Maybe -first of all- we need a good definition of “dithering”

I guess we do need a good definition. :) In this image:
The far left has NO dithering, the middle has the FS dithering (many programs do

I think I understand your method: Instead of 5 colours, you
use 9 shades of gray.

I use several different techniques but that is the heart of it. Looking high
and low I couldn’t find anyone else who had done that.

the main disadvantage of this method is that you
will always need more 1x1 elements (the more 1x1 elements, the weaker your
finished mosaic will be).

Having built a couple, I can tell you that they are surprisingly sturdy, much
more sturdy than similar sized mosaics I’ve made just made from 2xN bricks. I
do use a lot of 1x1 (which is very cost effective as they are about 1 cent each)
but then strengthen with 1x2 plates periodically. The mosaic itself is of
course 2 studs thick.
I’ll post a pick when I finally get one framed. :)
