The fantasy tessellation was part of a project in which I made multiple tessellations in Adobe Illustrator. For this pattern, I tried to render multiple Dungeon and Dragon-esque characters in the small space and used the recoloring tool to make the alternate design. The bright colors in the primary design work to make the characters easily distinguishable from one other even in the busy design. I chose the more desaturated colors for the alternate design to create a feeling of time passing, as if the in-color cell represents the characters in the moment and the alternate is the stories and legends that their adventures leave behind.
