A red tear appeared amongst the stars. When it fell, the earth gave way.

This is an original isometric pixel art piece I have been working on for a long time. It started out years ago as a pencil drawing that took its cue from Games Workshops Mordheim. Instead of “The Pit”, a typical crater I had this idea of a bottomless abyss and a river emptying into it with subterranean layers of ancient ruins now visible. I never finished the drawing, but the scene stuck. When I started out with pixel art in the beginning of 2018 and picked up some experience with my previous MTG Fan Art works, I wanted to do an original scene with a very limited palette. So it came back to me. It was a long journey to realise it and I picked up a lot of things along the way about pixel art by doing all these repeating patterns and working with such a limited palette.

It amazes me just how far a few colors can go. This is awesome! I love the detail, and there's so much of it.

Thank you guys for all the compliments. I'm trying to take them gracefully, but I fail, gleefully grinning like an idiot :D

There's something very haunting about this piece. I'm not sure if it's the colors or perspective. I love it though. Great work.

Thanks :) I have changed the preview thumb to something more telling of the full scene.
