The dead cedar forest

Generated from: Side-scrolling 2D platformer level layout seen from a side game camera: a horizontal ground of jagged black earth with spike clusters rising from the soil at intervals, dead cedar tree trunks of varying heights forming natural platforms to leap between, thick low ground fog in deep teal, a mid-layer of gnarled branch platforms the player can land on, hanging vine ropes to swing from, a background of layered silhouetted dead forest receding into deep indigo darkness, eerie full moon casting a single pale shaft of light from upper right, no characters, empty playable space clearly readable. Drawn in this game's art direction: 2D hand-drawn silhouette illustration, stylised and graphic, black cut-paper silhouettes with two to three accent colours per image, high-contrast dramatic backlighting and rim lighting, atmospheric layered depth with foreground black shapes against glowing mid-tone backgrounds, ink-wash texture on backgrounds, sharp clean edges on characters and platforms, cinematic wide side-on camera, palette is deep blacks with rich indigo, teal, amber and crimson accents, mood of Hollow Knight meets ukiyo-e woodblock print. Everything is original: never draw or resemble characters, places or logos from existing games, films or brands (no red-capped plumbers, no famous mascots), even when the idea names one: take a named game's look and mood, never its characters, names or logos. No text, UI, HUD, logos or editor screens inside any image.
