I created this from scratch with the image below. I will be completing the rest of it at a later date. This is Buffalo, NY City Hall.

I look forward to your continued development of the building. You will give Buffalo, NY residents and city workers the heebie jeebies, so watch your back!
 
I miss this post , my concern is the shadows between the old destroy building and the one revealed, they look like 2 separate images rather than one bomb out one, the perspective at the top left of the building is out and with the rest of the left side. If you look at the perspective buildings on to the left and right you will see what I mean as they fall away to the rear, inwards and towards the rear, where the one at the top falls in the wrong direction, and outwards.

Keep going, good effort.
 
The other thing that always bothered me about apocalyptic scenes is they have trees growing out of 30 story buildings near the top, but in reality this would more than likely not happen, but I could be wrong.

I would say in real time if a tree has grown at the top of the building the jungle which it would be under by now would cover it anyway and you wouldn't see it.

I see some fabulous manipulation videos on you tube only to be disappointed when they shove a tree up near the top, and you can still see main street clear as day with hardly any, but all the carnage.
 
FYI, what stood out to me is the columns and the floors that sustained damage they're all nice and straight, they should have a jagged bent look to them in my opinion, but all in all looks like you might've had fun.
 
The ruin is very nice done...:-) But the wasted black sky looks very very improvised... And in addition I doubt the building would be so bright in such a dark location. What about some scarlet or dark violet cloudy sky - or something it that style, do you know what I mean :-) - and adequate lighting of the ruin...?
