Before and after: my AI placeholder vs a commissioned illustrator
First game, Steam launch in November. Old capsule was mine, made with AI tools, always meant as a placeholder. New one is by Komarca Art.
Brief was "looking straight down a spiral staircase in a library that doesn't end".
Happy to answer anything about the process or the brief. The thing that surprised me most was that the small capsule had to be redrawn as its own composition rather than scaled down, because Steam renders it at 120x45 in some list views.
