i gave these to a client a while back. they were to give them a sense of the building and were not intended to be photo-real or anything like that. both done in sketchup.

That is fantastic. There needs to be more architects like you out there.

Aye, but it's not about loneliness.

I always tell applicants the the Planning Commission or Council is going to ask if they are go to provide everything that is shown in the renderings. They don't like to be deceived. So if it's not part of the project, don't show it.

I personally like the A-team and Batmobile.
I have a local sign company that always puts Steve Martin in all his renderings.

And where are the piles of dog doo? A realistic rendering would have to show a couple dogs doing their business and the owners looking nonchalantly away before walking off, leaving a steaming pile.

I think the "fashion" poses come from fashion magazines or the newspaper ads. They are copied and resized to match the location in the perspective as needed. Also, if you do just the outline, it is very quick, no need to select proper clothing colors, or possible conflicts with building/background colors, and it's harder to prove plagiarism.

Howard used to be one of my favorite renderers.

Exagerated yellows and blues are apparently the "in" coloration now.

Still see balloons and flags for ambiance.

There also seems to be a distinction in my mind between renderings that go for the photorealistic look and are usually done entirely in a 3-D rending program and more stylized takes where people are transparent, the lighting and backgrounds are post processed in photoshop, and there is a stronger collage sense about the rendering.

I find that the latter of these images are the ones that take the most liberties with reality, usually in respect to the fact that so many people would be doing something like hanging out in a plaza beneath a bridge or making creative use of abstract site furnishings.

I like the hand renderings because they are very honestly deceptive about their cartoonishness. I wouldn't expect a place to look like a hand rendering. In Photoshop, flowers are in bloom all the time and garbage does not exist.

The bottom half of the sculpture(?) can be an additional bike rack.
Suggestions for the top half?

We have an on-going project where an airport land use committee member commented that a plane could "veer" off it's fly zone and crash into our project's urban core. We created a street section just to illustrate that could never happen

This one is worth a thread bump.

Ho hum, typical hotel pool area. Don't you hate it, though, when you're trying to catch a few rays and some Sports Illustrated swimsuit model starts posing suggestively in front of you and blocks the sun? Most annoying.
