WARCANA Attack Spell Concept Art - Fay Calling

Concept art for all three Attack Spells of the Fay Calling faction in WARCANA. Attack Spells are cards which give the player the possibility to influence the battlefield directly, so Healing Spells also count as Attack Spells. These were some of the first VFX concepts I did, and I'm happy to see some improvements in the newer concepts, such as venturing into color concepts.

Fay Calling has 2 Healing Attack-Spells and one damage spell. Nature's Blessing does AoE instant Healing and adds the overheal as max health, while Flourish heals multiple times over 30 seconds. Poisnous Storm is a big AoE damage spell which deals damage overtime.

Because of the custom engine, our 3D to 2D workflow & connected performance issues we had some pretty strict boundaries (e.g.: no alpha blend just clip, animation lengths & sheet size) in production.

Also take a look at the ingame VFX, which were done by me (Flourish) Vincent Siedeberg (Nature's Blessing) and Luca Trapani (Poisonous Storm) with Card Art done by me using the games custom engine. The three spells are quite different but all work well.
