Thanks @SeDiceBisonte for such warm words! I struggle making more than "Cool!" and "Awesome!" even when I like the work pretty much :) No doubt English and UK's scenes in general can be extremely cosy. I've been living in the UK for 5 years and can't stop admiring local reserved but warm cosiness, whether it's a country side or semi-industrial area.
Lovely ambience, and the details give it such a sense of place (the 5 star hygiene rating in the window made my day).
Sometimes I feel envious of artists in far-flung countries who create wonderfully atmospheric scenes, but you have shown me a few times now that you can capture the atmosphere of British streets in a way that makes me feel warm inside. I'm much further north, but I can think of a few places that have a similar feel.
Having Googled the Black Eye, it looks like you've really nailed it.
Thanks Mathias! Yeah, will experiment on glass surface and plot further. Appreciate your feedback!
Cool little scene! I like the warm interior colors with the cooler outside.
I know this is unsolicited feedback, but - I don't think the 50% dithering is working. My eye is really pulled to it.
Diagonal streaks in glass instead? If it were me I might go for the alpha transparency option.
One other thought I have looking at this - to give the scene a little more narrative vibe - if the seated guy was looking towards the bald guy and speaking, maybe even raising his hand to get his attention, I feel like it would probably create a more interesting moment in time, because now something is actually happening; there's interaction.
But yeah, ambitious effort. Good one.
