Top Pixel Art - December 2017 (#7)
definitely has a photographic quality about it, nice work! 
Nice coloring here, I'm getting a New Mexico desert kind of feel (even though you imagined water below).
Lol that Eiffel Tower copyright is one of the weirdest I've ever heard of. I think that site might be allowed to show the images because it's still sunset and the lights haven't fully come on yet.
First off, that website has pcitures of the Eiffle Tower at night....interesting.
Anyway, thanks for the tips. I will keep them in mind when making my next big piece (if net neutrality does not die/is revived in the near future). I appreciate your help.
mmmokay, But I don't see any connection between beeing accurate / photorealitstic and having a good composition / framing.
Studying a render shouldn't be a reason for bad camera work if you ask me. In fact, camera position, lens and lightening are what makes a good photo.
If you want to dig this subject and improve your futur work I would suggest to take a look at those guidelines.
The distance from the first set of supports to the second set would be enough for the next set of supports to be behind the "camera". Bridges to not typically have objects such as ladders connecting the ground to the bridge itself unless it goes over water. I had this in mind when I made the bridge. The reason these ladders exist is to allow workers to go from the bridge to the area below where there are typically boat bumpers. The reason I added all of that was to give the image some variety (a.k.a. because I could). Why am I saying this? The distance between supports where boats traverse is wider. This furthers to the point I made above. I do appreciate your help, but I made this piece to be as accurate as I could paying special attention to angles, lighting, and of course, my three techniques. I used the logic I stated as a tool to make the image.
This is an interesting exercise, very impressive use of dithering and AA. My only problem here is that this piece lack the "photographic eye" or composition.
Here is a very quick edit using 1/3 placing with addition of a first plan to add depth and interest.
Hope that help.
I updated the ramp link since I accidently screwed it up. The image is taken from a screenshot of Paint.net's color menu, and when the color menu is not hovered over, it becomes semi transparent. The colors before was the Urban Teal palette over a gray background. My bad!
This is totally something else.
Ambient occlusion effect is superbly done.
It's quite simple. Get good form, and follow the steps I posted.
Beautiful work, I can only imagine what must have taken to get that photorealistic feel. I could definitely learn from this, keep it up!
Amazing! I like the sense of depth of the image and the color palette is very nice. Good job!
Ayy, thats pretty good. Still think dithering isnt good for photorealistic art, but I'd rather have this done than spend time arguing and correcting it
This is an interesting piece, and I like how you explain your techniques.
Your image and the Ramp use different colors, though.
Did you index paint parts of this (I'm not judging, just interested)? I would love to see the reference you used (if any). What is the underside of the bridge (deck) made of? Is it wood?
when I saw this and looked at the color count
I was like No way this has only 18 colors but it does
the mix of amazing dithering and a well-crafted color palette
I also love the ambient occlusion present 
Great finished product, love the clusters and dithering :)
I actually thought this was a photo from the preview, so great work on the photo-realistic part. Even more impressive that it's only 18 colors. Have some love!
Wow, this is great. You've done a great job of pulling off the photographic look!
Great piece, the anti aliasing is very clean, and the dithering was unnoticeable from far, also great perspective in here.
