Custom Card Remix

For my remix I am taking elements from the card game “Magic The Gathering”(MTG), “Dungeons & Dragons”(D&D), various pieces of art and combining them with some of my own personal elements too. It is not necessary to have knowledge of any of these subjects as my goal is more focused on the visual aesthetics and fitting something in a format where it was not originally found

I take the format of MTG and apply it to characters from elsewhere. For my first two cards I created I based them off an old D&D character I created years ago. For the first card I found the art online and applied it to the card format and used elements from the D&D rulebook to make some abilities for the card. For the second card I uploaded the image of a model I personally worked on myself and just listed stats of the character according to the character sheet commonly used in D&D.

My final 2 cards I made were for characters from a video game series called Diablo. I again took attributes of these fictional characters and tried to translate them into MTG standards the best I could. I used quotes from the characters in the games and lore. The art I used for them was from Glenn Rane who is a concept artist for Blizzard that I did a short interview with. The cool part was that I was able to feature the artists' names directly on the card.

I found the process to actually be quite fun in that there are so many things you could create using this type of method. I am pretty happy with these 4 but I think I could easily make more and it's just a matter of picking a subject. Warhammer characters would also work well in this type of format. I achieved my goal in making my remix very visual based and using concept art as the main subject.
