We will definitely be looking for artists for the physical + digital cards, we will have them apply for it however as it'll be a time commitment to get things looking the way we want to. There's a lot of artists here that could definitely fit into our scope and there may even be fanart created already that fit into it which we'll then ask to "buy" from the artists to include in the cards along with mentioning the name of the artist in the card as most other projects do.
The cool thing with this is that a lot of the artists can maintain their own style, it just can't be too extreme/shift away from the "original" too much.
Here's an example with Pokemon, you can tell the artwork differs a bit from the other one, they also mention the artist under "Illustr. name"
We could even do things like collaborations between artists, for instance if one wants to focus on creatures whereas the other on healers and another one on background/effects. It'll be a ton of fun to get these looking amazing for our collection set!
ohhh.. collab between artists would be interestingly fun ahaha i should prolly start honing my skills more for a worthy card feature, hopefully 😆 I'll try my best, thanks for the sample references 💕
