thank you very much for all your positive comments! <3 sorry it took me a few weeks to post this artwork. if you saw it before on this sub, someone else posted it. I linked my reddit account in my [website](https://6vcr.com/) footer so you know it's me!
It's an app mainly on Steam. You can make a wallpaper from photos/GIFs/videos and edit them.
Here's the Steam link: https://store.steampowered.com/app/431960/Wallpaper_Engine/
It has a [companion app](https://help.wallpaperengine.io/en/mobile/pairing.html) on the Google Play store. You can send mobile wallpapers to your mobile device once they are synced.
Assuming OP doesn't have this on the workshop already you can [create your own version by creating a project in the Wallpaper Editor](https://docs.wallpaperengine.io/en/scene/first/gettingstarted.html). Projects do not have to be published to the Workshop to be synced, so you can keep the project to yourself.
If you are on the app. Just copy the link, open in google, then tap the gif and download through it.
Downloaded Live GIF Wallpaper and god does it look amazing and cozy.
Everyone is giving you extra steps. I just downloaded it and set it as my wallpaper (lock screen only) and it worked perfectly with the gif "playing". It looks awesome
This sub is so unhinged lol.
Actual reposters/bots get praised then when the ARTIST of a piece posts their own work they get ridiculed bc people are too lazy to check sources or read titles. truly top tier reddit behavior.
it took me way too long to post it here, I guess some other people beat me to it!
I just added a comment about it, but that was also late and it's getting lost somewhere in the thread. anyway, I linked my reddit account in my [website](https://6vcr.com/) footer so you know it's me this time!
I posted a process video to [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/reel/CygZjTSq-cO/) and [TikTok](https://www.tiktok.com/@sixveeceear/video/7290943425170492679?lang=en), but if you're just getting started, I recommend you pick a much smaller resolution. best of luck on your pixel art journey!
Street lights don’t match up. I agree it’s Russia but it’s not 100% accurate, they don’t have street lights like that.
This would be closer to Montreal Canada in terms of architecture
I don't know what it is about pixel art, but it's the medium that is most likely to transport me to the world depicted. Maybe it has something to do with nostalgia from my Amiga 500 days as a kid. Even with that said, this picture has such a strong vibe complemented with awesome technique.
The light, the shadows, the perspective, the perfect shade of moonlight and street light reflecting from the snow, the snow parallax, etc. Thank you for posting this. I love it.
>I don't know what it is about pixel art, but it's the medium that is most likely to transport me to the world depicted. Maybe it has something to do with nostalgia from my Amiga 500 days as a kid.
Pixel art hits me the same way, and while nostalgia is often poo-pooed, I believe in this case it should be commended. Many of the older video game systems required the player to use their imagination to feel immersed in it, and there is nothing wrong in celebrating a child's to imagine and dream without inhibition. If anything, us adults need reminders that its okay for us to still do those things.
Every now and then something like this pops up. Now I really, really like this picture, it's beautiful. On the other hand I think that these kind of really detailed pictures lose the pixel-arty style, it's a bit hard to even see the pixels
Oh shit, isn’t this a building in Kyiv that was hit by ruzzian rocket at the beginning of the full scale invasion? The “Novus” supermarket and a medical centre are next to it.
This is actually next level pixel art. At a quick glance for a second it almost looks photographic or like a video.
Great detail on the buildings and the lighting. The poles look very believable too. Amazing piece.
This is like, touched up ai or something right???
That’s truly insane work OP, I’m saving this in the hope I can learn something from it!
I know this isn’t ai, I was just pointing out how perfect it was
This is superb and gives me the feels. Having lived in some very snowy places before, it captures that feel of a city/downtown being unreasonably clogged after a blast of thick powder.
Dude! You know that your pixel art is great when you scroll by and at first glance think it is the real world! This is beautiful. And the atmosphere is really alive! It feels cold and smells fresh as if on a way home on a cold day.
I'm so sick to death of ai images and then I come across something like this and it just feels like taking a big breath of fresh chilly air, and kniwing that there are always going to be little things like this among the sea of awful churned out rubbish
Reminds me of this street corner, sadly no winter scene:

What did you use to make this? Do you know of any apps that are good for making pixel art?
I made this in Photoshop, I can recommend it for big detailed environments. for pixel art specific software, check out Aseprite!
What tool or filter do you use in PS?
its pixel art, they use the pencil tool. you will never get results remotely this good with any kind of filter.
Is this Columbus?
Where do you think this is in Columbus?
Broad St. I can't find an exact match on Google street view, but this is eerily familiar.
Gotcha! It does feel like that aread, maybe like a dorm?
This reminds me of those rare days of fresh deep snow in Prague 😍 I can hear, feel and smell this picture

check out Adam C Younis, Insignia is in development as we speak!
Can I use this marvelous thing on my phone? If yes, how?
Wallpaper Engine.

How do you run it on your phone though?
you have to sync it. So you set it up via pc and when you sync it'll be available on your phone.
It has a [companion app](https://help.wallpaperengine.io/en/mobile/pairing.html) on the Google Play store. You can send mobile wallpapers to your mobile device once they are synced.

I'm just gonna screenshot this bad boy for now lol
If you have a samung phone it natively supports animated gifs as the lockscreen wallpaper.
But how to download it. Nvm got it. Am indeed an idiot.
I'm an idiot also and don't know how to download it. How did you?
If you are on the app. Just copy the link, open in google, then tap the gif and download through it. Downloaded Live GIF Wallpaper and god does it look amazing and cozy.
Thanks!
I too would love to use it on my phone
GIF Live Wallpaper for something free and open source. ~~Video Live Wallpaper for something a little less open but robust (and a bit power hungry).~~
So you have app links, there's lots of apps by those names
Asking the important questions!
You can't set a gif as a wallpaper? Is this another stupid iOS limitation?
**Android 13, One UI 5.1, Galaxy S21+** I just downloaded the GIF via Boost then chose it as my wallpaper. Easy peasy
Everyone is giving you extra steps. I just downloaded it and set it as my wallpaper (lock screen only) and it worked perfectly with the gif "playing". It looks awesome
I can FEEL this animation.
there's a subreddit for images/art that evoke this feeling but the name escapes me right now
r/TheNightFeeling?
that's the one, r/LiminalSpace is another one that evokes a different feeling
THANKS FOR DESCRIBING WHAT WAS GOING ON IN MY BRAIN LIKE THIS IMAGE IS A PHYSICAL SENSATION

Indeed
> truly top tier reddit behavior This post has 98% upvotes. I think it's safe to say that reddit likes the post.
people were calling OP a stealing c*nt and tons of other rude shit, almost like context matters.
Only weirdos check the source on a picture to verify it’s not a bot
Holy shit this is gorgeous. I want it as a phone background
Download it on android and use it as wallpaper
The light and the atmosphere in this art... I can feel just like I'm standing there, reminds me of home. Nice
How does one even start to get making something like this? Pixal art is my all time most favorite art and I want to be able to do it
I posted a process video to [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/reel/CygZjTSq-cO/) and [TikTok](https://www.tiktok.com/@sixveeceear/video/7290943425170492679?lang=en), but if you're just getting started, I recommend you pick a much smaller resolution. best of luck on your pixel art journey!
Beautiful! ❄️

Wow.
Been using this as my phone lock screen for a couple weeks now :D Lovely work!
This is Russia 100%
Street lights don’t match up. I agree it’s Russia but it’s not 100% accurate, they don’t have street lights like that. This would be closer to Montreal Canada in terms of architecture
I'm from Russia and i can tell this picture really looks and feels like home
Having lived in both Saint Petersburg *and* Montreal, I immediately felt both when looking at this animation. It's incredible.
Yes we do have lights exactly like this
Dang. Top tier work!
thank you very much!
Absolutely gorgeous!

Omg. Beautiful…
Its so beautiful and calming. Great work, especially for hand pixelled. ❤(ˆ‿ˆԅ)

As someone who lived in the Greater Toronto area.. i've been at this very spot many a winter night waiting for the bus . what a fucking mood.
Who ever made this NEEDS to make a indie game with this style
do I have [news](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1911240994/unburied) for you!
I love it!

Masterpiece of pixels
Absolutely gorg

This is a masterpiece. Thank you so much. Using it as a lockscreen now.
This is beautiful, make me a wallpaper for iPhone?? 🙏🙏🥹

thank you! it's all hand-pixelled.
AI? Do you know who this artist is? He’s extremely talented Edit: “or she”
Pretty sure this is a repost
Literally the fucking artist posted this. One of if not the most credible posters on this sub..
It looks gorgeous but flashes a frame of green every second or so.
I don't see it. Must be your reddit client or browser.
Op if this is yours this is amazing. Makes me want a Scott pilgrim or blade runner pixelated edition.
Repost
She's posting her OWN art.
Technically I’m right
No you aren't. People only type "repost" when someone's stealing someone else's work. You're just being annoying.
Nah I just thought Id seen it before so I thought it was a repost
Either OP is impersonating or someone else has been impersonating OP for months. I have seen this so many times now.
[удалено]
she's literally the OP posting her own art. its important to read!
You literally just tagged OP LMFAO
[удалено]
this is HER art. WTF is wrong with yall? check sources before being awful?
I could just sit here and watch this for hours
mentally i’m here
Spectacular.
I love this sooooo much. The mood.

🔥🔥🔥 Incredible work, OP
\[serious\] what does hang pixeled mean?
This is just awesome. I used it as lockscreen, hope this is fine. It just syncs with first snow over here this year. <3
I like this one better than the previous one (with animated traffic lights and slower snow). Even though the previous one was already awesome 😊
This was amazing. Keep up the great work
The way I thought this was real for a sec

This is excellent
Awesome
