This is the first part of a set which i shall be creating over the course of this year. The MINICITY set is a series of buildings of particular architectural style, created on a small scale, much like the buildings of simcity.

This particular building is loosley based on the Barbican in London, as one of the most successful existing brutalist schemes in the UK. I am very fond of brutalism which is why my first building of this series is based on that style.

Please dont use this image or design without permission, thanks.

The whole image was drawn completley on MS Paint

Here is the general drawing process: [link]

From the PixelArt Gallery, MINICITY - Trinity Complex by *hellagood88. This superb piece of Isometric PixelArt was created entirely in msPaint. We see a controlled palette and painstaking laying of pixels, creating a most impressive city scene. The wonderful reflection of building and trees in the water feature in the foreground and the tiny 8 pixel people adding life to the scene, all making this work something very special. Please look at the link to see the drawing process. Colour count 43 ( Featured by `ShoneGold )

I saw the thumbnail of this and instantly thought of the Barbican. It's one of my favorite buildings. Nice work.

Nice. I think this architecture-style (brutalist) is quite interesting.. :)

Another really nice piece of isometric pixel art. Please continue the MINICITY series, I like isometric pixel art at this scale.
The best thing here is probably the mirroring in the water. It has room for improvements, though. The building could have more textures, there are some empty areas.
But the overall look is really good. :)
