I can relate that the stadiums are very time-consuming to do, either hand-drawn (as mine are) or digitized; I eventually didn't have time to finish at least a third of my teams' stadiums, though. Yours are way too cool, and feel free to use any of my stadiums as inspirations in making each stadium unique! good stuff there! including the whole friggin street grid. yea im actually starting to get burned out already, because when i do stuff like this i over analyze it to death. case in point: On 3/28/2016 at 6:56 PM, Darknes said: I'm curious to see how you blend Fenway into a stadium.

MJWalker45 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 "it seems kinda natural the way Fenway is laid out, but the fine line between homage and cornball is tough. trying to come up a practical reason for a green monster wall in a soccer context is annoying the hell outta me! " Since the Monster now carries signage for things like the Jimmy Fund and scores you can always think of placing somethign to show championships. Instead of pennants place a trophy similar to what Arsenal does at the Emirates, or "Soccer Championship Name" and the years won running underneath it.

eick74 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 It looks like the green monster was originally built as a combination scoreboard and advertising wall with a small seating section in front of it. That and too keep spectators who did not pay from watching the game. There is a street that runs right behind it as well. On a soccer field, it could serve a similar purpose and history. The green monster lost the advertisements and became green in 1947 when it was 35 years old. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Monster#/media/File:Green_Monster_1914.jpg http://boston.sportsthenandnow.com/2010/07/01/the-history-of-the-green-monster/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thazer Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share Posted April 2, 2016 it took a few days of pondering... and inspiration from real stadium... but i know how ill do a version of the green monster. it'll be....different.... ...meanwhile....expansion begins! 201603-NYCFC-manhattanfield02.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moser316 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 I see you're blending at least two eras of the Polo Grounds for this one, your designs have been very similar to how British football stadia were developed over their lifespans. It works to great effect here, the two eras actually meld together pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old stadiums which were built over time...that generations grew up with will be demolished, adidas will swoop in for league uniform contracts, ads will appear on them, etc....but not here! */random tangent* 5 hours ago, Moser316 said: I see you're blending at least two eras of the Polo Grounds for this one, your designs have been very similar to how British football stadia were developed over their lifespans.

Pretty sad what happened to the main pavilion. Instead of incorporating it into the expansion..... .... it ended up in the parking lot(!)..... ..... then demolished. ...buuuuut there's artistic justice in the world, so you peeps get this: 201603-NYCFC-manhattanfield03.jpg ...and this: 201603-NYCFC-manhattanfield04.jpg FYI, curved stands is the worst thing ever! Or is it fitting every seat into the curved stands....yea that must be it. For those acquainted with the silly ways of the old Polo Grounds, you'll know i'll have an epic architectural battle with missing parts of this stadium. oh goodie! ..oh yea, all the lower links under the photos should finally...and actually, go to the full size pic at photobucket. also im working on the kit for NYCFC but its just not clicking. i'll prob need C&C on it.

Thazer Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 hah! the only soul sucking work were building up the initial textures and components (posts,seats, girders). Once those are done they can be reused and modified. Then its just a matter of keeping the designs unique. detail shot from box seats showing that practically everything are flat planes 201603-NYCFC-manhattanfield05.jpg view from the standing room area (or..coogans bluff end) 201603-NYCFC-manhattanfield06.jpg not actually being an architect im having trouble with some elements, but ill hammer it out soon.

Thazer Posted April 6, 2016 Author Share Posted April 6, 2016 here's nycfc's kit 201603-NYCFC-KIT.jpg i'm happy with the logo, its the logo sorta clashing with the sash im worrying about. sashes over the left shoulder look wierd to me, and ive never seen a crest on the other side of the chest. the vibe im going for is for an uber conservative team, so i really want the sash for that old timey-ness. ....yea fenway. you guys will love or hate what i have in mind for the monster. me being a LA native has absolutely nothing to do with it. whatever 'it' would be.

OlavoP Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I have no problem with the sash at all, love the kits. Only complaint about them is the outline for the numbers, I think white would look better, at least on the white kit Twitter | Instagram | Behance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Cunningham Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 The sash needs to be flipped on the backs of the jerseys, unless you intend them not to be continuous from front to back. This thread is a lot of fun. As a matter of fact, this is the first thread I've ever subscribed to. Keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlavoP Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 This recreation looks very good, high expectations once again to see this one done. Also, the with the flipped sash (missed that one too) and the white outline the kits look fresh. Keep up the good work.
