Backdrop Gallery
Original atmospheric art, one backdrop per game, in the spirit of a 1990s strategy-guide cover, for the Compendium by GameShark Labs. Every backdrop is generated by our own AI image pipeline, which is why the art belongs to GameShark Labs rather than a publisher. What that pipeline does is set out on How we use AI(opens in a new tab).
