Getting the biplane's rigging and struts to read this clean against a flat color background is harder than it looks, most digital illustrations of mechanical subjects end up cluttered. What almost didn't make the final version, was there a more literal background you cut for that yellow?
The Making of Kaiserreich Loading screens
That eagle mark carries a lot of the weight here, dark and worn instead of clean and polished fits the tone of a war-torn setting way better than a typical logo treatment would. Did the loading screen have to match an established visual language from the base game, or did you have room to define the mood yourself?
SERIES TITLE:- The Starveil Curse
The Starveil Curse follows Nyxara, an ancient feline guardian drawn into a cursed abandoned circus hidden deep inside a dark enchanted forest.
In the pilot, Nyxara enters the decaying circus and discovers it is alive with collapsing ruins, and the spirits of those who died there. When the ground begins swallowing him beneath a flood of skulls, a mysterious glowing hand reaches out just before he disappears.
As for future episodes I envisioned that the white hand belongs to Liora, a mysterious spirit trapped beneath the cursed circus for decades. She saves Nyxara—but only long enough to tell him the truth: the circus is not abandoned. It is a living prison that feeds on fear and keeps the souls of everyone who enters.
