Austin55 · #1 Posted: **Jul 20, 2008, 11:06 PM**

Yay! another trinity city,again. this is #3,but its unlike anything ive ever done. this city will have plenty of character,and I hope it gets a really good feeling to it,everything has a history or a name or something. as more details come inthe will be posted.

some trinity city facts,
The Tallest building is Ero3,a 1999 office/hotel tower in the heart of downtown.
Trinity City is home to the first skyscraper in texas.
founded in 1844* as a experimental city by Stevin F. Austin,it quickly grew to become one of Texas's biggest citeis along with Dallas and Houston. Austin went on to expand his texas colonies with much success.
Trinity City is,of course located on the trinity.**
Its home to a sculpture called "Twister",it pays homage to those who have been killed in weather related situations.
thats all for now

*-dates are probably off some
** in this world, the trinity is much bigger,and texas has some small mountins as a backdrop

Sneak peaks Sooon,ok?

awesome,see ya later! hope you enjoy

Heres a new shot,Visible overhead is the EL train,and Theentrance to the Nickel Building on the far right,the white building. it is styled as mmany other old buildings in the US,and since it was built it has lived a normal skyscraper life. it is owned and was built by the nickel mining company, but it is being considered that it be turned into a residential building. the first floor contains retail space,the main tenent being a Jewelry shop. It is considered to be a historic landmark in the city.

Looks like this one's gonna stay for a while. The details are greatt. I love that starr in the middle. Is it like the place where the settlers first decided to build the city?

Austin55 · #10 Posted: **Jul 21, 2008, 6:23 AM**

Thanks,no aleks the star is just kinda random. if you look on the right youl notice the roads dont line up,so I just drew a circle,then tried drawing some lines but it ended up looking like a star,so I keept it
