Create an immersive digital artwork in a retro pixelated style, featuring Watson Amelia and Hibiki Kensaku (KanColle) traversing through a sprawling desert landscape with undulating sand dunes and limited flora. The monochromatic grey sky sets the scene against high contrast lighting, accentuating their stylized skull face paint in vibrant hues using digital brushwork techniques for an authentic retro-futuristic feel. Emphasize texture variation to evoke a sense of nostalgia while maintaining a futuristic ambiance, symbolizing the fusion of classic detective and cyberpunk pilot elements within this imaginative cross-media narrative.
