I saw another one of these recently. Why are they so relaxing to look at?

Love this. Would be awesome to see one similar but with a U.S "Small Town Main Street" esque buildings. Same colors/angle though lol I suppose I could try my hand at one but I doubt I have the talent haha this reminds me of a view I used to see so often growing up right when the sun sets JUST behind the horizon, and the whole downtown was lit up orange.

. beautiful!

I think the car coming from the right just ran the light. 😳

Np, I remembered seeing one of your submissions awhile back because of your title format that lists the number of colors. Really impressive stuff. It kind of reminds me of watercolor, which i think of as really accessible and anyone can try, but there is so much skill and nuance to perfecting it. And you are really perfecting your art.

I found my way to this sub from r/cyberpunk for exactly this reason, because posts like this are some of my favorites.

Search for "pixel" in that sub, and sort by top all time. You're welcome.

Edit: Didn't even realize i was in r/gifs ! I thought I was commenting in r/PixelArt . Check that one out too!

I'm confused. The cars are passing behind the car at the light, so that car is on the wrong side of the road. But also why would there be a green light if cross traffic is allowed to go?

Thanks again for the kind words. Watercolor is the hardest for me. I am always impressed when I see the process. I personally have more control over oil colors.

Support you upload it on the wallpaper enginer so I can use it, because the vibe that this art passes is simply inexplicable, amazing!

animado t1_jd90djv wrote

Serious question... Can someone explain why the formula for these posts always includes the number of colors used? Is that critical information for the title?

Not to date myself but...

It makes me think of that old episode of "The adventures of Pete and Pete" where busdriver Stu gets stuck at the red light.

You should look up red scale photography. This reminds me strongly of it.

Great work. I love it.

The original intent of pixel art was to create as much as possible with limited resources, it was a necessity due to technology restrictions at the time.

That intent has been flipped on its head with modern retro art, which uses capable technology to limit expression. There's nothing wrong with that in itself, but it usually misses the point as detail perishes in modern styles while it flourishes in the original. And it doesn't really work, or at least fails in what it initiatives.

This example and I think others I've seen by this artist are great demonstrations of the style by somebody who gets it.

The number of colours used highlights that, and colours/file sizes/memory resources etc were also part of the original reason that pixel art existed.

Edit: Just noticed we're in the GIFs subreddit, colour count directly linked to filesize and in the early days of animated GIFs on the internet it mattered a lot.

I don't know why but your works always make me feel nostalgic, i like them very much.

I really like this.

My only suggestion would be to make the cars more realistic. At the moment their cartoony ‘Jetsons’ look clashes with the realism of everything else.

What's this trend of titles that sound like an AI describing what it did? "I did X and called it Y." Feels weird.

I want to learn how to do something like this, not even a video just this kind of art

DeathRider__ t1_jd9zo2y wrote

Huh. Well I think you accomplished what every artist strives for: to convey an emotion in the viewer. I feel odd about seeing this. Like, there existed another time and world that I was apart of and now it's gone. It's just a sunset, but the style of the vehicles looks older and the time just seems a bit depressing to me.

Well done. But I'm sad for some reason now and I don't want to look at this anymore.

TheRnegade t1_jd9zzsv wrote

This is absolutely fantastic and it's interesting that it's almost all done with just 9 colors (You did say that the small amount of green brings it up to 10, right OP?). Art like this belongs in a museum.

How long does it take to design and produce a scene like this? Does it take up much storage? I have zero knowledge of game design, but games made with pixel art are hands down some of my favorite games to play. I don’t know what it is about this art style but it creates such a visceral experience and atmosphere in a way that other more modern styles do not (in my opinion). I miss those point and click style adventure games.

Anyway, this is beautiful art. Thanks for sharing!

Hmmm I see Red, Green, Black, Brown, White, Orange, Yellow.

What are the last 3? Is it a different shading of one of the mentioned? (like light brown or something)

Driving to work just now someone pulled around me in the shoulder to fly through a solid red light, and whipped into the left lane while still in the intersection. I wait at least three seconds after it's green before I even start to go nowadays.

type_your_name_here t1_jdaqgy9 wrote

For all the commenters saying that car was running the red light…The car stopped is facing a red. The car driving right to left has the green, which can be seen edgewise on angle.

The perspective on the cars/horizon clashes pretty strongly with the perspective of the ground in the foreground.

PinkSlipstitch t1_jdayfgw wrote

Very cool. Just a couple of contradictions:

The car is stopped at a green light, on the right hand side of the road, and the other car passes behind it, instead of in the intersection in front of it.

I get the same soothing feeling. Its like that Pre dusk sunlight. Soothing and calm. That moment when work is done, the night hasn't begun, and just for that 20-30 minutes, you can just do absolutely nothing but listen to the sounds of the world going be.

> was apart of and

Did you mean to say "a part of"?
Explanation: "apart" is an adverb meaning separately, while "a part" is a noun meaning a portion.

When will someone make a pixel art movie with this kind of aesthetic. I feel like I haven’t seen it done before.

Why does the same street have a red light and a green light? I don’t think that car ran a red. I think the lights are malfunctioning.
