July’s THEME:

Spellcasters

Your cards must feature a spellcaster character. There are so many different types of spellcasters. You could go humanoid or some other creature species of magic user. Maybe its a creature that is casting a spell? Unicorn shooting fire out of their horn? It’s possible but only if you can show the action of it since that’s not typically known as a spellcaster. See totally lots of creative wiggle room – the possibilities are endless as long as the THEME of SPELLCASTERS is very clearly there.  Here is a big list of common types of magic using classes to help inspire you but let your imagination run wild and show us what you’ve got! DO NOT send a full set of head shots only, some are fine, all is not because nothing but heads is NOT clearly depicting a spellcaster fairly. Remember this group focuses on illustration pushing yourself for more.

  • witch, wizard, warlock
  • summoner, sorcerer, sorceress
  • illusionist, conjurer, necromancer
  • cleric, shaman, druid
  • seer, hedge witch, witch doctor

Do you need some inspiration? Don’t worry we’ve got you covered!

A PINTERST BOARD to inspire you!

If ever in doubt just shoot me an email to ask a question. Send signups and any questions to [email protected]
