Personal project for my "Ambered" grimdark universe (a top-down ARPG).
The player is one of the many prisoners who work in a quarry, where they extract and excavate amber of the dead World Trees, and occasionally fossils of ancient monsters trapped in amber. At the moment depicted in this piece, the player used a chance to escape, looted some armor and weapons, and now discovers one of the Dead trees and an old structure around it. Apparently, some rituals took place here back in the day! Now, however, it's an amber extraction site, but something went very wrong here…
I took some freedom with the amber color to highlight its magic properties.
Thanks to the WICA community for providing structure on worldbuilding for personal projects!
