It's nuts to me that this isn't pre-rendered. Fantastic job!
I'm drooling over that purple. But usually a fan of traces but this looks really cool!
Well the end result must be fully hand pixelled. The image you trace over is not important.
@Christoballs - would that even be ok to post here?
Well, I did use photoshops 3d workspace to get the perspective of the tiles down by distorting a 2d checkered pattern, then I indexed that down to 2 colors to get a base to start working of, but aside from that everything else is hand pixeled.
