This is why some folks take a helicopter-view photo of some major city and superimpose their art on top of it. But not you! No... you stick to your guns. Upholding your integrity, no matter the cost. Sanity? Who needs it? What we do need is a painstakingly detailed residential district!
Yes! Of course! It might take hours of your life and frustrate you no end with finicky detailing, but at the end of the day, it's ultimately so much more satisfying when people then look at it and say...
"...er, dude... why didn't you just use a photo?"
Lol!
Besides, turns out it's more than just a residential district. It wasn't until I was reliably informed by somebody who is more than a little familiar with that particular impending-footprint area that I'd inadvertently drawn quite accurate representations of half the Brown University campus.
Well here's a Brit talking. I didn't even know Brown was in Providence...

Yes, kudos for drawing it out instead of photomontaging.
DINOSAURS DON'T PHOTOMONTAGE
NO. They DRAW.
I mean, it's a bit of a fiddle what with the tiny arms and all. But it's the PRINCIPLE, DAMN IT!
Heh! Thanks Diablo!

Only when you sit on them. (And if they have lots of pointy buildings.)
I know how hard it is, but it worked very well with your style. Going with some photo is probably the best way to get a credible layout I realize. I always find it the hardest to decide where to put buildings in my city scenes.
I fail to appreciate most of the characters you use, but you hit them very well, going with the original facts and adding your attitude in a very convincing way.
And I like the style. And that cute city, that still conveys a very unique flair thanks to way you did it instead of putting grey blocks everywhere until you get bored of it, then just draw some crisscross lines near them and pretend it's streets, or doing one of these ugly photomontages, aka the usual (mega) macro attempts.
Yeah, I don't like them. In fact, I don't like any picture that just uses a photograph for the background. It's either art or a lazy collage.
(Just my opinion, of course!
)
Thanks Blue! Glad the effort was appreciated. As I mentioned above, turns out I drew a lot of stuff that Rhode Island 'locals' actually recognised, which kinda added to the fun!

YAY! Brian!
This looks awesome!!!
I wonder what Stewie would think right now
Not sure whether he'd be terrified, in love with Brian or just enjoying the anarchy.
Lol! Thanks Laura!
