Hook Knight is a pixel art roguelite currently in development at Lienzo Studio. This illustration was created for the game’s main menu, introducing the player to its world and atmosphere.
The artwork features Boric, the game’s protagonist, standing before The Tower—a massive abandoned structure where he ventures in search of resources to help his town survive the ongoing zombie apocalypse.
The goal of this illustration was to showcase the level of detail and atmosphere that can be achieved within the limitations of pixel art. I focused on creating a peaceful yet unsettling environment, using The Tower as the main focal point while placing Boric at its base to emphasize its scale, narrative importance, and the dangerous journey that awaits him.
