I see that many people on this forum like Sim City 4 (http://universesandbox.com/forum/index.php/topic,426.0.html). Does anyone else also draw cities? Feel free to upload the cities you've drawn, if you have a scanner or something else. I like to draw cities, this is how I draw them (sorry for it being so big, my scanner also works perfectly as a microscope).
And this is the biggest city I've drawn: Blaland (http://zoom.it/bI4E)
Btw, just a reminder (because we've had a lot of posts about Sim City 4 here), we have a topic about Sim City, so I recommend posting there if your posts are only about the game, and not related to drawing cities in any way. :)

Hahaha! It works as a microscope!
I don't have a scanner, and when I was younger I would do that and then make street courses like Need For Speed Underground and Most Wanted...
-
I used to draw racing courses when I was younger too. I liked racing and racing cars when I was younger, I have both of those games, even though I liked racing with "real" racing cars and courses better, like Gran Turismo.

I can't wait till GT5 comes out in November!!!!!!!!!! HEHEHE
-
Sadly I've decided not to buy a PS3, so I can't play it. :( :( :(
It sounds so awesome, with more than six cars in a race. :P
-
16 ftw! haha
-
That's really cool. I like it.
-
16 ftw! haha
Yes, far better than six... But still... Le Mans (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/24_Hours_of_Le_Mans) isn't Le Mans without at least 40 cars. :P
That's really cool. I like it.
Thanks. :)

I've always loved drawing train routes, but now i don't, i play a game and make realistic ones on there, but i also like drawing cities, til i got sim city 4 :P then cities XL

I hear NASCAR is gonna be in there. Nascar isn't NASCAR without 43 cars. Although, as long as EA doesn't make it, I'm happy. Polyphony ftw
-
I also both have SimCity 4 (my old favorite game) and Cities XL. But there's still nothing like drawing a city. :P
There's much more freedom.
-
I agree but I don't draw any, but I drew one before. I lost it, or did I?
-
I can take a picture of it when I find it if I can and it's in red ink and on notebook paper. It's messy, so I'll clear it with Photoshop.
-
I always use pencils, and do this:
1) Draw the land and water borders.
2) Draw the first roads.
3) Begin to draw buildings.
4) Erase the borders on the roads where you want new roads to cross etc., and draw the new roads.
5) Draw more buildings along them.
Simplified. But that's how I do it most of the time.
-
I just draw. I don't care about mountains...I don't put them, I just draw the land mass, then the buildings, then the roads, and I just remember to not make the lines of the sides converge, I just make the roads in a way that is normal.
-
Look at it here!
-
Yes, that looks very good. :) Another way to draw them. :)
-
Maybe I can find one I have drawn...
-
I drew that at school by the way, and my (mean) friend told me I needed names for the streets and a name for my city, and that is what I got.

nope, trainz 2009 world builders edition, but ya i have that too :P
-
Soon, I might upload my drawing of Blaland... If I can find a site which hosts 1.98GB/709 megapixel images... :P
A preview of Blaland is available in my newest video:

If anyone should happen to know such a site, they're more than welcome to tell me. :)
-
HOLY MOTHER THAT IS MASSIVE
Oh yeah, sometimes I draw cities as well.
-
:P
If you have a scanner, you could upload them. It could be funny to see how other brains control organisms to draw cities. :)

Okay...
I don't has a scanner... Nor do I know where any of my drawn cities are. I will search for some if I remember. I have my handy light that creates no shadow due to the epic angleage that I can manipulate from it.
-
Okay...? ???
-
How two human beings on entirely different continents can be told by their brainz to draw a city.

What? History?
-
Look at the I saw a fly topic
-
The only city I found...
-
Boooring... jk
-
Exciting. You also draw ramps. :P But not buildings, only zones where they are, or?
-
Streets named after Greek letters? Wtf?
-

Yes, only zones. This city was confusing... the 72 kinda stops and you have to go through the city to get to the other 72. lol It's one of those tourist towns you hate because you have to go on city streets to get to the interstate again.
Streets named after Greek letters? Wtf?
Wtf your face. jk, yes they are Greek letters, and minerals. Southern California does letters vs minerals in some areas. San Diego has letters, and sometimes minerals. I know a place where it's not letters, but there are minerals.

Thanks to Dropbox, everyone can now zoom in on Blaland and see all my mistakes. :-[ :P
It now works in Zoom.it:

I like the Sim City series too. However, I'm not a huge fan of SC4. It doesn't allow me all the cheat codes for free construction and unlimited money like SC3k Unlimited does. :P

wtf there is some for Simcity 4
-
What I liked about SC3k was the building editor. Very easy to make stuff.
-
One of my dreams is to be very good at drawing....not cities but anything.
I've always wanted to make my own Graphic Novel.

Sim City 4 !!
Whaaaa ??
I have got SimCity 3000 on my old PC - WITH the Building Architect add-on. :) :)
You cain't get SimCity 3000 no more :(
Aand the Building Architect was an add-on, which you cannot Download no more :(
You can only Run SimCity3000 on Windows '98 or '95 - so that is why it is on my Old P.C., running in Windows '98.
I also have all of the Cheat Codes for that as well.
Lets you build Everything for Free, all types of Powerplants, all types of Waste Disposal, all types of Water Plants.
A Free $100,000 from a "money laundering" - and all kinds of extra goodies.
I have played it A LOT - and saved Lots of Cities from it.

Why are all your posts the same format?

A city I drew yesterday and the day before it.
I'm considering thinking of planning to consider expanding it to multiple papers...
It features much more public transport than my normal cities, with many monorail stations, and road designs to make cars just about useless - there are no road bridges to the outside world. I tried using that design for a city in SimCity 4 too, and it actually solved the traffic problems extremely well.
I started on the small island east of the coast, then expanded on to the inner island. There is a mesa/cliff in the central/western part of the city seperating parts of it from each other, with some staircases along the cliff.
Anyone else who want to post their city drawings? :P

I feel a bit like re-drawing Blaland because all the water looks so strange, then I don't know if I should do it by hand or com, I think hand would be fastest, but then all the scanning is messy, I have to redo the borders on com anyway, and gaahhh...
I like the idea of drawing it in a way that fits into the Blaist Blaland official map.

Project draw Kolkax has begun
Center sheet
(http://i.imgur.com/iL3U4Ni.jpg)
-
Some notes (mostly for myself):
I estimate 1 pixel around Kolkax on the USF map as roughly 5-10 km long and pick 8 km by 8 km as rough convention.
From satellite photos of cities I estimate my drawings show roughly 1.2 km by 2 km on each paper sheet. I take a guess between the two taking into account the A4 dimensions and decide the long axis is 1.8 km on each A4 paper as a rough convention.
I guess I'll have to make a lot of drawings before worrying significantly about deviating from the map.
Anyway here's some progress on the drawing with contrast enhanced

Finished drawing the city. I don't think I'll draw outside the canals, maybe farms, but probably not. Paper is hard to align and curves too easily so I'd rather draw cities on a harder material in the future.

Thanks kol
In Denmark most railroads are made of computer cables. Maybe that's why

Progress on the city, 2 central pieces are now completely complete.
I had bought 2 packs of 10 paper pieces, but sadly I found that all the paper in the second pack is too short on one of the axes for the A4 format. Fortunately it wasn't the pack I began drawing on. It'd make it absolutely impossible to align a bigger number of papers. I haven't investigated it in detail so I really hope it's just that one pack that's bad and not the other pack that's also a bit too short or something... Anyway pics
Notably easier to align after scanning onto comp than Kolkax (increased contrast on upper image)

Now the city covers 15 A4 papers and reaches out to its first major ring road. I still need to color many buildings within the ring road, though.

lol I wouldn't be able to do that just because cats everywhere
-
Well sometimes I feel the same, except woodlice and not cats. I'm kind of afraid of them gnawing or excrementing on my precious drawings. Just yesterday night, a wild woodlouse was spotted approaching the city from the east, but I managed to impose border control and redirect it kindly out of my window. But another day I also found a giant woodlouse, the size of an apartment complex, sitting in the city. A bit scary.
#woodlouseproblems
-
Cats are much more devastating though because if you're not constantly vigilant they'll come over to it and paw at it and crumple up the paper so you have to store them in a folder inside a drawer in the closet to stop it.
-
I think you underestimate the power, determination and itch for destruction of a wild gang of woodlice

Take a pic next time

wowo what drawing item do you use (as in pen pencil etc
-
I use pencil, often I need to use eraser on the drawings and use weak pencil strokes for draft roads. Some day I'd like to make a city with colored pencils so it doesn't look so fifty shades of gray.

how do you feel about using up entire planets to build that thing >:(
-
well they were uninhabited, by any forms of life, but i guess bad for the immediate and long term gravitational effects on nearby planets, which were most likely not but had a small chance of being inhabited
-
how the kazoo does it not collapse into a star
-
Throughout the ship there are large constructs that basically cancel out the natural gravity of the ship, causing it to not collapse into a black hole.

Made a rail map back in November, and a video with stuff from November. I've drawn a bit more on the northeast part since.
