2026-06-04 Key Art Placeholders

PRE-LOCK / OFF-CANON — this batch predates the active 2026-06-17 comic-book / cel-ink lock. Kept as a historical record. The placeholder assets it produced are to be regenerated in the locked comic style; do not reuse these hi-fi prompt rules.

Scope

• Fill the missing Zero Day game key-art slot.
• Replace the homepage drifting sprite stand-in with a generated Scourge-universe hero plate.
• Keep this as draft placeholder art while preserving the locked Scourge Style Bible look.

Shared Art Rules

• Clean comic-book / cel-shaded ink in the locked Style-Bible house style; not pixel art, not smooth 3D, not photoreal, not generic painted concept art.
• Near-black void, hard hellfire rim-light, crushed shadows, warm DOOM grade.
• Blood, hellfire, rust, gunmetal, coal, and bone dominate.
• Toxic green appears only on Scourge breach cores and parasite nodes.
• No readable text, logos, watermarks, UI frames, neon magenta/cyan, or cool blue/teal grade.

Integration

• apps/web/lib/content/index.ts exposes gameImageUrl(slug).
• apps/web/components/game/game-card.tsx uses per-game key art as the card background.
• apps/web/app/games/[slug]/page.tsx uses per-game key art as the game-detail hero background.
• apps/web/app/page.tsx uses the homepage hero plate instead of the breach-boss sprite stand-in.
