The Artists of the CoC cards

By pauare67, in CoC General Discussion

Hi

This might be more of a question for FFG and maybe the community might be able to share some thoughts about this.

I've been looking at the "paintings/images" on the cards and I am just amazed at the artwork. One Asylum pack, FFG had like 20 different artists do the work for each card. I was wondering where and how they were able to contact these artists?

Take for example the card: "Domestic Sacrifice" (Yog Sototh event). Have you seen the artwork on this? It's a cat with it's head stuck in a sink-e-rator. I laughed at the artwork. Very smart!

Another fantastic artwork is : "Sleep Therapist" (Agency Character).

Ok just sharing some thoughts. Back to work... LOL!

I have thought it was a dog? (Note the bone shaped ID tag)

Anyway, yes the artwork is generally excellent and they do have a decent stable of artists to provide the images. One of them posts his work here on the forum after the card is released. Very nice of him!

Hello,

FFG is one of the (not many) companies that actively encourages illustrators to submit portfolios for evaluation. Moreover besides vetting submissions FFG's Art Director also does scouting .

Yes, it may happen that on a given Asylum Pack there may be a different artist for each card, I know (on a few different art sites) quite a few collegues that work for FFG, and sometimes we ourselves wonder how big an artist stable the company actually has.

TheProfessor, thanks! The last one just went up. :)

BTW, if anyone has any game-art related questions I may be able to answer, feel free to ask. :)
