My latest addition to Pixeldam. The sidewalk and lampposts are from the Pixeldam base and not made by me. I show them here because the shadows/wet surface is important for this piece. Visit Pixeldam if you wish to view this in the hood :)

Wow!! There's so many little details here and there... I love those shadows

I love the casted shadows and the light on the tree.

The "black and white" here seems perfect.

.. I used to watch a lot of film noir.

Chateau Noir means like black cat or something right?

Dino502Run (Level 6 Serial Killer) @ 10/22/2009 16:22

youre right

jalonso (Level 11 Godfather) @ 10/7/2009 17:47

But then there would be no shadows : |

Dino502Run (Level 6 Serial Killer) @ 10/7/2009 17:32

I don't like the people, they are sort of in the way, but that is really well done!!!!!!! :D

Slemsvamp (Level 6 Serial Killer) @ 12/30/2008 19:27

You really used the colors very well, and I absolutely love the window that lights up, very nice touch!

jalonso (Level 11 Godfather) @ 10/26/2008 21:38

Very true, Jim16. These were colors given to me by the template and I did not choose them. The do have a good Old Time Film look which is why I went with this noir look. Good catch, btw. I noticed the oddity when making this.

Damian (Level 9 Federal Agent) @ 10/26/2008 16:18

Wow, all those greys are desaturated reds and greys and browns etc, but still good.

Chace (Level 5 Captain) @ 10/22/2008 03:20
