I love anthropology and learning about human cultures. This is from the culture of Ethiopia. I find that the combination of old pixel-art styles (especially limited colors) with mythology and a mystical atmosphere can be really transcendent and beautiful. I fell in love with the CGA color limitations, and this was my first real attempt at it.
