The Geology Mini, from sketch to completion 🪨💎

Drawn in GIMP as two files: one for the pixel art, and one at x10 size for the fine details. It's the fastest I've ever had a pattern come together, actually! But I already had photo refs, paper sketches, and even some of the thread colors picked out before starting the pixel art.
