Quick sketch. I think it could use a few more blackbirds though...

In the center is going to be a sort of mole man city.

Just a concept, perspective and Batmobile design will be improved. The intention is to stick to 16 colours eventually.

Sorry for the massive image.

Might shrink it down a bit. This is the WIP, I've mapped out most of the basic shading and whatnot. I'll have to decide what kind of line weight and palette I want to use. I'm pretty colorblind so I might just play it safe and stay in gray scale.

first time using a palette. no idea what i'm doing.

Now I just need to figure out what to do inside the planet.

@Mino. I would definitely shrink it down. Its too big to really add pixel level detail and it wouldn't lose any clarity if you shrank it down.

I like the direction a lot of these are going!

Mino:
That's so well laid out! I really like the way that flows.
 I think you should cut it down in size for sure. I'd like to see some colour as well or maybe just greyscale (preferably warm-greys) and yellow for the lighting.

That's why it's a concept ;) I'm turning this sketch into pixelart.

so many great stuff here.

mr fahrenheit, if you want to do something fantastic in the center, consider a serpent circling around the core. If you want to make something realistic, make roots and rocks and worms.

Yeah I'm still generally displeased with the inside of the planet(I really should've planned ahead) so I'll try out your idea, thanks!
