I created this splash screen for the main menu of our university game Héritage. The rendering style followed the art direction of the game with a classic painterly look. I created the colour palette by referencing the colours of the game and changing the saturation of certain tones in order to make the main character pop. Her red blouse is the same color as the red feather of the game icon/logo. I created this digital painting with a green base to mimic a known technique in traditional painting, often used for painting skin tones. I approached this illustration as I might have approached a painting, by mixing colours and painting directly with the colours rather than working in greyscale.
