Glad you like it! I don't have a full story written behind it, but in a nutshell it takes place in a world essentially where the Berlin wall never fell and the cold war continues to modern times.

I'm working on an Alt History where the Soviet Union has a ten-year civil war. But the winners are hostile to the USA. But your timeline is very intriuging.

You have a very interesting way of blending pixel art with "messier" techniques.

WHY ARE YOU SO TALENTED!!!! I mean JEEZE! You are VERY talented. What do you do to make these scenes?

I start with a basic idea or concept, for example in this case I knew I wanted two things: A large mech/spider tank patrolling an urban area, and some kind of wall or enclosure. I came up with the setup of the scene taking place in a sort of post-war/future Berlin after doing some simple sketching and adding urban camouflage to the tanks in the scene. After that, I gathered and looked at as many resources I could of the West side of the Berlin wall and looked at all the various images that I could find for the houses and buildings that would be there and tried my best to replicate them. Once I get the background going and the scene starts to become easier to visualize, I start adding the small details and bulk of the objects/things in it and try to get the coloring and atmosphere of the scene to feel right until I eventually am satisfied with the final product.
