Contrasts

By TekindusT,

@Tonraq: Overwhelming, isn't it? @Jorge_carrillo: ¡Gracias! @jmsepe: Actually, the condo is quite near the "center", but I took the pic with the sea as a background. Thanks for commenting! @Schulmanator: Thank you very much! @Fox: Thanks, many thanks! Today I'm showing more Al-Qurayyah love! @NielsC007: Thanks for commenting! @slickbg56: Yeah, when I saw this building uploaded, I inmediately thought it had something quite unique, something that deserved a CJ update! And I looked hard for a nice spot for it...

Smoking on the Balcony

By TekindusT,

@Tonraq: Working on it! @sarthakknight: Anything involving Ecclestone easily qualifies as fishy, I think. [...] You know... I'm frequently asked why I'm in love with Al-Qurayyah. People in the world tend to feel almost a religious devotion for cities like New York, Tokyo or London, but definetely not for this city. As Dubai or Abu Dhabi, Al-Qurayyah is also regarded as a bunch of steel, glass and concrete all piled up along a road thanks to the oil; while low-paid inmigrants work in inhuman conditions. It...

Imagine...

By TekindusT,

@ggamgus: Thank you for commenting! @Pwel28: Thanks! Maxis has been epically owned so many times during these last 10 years that it must hurt. @MilitantRadical: Mee too! Thanks for commenting! @elavery: Thanks! This one was never disappeared... @fan o SC4: It is always funnier to post pictures with a story behind, isn't it? Thanks for commenting! @sartakknight: Thank you very much! @NielsC007: Thanks for your constant support! @Ln X: Don't thank me, thank teemu_om for one of the most extraordinary BATs...

Late Night

By TekindusT,

@Bastet69008: Thank you! I have to say that this FAR runway is so classy...! @Benedict: Thanks! I bet the people would found the party anyways without using the lighthouse, but better making it sure! @KonstantinII: Thank you for your comment! Yes, it is one of the "landmarks" of the city, I'm so proud of it! @yayaya1: Thank you! Well, actually I learnt from the middle east masters. suplado!, _marsh_, TowerDude, elavery, Frogface; are some of the names to follow when going this style.. @MilitantRadical:...

Nothing but Al-Qu

By TekindusT,

@MilitantRadical: Thanks! Sure you're a VIP for tonight's session! @KonstantinII: At the LEX, here [link]. @Huston: Thank you! Only a few people pay some attention to them when city-building, I am one of them who actually pays attention! @k50: Thanks for commenting! Like father, like son, right? @Schulmanator: Get a second round of it today! @Gugu3: Thank you! @city89: Thanks for asking; see my reply to KonstantinII! @Ultimate727: Today another world-class DJ has the honour of playing at Zenith......

@Benedict: Thanks, Ben! @Schulmanator: Vote for change, vote for TekindusT! @raynev1: Thank you! @nedal2001: Thanks! After all, we are here to show off our cities, isn't it? @SimCoug: Thank you! @sri1: Thanks! @Gugu3: Thank you too! ------------------------------------------------- So, Friday night! Time to carefully choose some fancy clothes, the best shirt for guys, the highest high heels for girls (of course, always matching with the dress and the bag!), have a shower with some dance music, get shaved,...

@MilitantRadical: Thank you! Yeah, it's taken quite a long time, before leaving and these last weeks when I arrived home! @Benedict: Thank you! (but in a crazy way) @sri2: Thanks! Yes, it is placed on an area where it stands a lot, and its contrast among the Middle-Eastern traditional buildings is quite drammatic. @Forthwall: Thank you! @TowerDude: Thanks! A the very end, what it looks like a challenge it turns on your way, because you only have to articulate the whole city around a large and important...

Panoramic Views

By TekindusT,

@elavery: As SimCoug said, it is The Cobb Oceanic building, quite one of the first masterpieces the STEX saw in a far away past, year 2004. @Forthwall: Thanks! It is a WIP right now, needs far more progress on it. @MilitantRadical: Thank you! @SimCoug: Thank you! Glad you liked the regional pic, the Region Census thing makes things much more easier than printing screen and stitching the pictures! @Hazani Pratama: Thank you! @evanm1847: Thanks and thanks for following me! @Benedict: Thank you, glad you...

@Benedict: Glad you liked it, I still remember it took quite some time to make everything work seamlessly! @ggamgus: Thanks! @ForthWall: Well, saying "Happy New Year to you also" in August can be a bit pointless... But thanks! @Fox: Thank you, great you liked it! @SC4L0ver: ¡Muchas Gracias! @Schulmanator: Thank you too! @Ace <3: Thanks and happy new year in August! @dubaidude303: Thank you! @Hazani Pratama: Your comment was awesome too! @raynev1: Thanks! There's no place for boredom in Al-Qurayyah, if your...

Happy New Year 2013

By TekindusT,

@Benedict: Thank you my friend. Today, a nighty update! @ForthWall (ex-Mastof): Thanks! I'd be much more scared if there was a fire and I was at the top floor... @Mithrik: I'm not specially happy of how the refinery turned out. I'm aiming for 10^13's refinery style, but this requires a good amount of lot edition. @ggamus: Thank you! Only showing buildings is a bit boring, isn't it? @TowerDude: Thanks! The RHW in the middle is one of the souls of Al-Qurayyah. I had to plan the whole city around it instead...

Daily Routine

By TekindusT,

@dubaidude303: Thank you! Always inspired by Dubai here! @Jacob Guajardo: ¡Gracias! @Blakeway: Thanks! @SimCoug: Thank you! In fact, I'm populating the coasts bit by bit as I take pictures of them. Ploping everything in a single streak would be a quite long and repetitive task... @urbanconstanta: Thank you! @SC4L0ver: Muchas gracias! I'm specially proud of that region shot, the next one will be taken with the Census Repository Tool. @Schulmanator: An emirate without tons of shopping malls? Impossible!...

Neighbourhood exploration

By TekindusT,

All: Thank you very much for your comments! Hazani Pratama: Thank you!elavery: Despite being placed in the Middle East and being fueled by oil and gas, I think both nations differ a lot from each other; and this is great to see in SC4! dubaidude303: Answered your question in the previous comments section. Alejandro24: As I tell to elavery, it is so cool to see that, even though there are several Middle Eastern CJs out there, there are a lot of differences between them, each one has its own style and its...

Serious Business

By TekindusT,

All: I see you've generally liked the airport, I'm so glad to hear this. This has been my first two-city tiles airport (in the next post I'll try to show an overview where you'll see that. Its construction from its inception to the final details took around 15 hours more or less (5 hours during 3 days) excluding the photoedition I had to do to solve some issues... Thank you all for your comments!! Fox, Benedict, k50, IL., Gugu3, Numbers, Evillions, SC4L0ver: I personally hate how in-game monorail looks. It...

All: Thank you all for your comments! TowerDude: There's evil in all cities in the world; but here, it looks shiny. Blakeway: So do I! Jimmy Buzaid: Yes, this is my new CJ, I wanted to try my hand at something new. Benedict: dubaidude303 x2: Be patient! As for the building, you can get it here elavery x2: No competition here, I'm the newbie trying to imitate what I've seen in masterpieces like yours and some others! Mastof: Hope the same! NMUSpidey x2: The colour saturation slider makes the magic for me. I...
