What's the address, street, or intersection, and in what zip code? What's the status? You've given no source for anything.

Isn't there a one diagram per city per illustrator limit to fantasy diagrams?

[LMich]

Oh, so it's a fantasy? It wasn't marked.

Anyway, there is a rule that only a certain percentage of your personal diagram can be fantasies, I believe, but I don't remember the percentage.

Are you serious?

If there is a percentage I'd love to hear the number. Right now I have 3 fantasy drawings, out of 149 total, which makes 98% of my drawings real and 2% of them fantasies.

Koops, This subjective limit came when Vaidas made much more fantasies buildings than his efforts to the real ones, and he continues so doing, which made him to stop. Database has a first princip to draw the real ones first, but each illustrator can have a few ammount of his/her phantasies architectural side as well. But i do not think it your case yet. You have just few ones, comparing other illustrators. If you do all 2500 Toronto buildings draw, then you can make all phantasies you want... I bet you just only, when you request a fantasy to mark such, because then we don't know in what you are referring. And please give a description, a beautiful fantasy interesting facts of your structure as well, to be sure for public, it is fantastic thought. To not confund with normal current buildings.

I have updated the information for this one, and I won't be submitting any more fantasy buildings for a long time. To be honest, I've made so many drawings lately (about 1 a day for the past few months) that I felt I needed a break. I needed to stop concentrating on little details of renders and photos and just draw whatever I felt like. It's time to put my nose back to the grindstone again.

You could just do what Vaidas and I did, draw them but don't upload them.

Koops, I made your entry. http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=83039
Actually I probably expressed myself wrongly or what i wrote is of several meanings... I meant, you can do all fantasies who want, if you ponderate well with the real constructions or buildings and other structures. You have just 3 of 149, which is very acceptable, only 2%. Please continue contributing soon. Thanks.

PS: I will talk about myself. Buildings are harder to draw, because you have to pay atention every single detail and setbacks. So for a refreshment, try making a bridge, a monument, an easier Antenna or tower. Then you mixed up your contribution, love of doing, pleasure and not so much tired of. Doing another structure type is a good positive break of doing buildings highrises sometimes... As suggestion, do a bit different. Go in Drawings' request area and look for an easier one to be done. So you contribute and make someone happy as well...
