This doesn't have anything to do with Arcane, but it IS hilarious.

Some amazing borderless treatments of the art of @matanui.bsky.social ! I think these are really going to pop coming out of a pack.

Working on Frame Breaks and Full Art treatments for Arcane: The Eternal. I wanted something to show up in the common and uncommon slots so that you can get more hits per pack.

What do people think of a subscription service for a TCG? I saw that Sorcery was doing it to supposedly counter scalpers, but my initial reaction is negative. What does bluesky think? Pic for tax.

More pack testing! I much prefer this format, although I'm still experimenting with making the text really *pop*. Also some printing errors (read: I messed up) made korie's art not centered lol.

Trying to figure out a golden foiling, but something just isn't right. I tried a glitter finish on top as well, but it made the card top difficult to read. Working on perfecting it today.

Secretfoil treatments of oh.koraline's fantastic artwork. I think these are gonna be big chases for the set.

Finally got a vinyl foil that works well for holo printing! The problem now is the logistics of lining up the ink layer with the card back. While it looks great its pretty tough to stick it on effectively--right now its about 30% loss to QA.

Happy free RPG day! In its honor, I brewed up 52Fates--a travel sized RPG! Designed for playing in airports or when you're looking to kill some time, it uses two pages of rules and just a 52 card deck.

Definitely going to design a monster for #ArcaneTheEternal based on this guy. He just looks so cool. Maybe like, a phoenix with a blade tail? He's called the Razorbill but I think it holding the sword in its mouth is a little too close to Razordrake's design...
