Amex Illustration - Help needed!

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

Hello one and all, I have decided to dust off my (digital) paint box and get to work on drawing our beloved stadium. The idea I had in my minds eye was a Bayern tapestry style 'walkthrough' of the stadium, including everything, right down to the Harvery Ale stands.

The trouble I am having is that all the decent photos I can find online of the Amex are either too small or without any fans in them.

This is a call to arms for anyone with a decent camera to lend me their photos to draw from. If anyone has any already, could you please post them in here.

The bigger, the better, and the more people, the better. I need photos of EVERYTHING, so don't hold back.

Here's a very rough sketch I just bashed out to give you some idea of the style it will be in:

When I am finished (I expect to put a good few hours, days and weeks into this) I will post it up here so anyone can print it out, if they should so fancy. And of course, if its any good.

Cheers!

I'm loving that... it is almost the view from my seat!

There are literally HUNDREDS of Jack Straws photos threads on here...

for example...

JS's FINAL American Express Community Stadium Watch No.125 (17/6/11) Inside Special.

thats so much better than I could do if I spent hours on it! That view is the opposite end to me. Great work

It will look more polished when I've put some real hours into it, hopefully. Here's some previous doodles:

Sorry, but I can't help chuckling at "Bayern tapestry"



Was that the German version?

Can you put the east upper tier in and fill in the corners?

I've been calling it that for years. Not that it comes up in much conversation. How embarrassing.

Too late to edit it now, so I'll just have to continue to look like a plonker.

Luckily I'm an incredible illustrator and I've run up a rough sketch of something that might be helpful to you. Uploading now. Quite a large file due to the quality of the image.

I've seen the Bayern tapestry: it's the same but soldiers are all wearing lederhosen.
