My mistake ... sorry ... that was just a pic with dithering based on luis royo's art with atari ST restrictions ... nothing more  ... i've removed all this shit ... end of activity here

Arachne, the purpose of this dithering is : "complexity".
without dithering, the sky look like too simple, "empty". I think C-Rem would prefer to complicate his picture so he used a funky dither (Exocet style). like in so many pictures ST, i think, the funky dither is just a method for adding abstract detail to avoid having large featureless areas.

I don't really see the point of your Atari ST pieces if they're all just color reduced or traced, and I must say I prefer the originals to your copies. In the case of this particular piece, the copy is a lot less detailed and the background seems too busy compared to the tranquil atmosphere of the original. It seems like you're dithering just for the sake of dithering and not giving the effect any thought. I don't think the added contrast and saturated colors are an improvement, either. Maybe you'd be better off starting from scratch with something your own and learning from there?

Wow.. It has very good atmosphere, thanks to color choices. I love it!

I bet there is a reference for this?

This looks handmade to me.
This is excellent, I love your style. The dithering of the sky is very interesting.

I zoom it and watch pixel by pixel. It is not looks like 'handmade' work. May I ask for WIP?

Very nice piece!!!

is reaaaaaaaaaaally good ^^
