        @RidiculousHat As long as I get to show off my original @AlexHorleyArt I’m happy.

            @Songbird_HS @RidiculousHat @AlexHorleyArt Yes indeed. I think it was the first art description I wrote for the team.

              @themattlondon @Songbird_HS @AlexHorleyArt "art: leaf, but make it silvery"

                @RidiculousHat @Songbird_HS @AlexHorleyArt "Location: Kabal Hideout, Ratchet. Extreme close on face of Kazakus. He's holding up a small vial of silver liquid and the weapon "Swinetusk Shank." He's dipping the tip of the shank into the vial." I leaned hard on Ratchet and Sludge Fen with the Rogue cards -- good for BOM.

                  @themattlondon @RidiculousHat @Songbird_HS @AlexHorleyArt Art descriptions are a cool behind the scenes thing that almost never get shared, oddly. Kinda interesting (from a game development perspective) to see how much of an art piece's design comes from the card designer and how much comes from the artist.

                    @Celestalon @themattlondon @Songbird_HS @AlexHorleyArt yeah this is really interesting, i never knew what an art description was supposed to look like

                      @RidiculousHat @Celestalon @themattlondon @Songbird_HS @AlexHorleyArt Same here, please share more of these! Also, how many iterations between designer / artist do you do for a card on average? Is it a long process, out had the artist free reigns as long as the description is respected?

                        @sebastientromp @RidiculousHat @Celestalon @themattlondon @AlexHorleyArt It's pretty collaborative, but I'm sure Matt could elaborate more than I can.

                        @sebastientromp @RidiculousHat @themattlondon @Songbird_HS @AlexHorleyArt Art descriptions are a starting place, and sometimes things change through the sketch/review process. One of my favorite art pieces: "A female Night Elf Demon Hunter running with one glaive raised and pointed forward. It glows bright green with fel energy." Guess the card.

      @themattlondon I literally had that thought: “aw man, I could never be in one of these because *gestures broadly at my workstation*”

        @hsdecktech @themattlondon It'd be cool to see you in a video. It's nice seeing the faces and hearing the voices of more members of the team. Also I suspect Liv's gonna need some time for her voice to recover so there's probably an opening

          @adam_noodelman @themattlondon I hope, and kind of expect, you all will see me in something at some point. We just need to find the right moment and make sure we're not depriving the audience of a cooler cameo to hear from.
