WARCANA Attack Spell Concept Art - Current Weaving

Concept art for two Attack Spells of the Current Weaving faction in WARCANA.
Attack Spells are cards which give the player the possibility to influence the battlefield directly. Storm Tide is a wave which deals damage and pushes back units. Binding Tentacles has a relly big AoE and deals damage to buildings and or units. 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. These concepts were partly done with planned tech of the custom engine in mind, which in the end, sadly didn't make it.

Also take a look at the ingame VFX, which were done by Vincent Siedeberg and adjusted by Luca Trapani with Card Art done by me using the games custom engine. Especially Binding Tentacles looks amazing ingame.
