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

They need to tone the flash of those down. It's distracting in the daytime but at night that shit is BLINDING

It's in the background behind the car and forward intersection.

Notice what side of the road that car is on.

ThatBaldFella t1_jd9xgr7 wrote

No I mean the right lane along the line of sight. It would make sense that traffic turning right would have a green light at the same time as traffic coming from the right.

Maybe a yield, but a green? That's unsafe forsure

g1ngertim t1_jda5v8n wrote

Maybe the intersection is the beginning of a one-way zone.

ShiftSouth t1_jdagy4f wrote

Again, a yeild would make sense but not a green. Why would they have two directions green into the same lanes, that's so unsafe

You're not thinking of it the way I am, but I can't find a way to explain it properly without pictures, and I'm not up for drawing pictures right now.

Is that why they have the most draconian traffic laws and enforcement? Holy crap.

chet_brosley t1_jdaocru wrote

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.

Hi all! This pixel art animation is 320x200px using 10 colors and 80 hand drawn frames. I doubled the resolution for viewing purposes. If it wasn't for those 4 green pixels it would be 9 colors :D Hope you enjoy it <3

Why is there both a red and green light for the stopped car?

DelusionalSeaCow t1_jdb3apy wrote

It's a DC intersection, there's two intersections I know of where both directions lights face the same way.

Why choose a confusing (only two known) for a generic pixel art. Just looks wrong. And what's the flashing spots thing?

Love it. How does a 320x200px image work as wallpaper in the case of the steam wallpaper engine?

Cat_Marshal t1_jdatyhg wrote

It would probably look bad unless it scaled the pixels properly. Pixel art can scale fine.

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.

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.

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?

ChunkyLaFunga t1_jd9bmp0 wrote

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.

Makes it sound more impressive to increase engagement?

Like the classic, "I woke up at 2 am and hiked 4000 miles just to take this photograph"

GeroVeritas t1_jd8rwkw wrote

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?

Ohd34ryme t1_jd8x6mt wrote

Some countries drive on the other side of the road.

GeroVeritas t1_jd94sd3 wrote

And so there is no need for a green light to show that side of the road....lol

PinkSlipstitch t1_jday24e wrote

That car is clearly on the right hand side of the road, stopped at the light, yet the other car passes behind it.

Thank you so much!

Salanin t1_jd8qdzd wrote

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.

2

v78 OP t1_jd8vm72 wrote

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.

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!

The shimmering of the sun on the pole is just CHEFS KISS

MyLifeIsAFacade t1_jd9t5nk wrote

but it doesn't make any sense considering both the sun and pole are relatively static objects. The shimmering should be constant and then never seen again once the sun moves.

Simulated camera/eye movement and/or the wind on the pole

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.

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

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.

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.

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!
