Atomium, Belgium

Belgium; a land of airy waffles, decadent chocolate and a wide variety of beer. But when it comes to famous sites, I struggled with finding a site that other people could identify. I know that the Expo '58 Atomium isn't that famous, but it is iconic and a fun challenge. I'm pleased to get convincing chrome spheres with just 3 colors. Both the building and the tile are a simple construction, just needed to be done carefully. Enjoy!

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.

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.
