Artists
This page lists artists who have contributed card art for Hearthstone cards.
Note: When adding unofficial artist listings, please add a reference to a gallery or other source to confirm the credit. Also, because of the way the lists are updated, recently credited cards may not be listed here. To update this list, go to the artist's page, click 'Edit' and then 'Save changes', without making any changes. It may then be necessary to repeat the process with this page.
Artists[edit | edit source]
Golden card art[edit | edit source]
- Main article: Card art#Golden cards
The creation of golden card images requires additional work, transforming each static 2D image into a recoloured, animated, moving display. While the original art is credited to the artists listed above, the production of each card's golden version is undertaken by Becca Abel, Kyle Harrison, John Zwicker and Jon Briggs.[1][2]
Development cards[edit | edit source]
This section lists cards which can be seen in screenshots taken during the game's original development, but which were not found in-game when the game's alpha was first datamined. Cards which were removed during alpha or beta, or which were specifically revealed to the public, are listed in the removed cards section.
In most cases these are discarded prototypes, some representing earlier versions of later released cards, and some of the artwork has since been reused. Screenshots can be found in the Design and development of Hearthstone article.
