Marble and the Heavens: The Adventurers' Welcome Hall
Today’s pixel art is inspired by the video game Might and Magic III: Isles of Terra for MS-DOS PCs. A wonderful adventure from the era of 16-bit computing. Pop in your floppy disk, install the game, and immerse yourself in a fantasy world. Orcs, dragons, diverse dungeons, cities, treasures, and the history of an entire world. Varied locations—from deserts to snowy wastes. That’s what Might and Magic is all about—ever since the MS-DOS days.
And here is my drawing inspired by Might and Magic III (MS-DOS). We’ve entered the Cloud Castle. It stood on the ground, yet inside, the floors were made of cloudy marble slabs. It was quite beautiful—but there was no time to admire the view. Huge green slimes were already right there, waiting for us.
They say this castle leads to the heavens. Most likely, it doesn't—it’s probably just a pretty legend. Still, it really is beautiful here. This is the first level of the labyrinth, a soaring hall. It’s a welcome hall, home to the weakest enemies... but those enemies happen to be huge slimes. That’s not what I signed up for. I probably should have spent more time running around on the surface, clearing rats out of the city. But the door behind us has shut; a massive stone slab slammed down. Now, there’s only one way to go: down.
