Haunted House

Happy Halloween.

I took heavy inspiration from Castlevania and Minecraft for this one, Dracula's Castle and Nether Fortresses, respectively. I don't think castles are very spooky, so they need a paranormal element, like floating turrets. I also made heavy use of gradients, because flat coloring looks so boring in comparison. I wanted the castle to look dirty, abandoned, and dangerous, and I think the colorscheme really reflects that. For the background, it's just a pink gradient over a white circle, to give the illusion of a blood moon. And then there's bats.
