Samkir--Update Two (3/28)

[TheSixCents]

It Means "Great and Fair Republic".
Please leave me alone, though.

EDIT: OK, I think we've exhausted the debate on the correct usage of Russian, Azerbaijani, or any other alphabets. TheSixCents has explained his reasoning for using the alphabet that he has chosen and, since it's his MD, is free to use any alphabet he desires. Let's move away from this, shall we? - Dustin (thundercrack83)

I think your city is great 6cents, no matter where it is!  Keep up the good work!  I really like the vivid colors!

[Glenni]

It's pretty good actually, nice lotting work!

Great update there SixCents.  I've been to the "real" Yerevan in Armenia and they have (or had, it was 1997) LOTS of grey buildings, but some pretty amazing large squares/plazas.  I think many of your pictures capture this, particularly the last three.  I seem to recall the trams they had were big very grey looking things!  I am sure things have changed now though.

Really like the multi-coloured dome building and the use of diagonals.  And the embassy is pretty cool as well.

And don't worry about what people say about the writing/alphabet, you are developing your own style MD here and it's a good one.

Keep it up SixCents and you'll have a popular MD on your hands

Hehe, just read your reply to my comment, that's really flattering I'm glad you like my MD and I must say that I really like yours as well. The saturation reminds me alot of our friend iamgoingtoeatyou. And that is not a bad thing mind you. Keep it up! 

[panthersimcity4]

I love this! Very Central Asian/Eastern European. Yjerevan reminds me a bit of Warsaw with the buildings, and the canal/river reminds me of Berlin.  Keep it up!

[Mulefisk]

Great update. Great photoshopping and good layouts. Turning down the saturation a bit on a couple of the pictures gives a nice atmosphere.

Looking forward to the next update.

Update Two:
Авеню Республики, or Avenue of the Republic, is another main thoroughfare in Yjervan City.
It runs through South Yjervan, a district that has shown alot of growth recently.

That's all for today, I will show single pictures of the area tomorrow or Sunday. Cheers!

[Heblem]

[BigSlark]

Great MD, TheSixCents. I really like the Eastern Europe redeveloping feel of your cities.

Cheers,

Samkir is now a free nation, ruled by God and his Prophet,  Archbishop Suren Akopovich.

the  Fashion Capital of Samkir.

Sorry but I can't help myself, I find this quite funny,... what kind of fashion statements do we get from the Archbishop, another Nun's habit in black this spring? 

I really like the images you have presented to us so far, lots of strong colours and a nice mix of old and new buildings. The Grand Avenue is looking magnificent.

[bat]

That new mosaic is looking wonderful there!! Great work on the avenue!

[Pat Riot]

great mosiac, how do the boats get through to the other side of the canal though? shouldn't that be a bridge?

[metasmurf]

Now that's what I would consider a splendid mosaic.

[Simpson]

Very good I want more  :thumbsu ;Dp:

[callbat]

Excellent work, this is one truly stunning mosaic 

[CabraBuitre]

Can't wait...  I really like this MD!

[Simfan34]

Wow, this is amazing!
New Burgundy would love to open relations with Samkir
