This scene is such a mix of influences. I get a post apocalyptic vibe along with a typical anime calmness. It makes me want to explore it.

I would call it Ukraine :( It is a sad, disturbing reminder of the absolute horrors Putin had unleashed on that country and the threat he and his KGB cult maffia are to the world.

Nice work. Curious, why did you decided to call it relic?

Not op but look at it. Disconnected powerline frames, useless monoliths that suggest a previous but discontinued purpose for humans, who are nowhere to be found.

If an alien were to do archeology on earth after humans, they would describe these types of structures as relics

Where are the ducks, tits, and eyeballs? All required in fake art.

I kind of love that you use power lines as your subject. Whenever I see local artists where I live painting landscapes, they always take the power lines out. I understand why, but the power lines are part of the landscape and texture of a place, I think. They're the blood lines of modern society in the first world.

Are you on South Australia by chance. We had a state wife black out a few years back because one of these things blew over in the wind

Those cables are very heavy and would not be so influenced by wind. So a little dramatic, but if it's artistic flair, good stuff. Well done

This piece should be called “Texas Energy Grid (Ain’t Deregulation Great?)”

Makes me think of Neon Genesis Evangelion, with the bright blue sky and fluffy white clouds, I can see this as a scene where an angel is about to attack or the Evas running across the field.

My one gripe with pixel art animations like this, is they so often include an 'event' that creates a very noticeable loop point, unless the animation is really long. In this case, it's the sun flare, and it detracts from the ability to use them as backgrounds, just in my personal opinion.

Excellent art otherwise!

There is also the tidbit that the overwhelming majority of mountains are in the west of the country, and I don't know if they are snow-peaked or not. I guess they could be, but they are nowhere near the frontlines and have mostly been spared in terms of carnage and destruction.

Of course everyone interprets it how they want, and this was not to throw a monkey wrench into their version. My immediate guess would have been Alaska, Vorarlberg or Kamchatka, but I haven't been to these places yet.

Looks like the central valley in California on a windy cold day facing the Sierra Nevada

Strong wind to throw heavy steel cables like that.

I'd like to think it's a future scene where the majority of humanity no longer relies on the power grid.

D-DayDodger t1_j3bw849 wrote

I interpreted it as just a simple view of the future. Like humanity has moved on from this basic technology and now these once essential powerlines are obsolete and neglected. I didn't get a post-apocalyptic vibe at all.

Damn, I love this. Makes me want an adventure game based on this aesthetic.

Really interesting. What would be the real-life location of this in your world or interpretation?
