Lake Shore Driveby ~dirktiede

Traditional Art / Drawings / Other

My latest obsessive Chicago background piece. Pen & Ink, 22"x 10", ~30hrs. Minimal touchup and graytones in Photoshop.

Extrapolated the angle from panoramic photos taken from Navy Pier (off the page to the left) and the observation deck of the Hancock Building (tallest building in the foreground), and a little help from Google Earth to help with building placement.

Taken from my comic, Paradigm Shift. You can read it here: www.paradigmshiftmanga.com

I know from personal experience how easy it is to make a skyline look like a massive jumbled mess of blocks and bricks. You knocked this out of the goddamn park, though!

Would you have any issue with me coloring it as a practice piece?

So long as you link to the original, be my guest. Let me know what you come up with.

A lot of work on this piece mate. A really excellent work. Congratulations.

This kind of quality is what separates the men from the boys, so to speak. I am in awe--well done.

You crazy Chicago manga-ka, drawing crazy detailed cityscapes, making all us others feel like slackers. You go now! Go! Be bigshot comic boy, married to laser science girl! GO! GO I SAY!

btw, you missed a window on one of the buildings. Yeah, it's just there, to the left, the one with the windows, with one missing. That's the one.

My Parents are hopefully taking me back to Chicago after X-mas.
