We’ve had a “Christmas mosaic” competition in Byggepladen (the Danish LUG). My
contribution to the competition is this portrait of my daughter Lea:

Hi Joe,
Simple suggestion: I wouldn’t mix old grays with new grays (“bluish gray” or
“stone gray”). Here’s also a link to a color
guide. I mostly use the RGB-values from LDraw (but I can change these values in
my program). 48x48 pixels isn’t much, so don’t expect miracles... Those images
look great.
Play well,
Maarten

Do these seem like good representations? Can they be improved somehow? They
look a little rough to me, but I don’t know, maybe that’s as good as it gets
with 48x48 pixels and only five shades of gray. Any advice?
Thanks,
- Joe

Its really difficult to answer this question because you only left a tiny
thumbnail, do you have a link to a larger file?

I’m trying to help my boys make mosaic portraits of themselves as a present for
my wife. Having never done this before, I’m not sure I’m getting the optimal
result, and would appreciate advice from more experienced builders.
Each portrait will use a large (48x48) baseplate, and be grayscale. To
represent the grayscale in LEGO, I’m using this palette:
&c181818 // Black
&c464A4D // Dark Bluish Gray
&c8A8A8A // Light Gray
&cE2E2E2 // Very Light Gray
&cFEFFFE // White
Those are the Bricklink colors, with RGB values cribbed with a screen capture
tool. So, first question: is this the best palette to use for a grayscale
mosaic? Are there any other colors I should consider?
Next, the mosaic patterns themselves. (I made these by starting with a photo,
and then fitting each pixel to the nearest color in the palette above.) Here’s
the younger one:
And here’s the older one:

Hi all,
A few months ago I finished a new giant mosaic. Size: 2,48W x 1,74H.

updated site.
Greetings,
