[2D] Magic cards - Dwarven deck project
polycounter lvl 11
Don't forget to scroll through the thread to see the updated paintings!
Hello everyone! I'm jordy lakiere(portfolio,facebook), a freelance artist from Belgium
I needed a new project and recently got back into MTG. When I realised there aren't many (modern) dwarf cards, it seemed like an awful shame. I discovered a bunch of them but they are really old, and decided to make a little dwarf deck/set. (not a full deck obv.)
This is mostly practice for card illustration work, maybe even to actually work with wizards (would be great), but also for fun. I'll be designing the actual cards with gameplay mechanics and such too (I'm not a huge magic player so I might be bad at this part)
Please let me know what you think! I'd love ALL the feedback I can get, mostly on the art, but on the card desigs too.
The list of cards I'm making is as follows:
(titles may change)
Dwarven Onager Crew
Dwarven Warriors
Dwarven Llama Riders
Dwarven Slavers
Metallurgic Prowess
Torture
Dungeon
Here's an example of a card with a temporary speedpaint for the art!

What is the core mechanic of your Dwarves? What is their specialty?
And of course some cards that play off it like torture/dungeon to give the enslaved cards bonuses and such. Not sure of the details yet, it can't be overpowered or anything! Input welcome
I look forward to your developments.
