Machu Picchu, Peru

Here is another tile for a place I have never been, but somewhere a friend traveled to and I am insanely jealous. Like the shading of the Arc de Triomphe, this scene has a lot of detail based on shadows. The base colors are quite simple, but the shadow transform the picture. I didn't originally want to do all the detail, but I decided to do everything I saw. It was slow and a pain, but the result is fantastic and I am ecstatic about. 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.

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.
