Makes me think of the fake-art challenge in Animal Crossing: New Leaf (Item 1 in this listicle):
[quote=“frauenfelder, post:1, topic:80553”]Maybe they tinted the bricks after the fact in Photoshop[/quote]Yes, I think attempting to track down 1x1 bricks in some of those colors would be a rather agonizing challenge.
Many Adult Fans of Lego like to make mosaics out of the bricks. And the mosaics are often quite beautiful. But they never look like this! Slapping a trademark stamp on it with a photoshop overlay, does not make it Lego.
The ability of people to see the original detail in pixelated images is rather astounding.
Several years ago, I built SatanVision, which is a very low (128 x 96 pixel) resolution TV set made from a bunch of dim, red 8x8 pixel LED display bricks I found on ebay for like a dollar each. I made it accept standard NTSC video from a VCR or whatever.

This is a scene from Pink Flamingos. Recognize anyone?
I noticed that if I watched an old black and white movie, I could see the sheen of the sharkskin jackets on the mobsters! Clearly, this level of detail was being added by my brain, because there was just a bunch of glowing red dots in front of me.
Legoism. A modern form of impressionism using individual Lego bricks to construct an image that invokes the feeling of reality.
MSRP approx $50
If the sampling is right, all you really need is one big pixel.
Okay, maybe not.
During my college days, a student pixelated a photo of Albert Einstein using squares cut out of playboy centerfolds. An observer’s reaction was very different depending how close they were to the picture.
I think it’s far more likely that these were made entirely with software. It would seem a lot easier to do that rather than making them with Lego, taking a photo of them, then adjusting the colour the colour of every piece in Photoshop.
Spend a few minutes on Google and you’ll find software to do this sort of thing.
