I made this little room scene to test out what kind of results my new physically based rendering engine can give me. It’s a weird combination of pixel art and realistic lighting that somehow makes the room look very inviting to me. Like I want to physically go in there. 🙃

A study of Piranesi's etching of the Pantheon from 1751. I kept it loose around most details and tried to somewhat capture the etching nature of the original. It’s really just a study of the greatness of the original rather than any big creative input of my own. #pixelart

I rarely post my own art, so for #faceyourlandscape I can share some low-res paintings I've done in the past. It's very relaxing to do these, quite a different feeling than doing orthodox pixel art. All three are constrained to the Atari 2600 palette.

My second (and last) big 'isometric' piece was Spectropolis in 2015. I put isometric in quotes because it's actually an oblique projection (a rotated military one), closer to Fallout's trimetric. It comes from the game Nether Earth, one of the earliest RTSs (1987, ZX Spectrum).
