One of my favorites is from an old 1995 TCG called "Heresy: Kingdom Come", and the card is "Michael: Chief of Archangels":
The art is by Brom, and here is better quality version of the art:
(This TCG was good for art as they were much taller than normal cards, about the size of tarot cards. This hurt them with players though since I card sleeves would fit them and made shuffling harder.)
While not all the art was great on the cards, the back image was great:
Wow that's such a bold, characterful card! Never heard of the tcg, was it popular?
No, it was a flop unfortunately. It had low sales so an expansion for it got canceled.
They had some great artists to at the time too, with different art styles to. Some had a more comic art style to. But since it was from 1995, and low sales, finding the original card art can be hard at times.
As for the first image, it is Brom, who is a major artist, quite large in the 90s and still does work. He is a good page of Brom's art. He also made what is probably the most famous Doom 2 art:
That's a shame :(
The site with his art is an absolute treasure trove, I'm going through it now.
I like this cutie. Thanks for sharing!
