This landscape is an homage to my grandmother, as I’ve always seen her surrounded by nature, living in a house between two mountains with a large garden and forests. As you can imagine, this moc has a special place in my heart.
The idea for this moc came, as usual, from wandering on Pinterest to seek inspiration. Pinterest is packed with fantastic arts of all kinds, making it really easy to gather inspiration, even if AI art is spreading there like crazy nowadays. One day, I came across a series of pixelated microscale landscapes such as valleys with villages, hills and fields that caught my attention. At first I thought it was yet another AI image, but I was informed it came from a human – Franek pixel art. The person behind it even made a game, so beautiful.
Every time I hike or just wander in mountains, plains, or forests, I’m always getting inspired by nature like this. Just the sound of birds singing repairs the soul. Seeing a waterfall, a nice path through trees or a rock partially covered with green moss, it just makes me want to build something – that’s why I love doing terraforming. Unfortunately, these are the hardest to recreate for various practical reasons such as space, parts, or even time. Yet, on microscale though, those issues are kind of solved because those landscapes can be represented without having to turn a living room into a modelling convention.
