Working on a Fantasy Pixel Art-based Landscape Scene

.Lately, I have been working on a fantasy landscape design and you may have noticed I used it in the header image of this site to replace the former landscape. The former one was less detail and had no liveliness to it like birds or a wizard onlooking from afar. The birds and wizard were also both created by me in separate instances just like the landscape itself.

​almost everything was created on iPad using an app called Procreate, but I drew the wizard digitally before I even had an Apple Pencil using Artstudio for iPad.

lately, I have been working on a pixel art version of the landscape to see what I could come up with. I also created a colorless rendition with some interesting texture thrown in for good measure. The images are below.

However, before getting to the pixel art images, here was the digital drawing I created that started the process:

Here are the pixel art revisions of the piece above that morphed and changed as I kept working on them:

Below, I took out the mountain within the pixel grid or the pixel creation app I used to see how it would turn out and turned the cloaked figure into a standard warrior holding a sword. I also made a version with some perspective blur added below it.

I may keep working on the pixel art fantasy piece above or create other new ones soon, so stay tuned.

For neon light versions using a different art style I tried using this landscape scene, check them out in the news section here.
