Hines told Business Insider that his artistic process has evolved over a period of 10 years or so. He started by just doodling with a mouse while working an overnight job.
Hines starts out by laying down some simple shapes in MS Paint, and then colors them and enlarges the image for a higher resolution. The scene below is based on Peter's Hill in Boston.
This is Hines' rendition of Lt. Dan from "Forrest Gump" battling the sea.
