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

|||| (Level 6 SWAT) at 5/14/2012 9:19:29 AM

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.

Dino502Run (Level 6 Serial Killer) at 10/22/2009 4:22:39 PM

Chateau Noir means like black cat or something right?

Dino502Run (Level 6 Serial Killer) at 10/22/2009 4:21:36 PM

youre right

jalonso (Level 11 Godfather) at 10/7/2009 5:46:53 PM

But then there would be no shadows : |

Dino502Run (Level 6 Serial Killer) at 10/7/2009 5:32:17 PM

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) at 12/30/2008 7:27:14 PM

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

jalonso (Level 11 Godfather) at 10/26/2008 9:38:28 PM

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.

Jim16 (Level 7 Sheriff) at 10/26/2008 4:17:41 PM

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

Chace (Level 5 Captain) at 10/22/2008 3:19:31 AM
