guys think?

Flamesrule · #40 Posted: **Apr 28, 2009, 8:37 PM**

I love it?How long does it usually take you to make those?

And Marksab are those only on computer paper?(sketching paper)
