Hi, thought i would post my wip for ppl that may be interested in orthographic (iso)pixelart.
MC Escher's Relativity has never been pixeled that i know of, i don't plan to just make an orthographic duplicate of this art but take some creative licence.
Original "Relativity" by MC Escher
This is how i figured out the scale and dimensions of everything Mr Escher made it relatively easy.
WIP1
Using the basic building blocks at the bottom and a lot of copy paste this is stage1 complete. Colours are just place holders.
If you stare at it a while it inverts and flips because of the strict iso grid and the ambiguous nature of the this projection - freaks your brain out after a while
WIP2
This is where i am up to atm just filling in the arched curves and a few details.
No colours or even light direction is final yet.
I use Photoshop CS4, everything is separated on layers atm, will flatten for the final pass.
Plan:
Details
Colour
Shadows
Textures
