It may not seem, but I started my career in illustration doing highly detailed isometric pixel art cities and requests for it continue to pop in my inbox from time to time.
Ranging from the peaceful mountains of Tibet to war-torn Rio's favelas, passing through New York, São Paulo, fictional farms and urban landscapes and equally featuring weapons of war, farming machinery and smartphone fueled urban chaos.
It is really fun to create cities :).

@ivan_carrasco Hah, never played it, but EVERYBODY (including my clients at the time) said the same :)
@ncastrignano2018 Hi Nicolas. Sorry for the late response, but I had to gather some thoughts on the subject first.
I'm well aware of the existence and some of the inner workings of NFTs and despite all the real and very serious environmental issues surrounding them, truth is: to me, they not seem particularly interesting from a personal, artistic or commercial standpoint.
I do have the technical knowledge and skills to churn out pieces upon pieces of "NFT art", whether handcrafted or generative, and probably could gather some money from it. Heck, had I followed in my programming studies I probably could have created my own cryptocurrency myself.
But in the end of the day that's not the reason I wanted to be an artist in the first place.
I started this life in order to create beautiful things, to show my craft to people and to collaborate with others in order to tell stories, inform, educate and entertain.
To create something just for someone to grab and and stash it "somewhere" for a buck, hoping it grows in value someday feels like a waste of my time.
