Inspired by the artwork of Hearthstone, here is a card art style illustration of a character from the Dragonball Ip
Illustration with the card frame
Illustration cropped - This is how the image would sit in a potential card
Illustration without border
I set myself the challenge to produce as many thumbnails as possible to get better acquainted with balancing 3d space and 2d graphic composition
After taking aspects of the thumbnails I liked the most I built a 3d whitebox scene in Blender and used that as reference for my intial illustration
After some feedback I pushed the pose of the character and created 4 value sketches
Colour iterations
