The card went through some clothing design changes on the murloc, as the hat that appears in the final artwork is notably not one of the hats here. Some early conceptual designs for Redscale Dragontamer were provided by Azora Studio, although the name of the person responsible for the art is Arthur Bozonnet. Remember when everyone thought he'd be a Priest card? Ivan Fomin provided these preliminary sketches of Sayge, Seer of Darkmoon.

This artwork was done by Maria Trepalina, whom is noticeably responsible for many female character art across the WoW universe and in the expansions she's done art for.Ĭoncept art of Minefield featuring only the finest Darkmoon Tonk. Shadow Clone noticeably saw some changes done to the Rogue's eyes before settling on the finished art (the left-most one). The attire is also noticeably different than the finished artwork, which uses the pose in A as the basis.Īgatha Zhou provided this gif detailing the artwork progress of Idol of Y'Shaarj.Ĭoncept art for another one of the 'Vendor' cards, Banana Vendor. Of note is the fact that the knife in the elf's hand as well as the way the rack is designed differs from all versions of the artwork. Preliminary sketches of Darkmoon Strider (from Petting Zoo) by Mike Mishkin, where there was notably a balloon originally in the artwork that does not appear on the finished card.Īngelica Alieva provided this concept art for Knife Vendor, part of the 'Vendor' cycle of Neutral Commons that all have symmetrical effects. Maybe they'll actually commit to pushing the archetype this time unlike Freeze Shaman. Jim Nelson provided the concept artwork for one of the new cards pushing the new Weapon Shaman archetype, Stormstrike. Jim Nelson provided the concept art for Claw Machine, and all I can think of is THE CLAW!!! While the perspective changed slightly, the stance pretty much stayed the same through its entire development. In the final design of the set, all Corrupted versions of card have the same exact perspective as their base forms, meaning that this design choice came later in production.īoth arts are quite good however and you have Rafael Zanchetin to thank for that.Ĭoncept art for Tenwu of the Red Smoke by be Senior UI artist, Juyoung Oh. Our first piece (or rather, piece s) of concept art in this article comes from Jim Nelson, who sketched out the art for one of the first cards to show the new Corrupt mechanic that was revealed, Dunk Tank in both its base and Corrupted form.ĭay at the Faire (another one of the first Corrupt cards revealed) notably went through a significant art design change, as the Corrupted version of the original art takes place at an entirely different perspective than its base form. Now, why did it take so long to get this up compared to previous expansions? The answer to that question is simply that the process in what concept art was posted was extremely slow compared to those expansions.Įvery image in this article is courtesy of ArtStation, and links to every artist's ArtStation page is provided.
