The Long Dusk

One small street, drawn once and lit for 24 hours. A study in how much a single light source changes a scene.

Why

I wanted to prove to myself that lighting does more work than detail. So I drew one street with almost no texture and let the time of day do the rest.

How

The scene uses one 88-colour palette. Every hour is the same drawing with a different light: a warm key at dusk, a cool fill at night, lamps and windows as their own sources.

What people said

It became the most shared thing I've ever made, and three studios got in touch because of it.
