Blizzard Senior Artist, J. Axer, has shared the design progress of this month's Hearthstone ranked reward, the Rise Up card back. First though, let's look at the final, yummy card back.
Below you can see how the Rise Up card back went from a simple sketch to its more detailed and finalized version thanks to the magic of the Hearthstone Art Oven. This was the first piece of art that Jay did for Hearthstone after officially joining the team over his previous work for them as a freelance artist - awesome! If you want to see some more of Jay's work, we put the spotlight on his Kel'Thuzad card back concepts and there are some extra goodies in there too.
Be sure to win 5 ranked games before July ends to obtain this beauty!

Was expecting to see a recipe here, where you bake exactly that.
One of the things I've been curious about with these card backs is if the artists are given an idea or premise before hand of what is wanted, or if they just point them in a direction and see what the artists come up with on the fly.
I’m surprised they haven’t created a funnel cake card back yet. I’d like to see Jay rise up to this confectionary challenge.
Damn, I'm hungry now :/
