Definitely one of my favourite artworks I've ever made. I initially got inspired from of a photo I took of a moth in my glass of water. The brilliance of hues were really captivating and I knew it would be a fun study, and a fun palette to design. However after pixelling the moth at the smallest resolution I wanted, I realised how big of a scale I had to make the rest of the artwork. The final resolution is 860x1150 pixels (please zoom in and look around!!).

I feel like I could spend another 4 months refining down to the pixel level on every detail but I'd rather try out new things. I'm also unusually happy with it - that doesn't happen very often with my art 😅

i made the palette too!
