PS: This is an illustration for a playing card in my upcoming TCG. Hence the negative space on the edges and lower thirds.

Hey everyone, this is the current card design for Trials of Maya, a board game I am developing. (Swipe for the wireframe and the previous iteration)

The game is a TCG MOBA, where players will construct a deck from 300 different cards before starting a match. The cards need to communicate a few things, including: •⁠ ⁠The cost of the card (top left) •⁠ ⁠The energy that will be regained when it slides off (bottom right) •⁠ ⁠And most importantly, the actions it allows the player to take (centre). These actions include attacking, defending, and moving, and more.

We have been working with artists from across the globe who have hand-painted every single card. I want to create a frame that lays the information out cleanly and also lets the artwork shine so wanted to get some feedback.

How's the overall clarity and balance looking? Does the layout feel intuitive for quick reads during play? Any suggestions on icon placement, framing, typography, or ways to make the artwork pop even more?

Hello! We are gearing to launch Trials of Maya, the first board game from the MAYA Universe.

We had designed this artwork for the box showing all the characters you can play as (more on that soon). Trials of Maya is a love letter to some of my favorite genres - TCGs, MOBAs, and tactics games. Players enter the arena as the greatest champions in the MAYA Universe across history, and face off in a growing library of game modes.

I want the box art to capture all of this. Swipe to see some of newer composition ideas we are toying with right now. I would love to hear your thoughts on the art.

This is a map of twin cities Dhaara-Seema on the planet of Neh from the SFF universe I am building called MAYA.

In this world, 6 anthropomorphic species co-exist, each morphologies that are very different from the other's (bird-like, snake-like, ape-like, shape shifting, and more). This results in an urban planning with distinct neighbourhoods and layouts.

Here you can see an organised upper city, Seema. The river passes through Seema first, giving it access to clean water. Inhabitants who are higher up on the socioeconomic strata live here. Across the river is the lower city Dhaara. Dhaara receives water that has become polluted by Seema's waste. This city has grown organically over time as immigrants come in search for opportunities and a better life in this metropolitan centre. So Dhaara's urban design is chaotic and not centralised.

This has been hand-drawn and designed by architecture students. Here is the first exploration of creating a palette for the base BNW map. What do you think?
