New artwork & evolution

Stormbridge
A browser game made in HTML5

I would like to reveal the official cover art and logo for the game.

Here's a vertical version. I am going to make the character bigger in this version:

I also thought it'd be cool to share how the cover art for the game has evolved!

From concept to sketch, to 3D mockup, to painting, to final illustration and color grading.

I had been on the fence about #4 and #5. I like the gritty look of #4 but I also wondered if it looked too dark and gloomy for the game. I get that it's a stormy game and most people will mainly remember the storm as it's the primary hook, but it also has cute pets and cozy elements. So I added a warm tone to the right side and boosted the saturation to reflect the game more accurately. I was torn but decided to go for #5.

I think it's fun to see how it went to full color from this sketch.

Lemme know if you have any thoughts. If you face any issues with the game, you can let me know here or on Discord:
