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.

Lesotho, in depth

I have been working on a few new tiles and I wanted to go through a little of the process of of putting one of these together. Let's look at my tile for Lesotho. Lesotho is famous for its ponies and majestic Drakensberg Moutains. I sourced a few pictures: - a horse and rider (to be adjusted with a Basotho hat) - misty mountains - and the Three Rondavels (famous mountains in the Drakensbergs) The misty mountains have the color scheme and some the mountains. The silhouette of the Three Rondavels become the rest of the background and some of the foreground. The horse and rider silhouette with a proper hat finishes the tile.
