EMPIRE ZERO Quarry

Generated from: Video game building sprite, one single isolated industrial structure, semi-realistic hand-painted finish with baked ambient occlusion in every crevice and one crisp paint pass. ORTHOGRAPHIC 2:1 DIMETRIC PROJECTION, NOT 30-degree isometric: the base footprint must read as a diamond exactly twice as wide as it is tall, camera pitched down about 26 degrees with the near corner pointing straight at the viewer. Lighting: warm amber key light from the upper left (#FFB271), cool violet-slate shadow fill in shade (#3E4A63), never neutral grey shadow. Palette: weathered concrete #7E7668, steel #3B4048 and #262A30, iron plate #2A2E33, dusty umber #8C7A5E, ember orange emissive #FF8A3C for warm lit windows, restrained cyan emissive #57D2F0 for power, research or defence hardware - never two emissive colours on the same face. Not flat vector, not pixel art, not cartoon, not wireframe, not plain shaded boxes. No text, no numbers, no letters, no level pips, no UI, no logo, no watermark, no ground plane, no terrain, no horizon, no cast shadow on the ground; only a very soft dark contact shading tucked under the base. The base diamond is centred horizontally and sits near the bottom of the frame, and no part of the structure extends wider than that base diamond. SUBJECT: QUARRY - terraced rock excavation cut down into the base plinth, stepped stone terraces, a steel gantry crane straddling the pit with a hoist hook, a short conveyor belt lifting crushed stone, grey crushed stone piles, and a jointed excavator arm reaching into the pit, weathered concrete and rusty umber colouring, one small ember orange work lamp.
