Update to the Austin Skyline

When I finished the Austin skyline back in 2011, the U.S. Courthouse on 5th St. was not yet complete. I had to leave a little hole there, knowing that I'd come back to it in the future. Well, the future is now. The courthouse is complete, and I've dropped it into the illustration.

New York City Skyline: Update #12

New York City Skyline
Hey. Sup. Long time no post. Here's the current status of the NYC Skyline. Looks pretty close to done, but there is a lot of detail in there that still needs to be filled in. New buildings since last update include 375 Pearl St. (AKA The Verizon Building) and the Thurgood Marshall U.S. Courthouse. Zoom below.

I started working on the right side a little more. Particularly the area underneath the Brooklyn Bridge. You can see a little of the Manhattan Bridge under there. The midtown skyline, including the Empire State Building, above the bridge has filled out a little more. Here's a closer look at that area:

The most prominent new addition this week is 8 Spruce Street. (aka New York by Gehry). The Woolworth Building is peaks its (unfinished) head out from behind One Seaport Plaza, as does Barclay Tower from behind 175 Water Street. Here's a close-up:

New York City Skyline: Update #9


I'm getting excited as the two sides of this come together and I get a little glimpse of what the final finished piece will look like. It's hard to put a percentage on how complete it is at this point, but I think it's safe to say I'm past 50%. New buildings this week: 175 and 180 Water St., and 160 Front St. I've started filling in Pier 17 and the South Street Seaport, but I'll talk more about that next update when it will be more complete. Here's a closer look at some of the newer stuff:
