Here's my WIP right now, Its me, Pixel pushing. I thought i'd go with the more abstract/playful idea than try to get too serious. I think the Background needs some work. I wanna keep the piece grayscale except for the "pixels". Any ideas will be appreciated.

Thanks!

Edit: I also wanted the light source to be coming from the "pixels" so any advice on that would be helpful.

Anything? Anyone? nothing? Really?

@Jaker Pot, Good idea kinda weak/boring palette...too many in the same range.

Your idea is really interesting. Just try to increase the contrast using vivid/less satured colors. It would be magnific.
