Artist's Comments

Anyone who had been watching me long enough should remember my first submission of this old scrap more than a year and half back. I wasn't able to carry on completing it before because of insufficient skills.

Got back to work on this a month or two back, finally taking a stab on perspective pixel art. It turned out better than expected; much of the image is exactly as planned, including the buildings, pedestrians and vehicles (including the boat below). This is part 2 of the "life of a bridge" series. It just show the bridge surving its function, bridging two sides of a river in the middle of a city.

I'm not too happy with the buildings though, espcially the windows; it's still tough to have them fit in with the scene's perspective. I'm not too fond of the colour of the buildings either; it doesn't look desaturated enough to me.

This probably took a total of about a month's worth of working time. I don't really know for sure; I sort of lost track.

:slow:

Completely done in MS Paint with 130 colours, except for image conversion, of course.

EDIT: How appropiate. It's almost 5-5-05 and my pageview just broke the 5555 barrier.

EDIT (5 May): Changed colour of bridge under ~pixelblink's advice; fixed a few minor slip-ups as well. More changes to be made.

EDIT (5 May, again): Followed `gas13's suggestions on the shading, shadow dropping and minor colour change for pure white.

EDIT (7 May): Added more detailed reflections on river. That is all.

What can I say? Excellent pixel work. Definately quite cool and well executed. Great job with the buildings especially!

Absolutely amazing. The detail on the textures is amazing, especially the clouds. The reflections are a really nice detail. This is just wonderful.
:iconikomi:
The composition, depth and variety of textures make this very eye-catching. Also like the implied sense of movement in different directions (people, boat, bus, etc.) -- lively piece. :)

I love the detail inside the bridge's brickwork. A lot of insiginficant detail put into this that no one would ever notice. So well done. +fav

You should include some dshh on the water.
Thats what my friends thinks anyway.
I like it, I don't like the black lines, but the rest is real nice.
:iconpixelblink:
I think it's pretty f'n great! The colours on the buildings are perfect.. it's just the colour of the bridge that makes it look a bit weird or out of place. Still, a masterful piece that obviously took alot of time even without reading your description. +fav

Dshh? What's that?

Share your kindness, not your hate.
Love the art, before yourself.

Meditate on this.
