I've been working on some of the little details. Researching on Google, I noticed a drain pipe coming out of a brick wall, fire cans, sewers, lights all the things that would make this look as real as possible. Theres no planning when i do things like this, whatever pops in my head thats what I do.
Sometimes its a good idea, other times not so good. Heres some shots.
Real or fiction? These walls seem real! beautiful

DeleteYep
ReplyDeleteYes my eye street view looks like the real thing, even though I have not lived this times.
The light makes sentimental to think
Only steps noise and bakery smell to my noses is missing
On this street is up to the sewer-well ...

ReplyDeleteThank you Isabel
DeleteI love this street, so realistic!
ReplyDeleteVery impressive indeed. Well done! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Sir
DeleteAstonishing! Truly the work of a master craftsman. Do you use commercial textures or design your own?
ReplyDeletePat
old school...thanks, the brick is just paper generated from a computer together with spackling and sepia ink to create this alleyway
ReplyDeleteThanks Captain. What I meant was did you design the brick pattern or is it from one of the paper model companies.
DeleteI didnt design it...I tried to use a pattern that looked multi- dimensional, In some areas I built up the brick with a second layer along with the spackling gave it even more depth.
ReplyDeleteThanks Captain. Sorry, I'm not making myself clear. I wanted to know where you got the paper textures from. I do a lot of card modelling and I am always looking for new sources of textures. Apologies for all the questions.
DeleteGo to your computer and plug in images of ancient brick walls and thousands of images will come up
