Space Obelisk

Quoted from my PixelJoint page for this piece:
"For the [Ye Olde Space Exploration] weekly challenge.

I chose Egypt because I couldn't think of any other super recognizable canons, and then I went and did something that just doesn't look very Egyptian anyway. XD"

I'm not really digging much of this piece except the background.
