Just something I tossed together as a backdrop for the new YouTube One Channel design. May become game-related at some point in the future, because there's just something about the idea of a massive salt flat with ancient ruins in it that appeals to me.

Thanks.  I sort of thought the same thing about the tower, especially from a distance.

 Neato! The huge rock tower looks almost high tech.

Re: colors, I'm not sure what's going on with the counters.  I set out with predefined palettes in all of my pieces, but for some reason every one of them shows up as having more colors than ASEPRITE displays by a fairly wide margin.  Could be the program I'm using still needs some adjustments; it is still in beta after all.  The six colors I had in the palette are: white, middling blue, light blue, grey, slightly lighter grey, and black (there's a one-pixel border around the image).

Re: image contents, it wasn't actually supposed to be anything at first.  I designed it as a backdrop for my channel over on YouTube, so I started putting lines down as a basic pattern.  Then, after deciding it looked a bit empty, I pulled out a tileset from a game I've been working on and started adding little elements - hence the clouds and the tower.  Near as I can tell, it's just a very abstract depiction of some kind of ruin sticking out of a desert, most likely a salt flat given the reflections of the sky.  The breaks in the white ground and sparsely placed pixel patterning are supposed to give off the impression of a heat haze and a slightly reflective surface, though how effective that is, I can't really judge for myself.

Hm. Color counter says you have 9 but it doesn't even look like you have 5. Weird...

This image looks a little confusing. I can't tell what I'm looking at. All I can tell is that there are clouds and a brown thing in the middle of what appears to be the sky.

Mind clarifying what's what?
