Marine Beaufils is a French artist who creates beautiful embroideries of... The Sentinel (amongst others).
It's inspired and quite beautiful. Enjoy!

Have you ever wondered how big the full landscape is in The Sentinel?
It's 1856 pixels high and 2048 pixels wide.
Here's the first level. The initial 192x160 screen is in red. Panning jumps the view to different grid points.
It's a big old world!
