Alternative Card Art (by Zules) https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=30424.msg386507#msg386507

I made a few alternative art pieces for some existing cards.

I think Elements should have more variation in its art :D Like more unupped/upped art differences and/or more special foil cards.

My art probably isn't completely up to par to be added into the game, but it's fun to try at the very least XD

Pegasus:

Arctic Octopus:

Otyugh:
(I made this before seeing vrt's awesome art, so now I feel a bit embarrassed posting this one XD Although mine's meant to be more "aww-look-that-cute-mutant-thing's-gonna-eat-me!" than realistic)
Werewolf (added 8/31/11)

I might make some more attempts later. If I do, I'll post them here (Also, I'm having a hard time finding the forum rules [the link I found in the Forum FAQ thread seems to be broken]. Is there a nerco-posting cutoff time limit here?)

Excellent drawings!  Not quite "elementalesque" but we could use variety like you say.  Keep it up

While I don't think they are Elements-styled, I do enjoy them. Particularly Arctic Octopus. I think that one fits well enough with Elements.

Thank you for the positive feedback  :)

I have to say, one of the reasons I really like the Pokemon TCG is because of the huge variety of style in its art. But they have a huge number of cards, so I can see how a more uniform style is probably better for Elements.

Not necessarily, but it's generally frowned upon (though somewhat encouraged in the Decks and CIA sections) and repeated necro-posting could lead to warnings.

Also, even though I agree your art isn't 'Element-esque', neither is some of the art found in the CIA section. You should lurk the 'Request Card Art Here!' thread and give replies :)

I love your art. I'm officially a fan. Who knows Zules, maybe your style could eventually become ---the--- Elements style if you keep at it.

I have some card ideas that would love your art. A good artist couldn't have come at a better time.

+ rep for trying and majorly succeeding.

Okay, thanks for the info. :) So I should be okay here in this CIA thread if I have some new art a month or two later and post it?

Wow thank you  :D
If you have any card art requests, feel free to PM me, but I cannot guarantee that I'll end up doing the idea(s) (it all depends on free time and if I think I could do a good take on the idea or not XP)

The art style looks familiar for some reason.
I'm not completely giving into the style, but that Octopus got me. (I got confused with the Otyugh,  I thought it was playing a piano - I'm not even going to try to explain).


But if it meant we got upped/unupped variety, I'd be keen. I think thats one of the most rewarding things about upgrading cards - and its just better. The card arts definitely work. Fit with the background, and what I think of the creature.
Good work man!

The Arctic Squid could in instant replace the current game art. Your art is awesome.

Your art looks far cuter than anything in game. For some cards (specifically the Pegasus), this really works but for others (the Otyugh) it simply doesn't.

I wish zanzarino would do more donations for alternate art.

I would definitely give $5 for the Pegasus card.
