Macau, Unfinished

Macau has always been a simple project, just make a good image of the facade of the Ruínas de São Paulo. Using Google Maps, I found a suitable image and go to work, making this:

Previously, I used a different view and an 8-bit filter:

It was interesting, but didn't fit the style.

Still, a good version of Macau evades me, but I am happy to stick with the first one for now. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong view, the wrong landmark, or the wrong time of day. We'll see where this one goes in the future.

Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia

I remember a friend telling me about a beautiful lake with stunning reflections. (An interested conversation because they were Chinese and there is a similar place in China called Qinghai.) I found a good image of the lake, dried and showing the salt flats. With a lot of time and a limited color palette, the final tile is complete. Enjoy.

Angels Falls, Venezuela

This is the last tile I have made for a while. I gotta get back to making more.

Breakthrough in France

France is full of iconic of places and it was easy to choose the Arc de Triomphe. But there is a lot of beautiful, but difficult detail on it and I wanted to capture all of it. I used my experience with layers, shadows and differing transparency levels to get this final result: The most rewarding part of the tile was slowly adding the shadowed reliefs. I kept adding details while zoomed in, only focusing on the outline of each shadow without seeing the full picture. The completed result was beyond my expectation.
