Art Blocks 17: "Planet 001"

Am I done exploring the landscape? Probably ☺

Now, I went to outer space to create a pixel art version of a planet. This is not something that we know exists. The look of this planet is just my imagination and it doesn't really represent any planet within our solar system. I had fun creating this one using the pixel art style.

It's humorous that I can use these tiny pixels to create a visual of a planet. Of course, there is an obvious limitation to what I can do with these pixels but it's really amazing that I'm able to show the ridges on the surface of the planet.

The procedure that I used is the same as the procedure that I used in my previous pixel artwork. I started with a plain background and then worked on the planet and its details. And then I did the finishing touches on the background like the variation of color and the stars.
