Anfield: The hallowed home ground of Liverpool FC

EDIT: (12th August)
Went through and made some minor changes:
:bulletred: Extra shadow work coming off the trusses on the stands to the top and left.
:bulletred: Listened to ~zachriel and fixed up the surface of the turf, no more ugly line work.

Now available as a print. :)
/EDIT


Well, it's done. Finally. This is my first larger pixel piece submitted to dA. It's also had the most extensive work of anything I've done. I initially started it around July/August 2003, with it sitting there and having occasional updates. In late September last year, I decided to restart it from scratch, building up to what I have done today. I'm quite proud of this.


--==::[ Details: ]::==--

To make this, I used various photos and images I found on google when I searched for Anfield. Because of the quality and size of the images, some of the outer details may not be completely accurate. I'm aware of these problems, and if I find the motivation in the future I might fix it up. Also, people who are quite familiar with Anfield will note that the trusses on the Kop and Centenary Stands are actually black. Here they are grey.

Done in Photoshop.


I hope everyone enjoys this. It's been a strenuous journal, but a thoroughly worthwhile one.

Cheers,
-Tom :horns:

Bet you haven’t seen a sweet field quite like this yet. Anfield by =budgieishere is pixeled at such a masterful level that it would make the home team fairly proud to call it its home. (And, yes, it’s modeled off of the real “Anfield” stadium! GOOOOOOAL!) (Suggested by ~ShinobiDragon and Featured by `halfliquid)

Whoa, I looked at it and liked it straight away. I zoomed in and it slapped me in the face.

Nice texturing on the field, it looks great, you've done everything minor so perfect. Like, the white lines not being one solid white colour, that's great attention to detail, and how you've done the metal framework kinda stuff at the top, it looks superb.

Great work.

:iconlawrence153:
a.m.a.z.i.n.g. It must've taken ages to the the metal structure things on top.
:iconbudgieishere:
They were quite frustrating to do indeed. It was tough trying to get the structure to just look the right shape, and then add the detail to give it volume and the varying shades.

Cheers for the comment :aww:

I don't know what to say, except that this is supremely excellent work. The shapes, colors, and textures all come to together to make this a truly amazing piece. Congratulations. :thumbsup:
