Art Overview
Page Contents
This page will serve as a collection of official art for Nuclear Throne. Promotional art was largely done by Justin Chan who also worked on character/boss portraits, with the rest of the in-game art largely done by Paul Veer.
Steam Backgrounds: Can be changed to any image by right-clicking the current background and selecting "Set Custom Background", which will open file explorer. There is also a "Set Custom Logo" option, which can be adjusted.
Background sizes cannot be adjusted in the Steam client, so if wanting a different size it can be cropped on a tool such as paint.net.
Multiple backgrounds can be useful if using multiple versions:

Steam Art
The following table includes all the images seen on Steam. The art for trading cards and profile backgrounds are taken from the promotional art, thus is in the next section.

Promotional Art
Many patch notes during Nuclear Throne's early access period included promotional art. This art no longer embeds properly on the Steam announcements, with some image URLs broken altogether, so this section is a compilation of all of them. Credit to Wayback Machine to filling in some blanks.
All images can be clicked for their full size. (Ctrl+Click to open in a new tab.)
