This is official art used in covers and promos for the game, produced by the Art Director of the game, Jen Zee. However, there was never a tall portrait version of it…
I’m speculating, but looks like Igor Artyomenko expanded on the piece. So in this case, things are the other way around, this is not a crop of Igor’s art, rather Igor’s version is a derivative of Jen Zee’s.
Edit: I might be wrong. Igor’s post is from before the game came out, and now I can’t find the piece from any supergiant source. The pieces style matches that of Jen so closely it might have gone unnoticed by most, including me, that it wasn’t an official art asset.
Edit 2: Danbooru credits Igor as well. Good sleuthing Crul!
I go out of my way to credit fanart, but this is official art by the Art Director of Transistor.
Which yes, was Jen Zee.
Edit: I think I might’ve remembered incorrectly here, actually. While very closely matching the style of Jen, this is looking like it’s fanart by Igor, linked by the other guy.
Edit 2: Yep, I don’t think this one is by Jen Zee. I didn’t realise either.
Shame on you for not crediting Jen Zee.
I’m confused.
The source I found from 10 years ago is from Igor Artyomenko: Transistor fan art (by Igor Artyomenko - ArtStation)
But this post from 2 years ago credits Jen Zee: Transistor - Red on Bike - by Jen Zee (1920x1080) : wallpaper

Thank you for the efforts!
Confused as well how. Either way it needed to be credited!
