Stardew Valley Player Creates Isometric Watercolor Wizard’s Tower Painting

A Stardew Valley player has recreated the game’s Wizard Tower in a charming watercolor isometric piece of artwork. The attention to detail and soft color palette of the image makes it look like something out of a children’s book, and the artwork has charmed fellow fans of Stardew Valley.

Stardew Valley‘s Wizard Tower is one of the more curious areas of the game that players come across. It’s nestled south of the player’s farm on the outskirts of the town, and the wizard M. Rasmodius calls it home. Initially, the interior of the building is off-limits to players, but once they draw the attention of the wizard, he’ll invite them into his abode, where players can get to know the character and potentially gain access to a variety of useful tools, including the ability to change the appearance and gender of their character.

Stardew Valley: 10 Things You May Not Know About The Wizard

The Wizard is an entertaining and interesting NPC in Stardew Valley. Here are some things you may not know about them.

Stardew Valley player and artist Guy King, who goes by Guys_Artwork on Reddit, shared a piece of art they created showing the Stardew Valley Wizard’s Tower in isometric view. The image shows the tower and the surrounding area, including a nearby stream. The tower itself has been rendered extremely faithfully, including the telescope peeking out of the roof and the weathervane topping the entire building. The image depicts the area in summer, with pink flowers climbing the stone walls of the tower.

An Isometric Perspective of Stardew Valley

While all fanart is subject to a player’s imagination, this particular creation shows the tower in an isometric view. Isometric perspective is often used to create diagrams, as they represent all sides of the image in full scale. While some aspects would appear smaller or larger depending on the point of view, this style of imagery represents a 3D object on a 2D surface. An isometric depiction like this would be useful for artists looking to recreate Stardew Valley‘s pixel art in three dimensions, like those who have recreated the Wizard’s Tower in Blender or out of clay.

While the Wizard of Stardew Valley is interesting, a lot is left to speculation regarding his character in the game. Many players believe that he may be the father of Abigail, one of Pelican Town’s bachelorettes. It’s possible that developer ConcernedApe could expand the story surrounding the wizard in Stardew Valley‘s upcoming 1.6 update. However, this remains to be seen. Regardless, the enigmatic character will likely retain some level of mystery to him, which is arguably part of his appeal.
