Freya and Hada | Arcana Resurgence

Client illustration for a 90s urban fantasy card game called Arcana Resurgence.

It’s a mind-control scene with the characters Freya and Hada.

All my Arcana Resurgence cards.

Software: Clip Studio Paint

A digital illustration. To the left there is a bust of an anguishing woman who seems to be under control of a puppet master. This fair-skinned, blond woman screams in agony while trying to reach a black collar on her neck. Her head is overlapped by blurry, distorted images of her own head, also screaming. To the left, a man with curly short black hair, glasses, and a dark, almond skin tone, looks calmly at a wooden pupped he manipulates with his left hand. He leans his head onto his right hand, as if bored. His eyes glow purple. The entire painting is made of cool tones leaning onto purples, blues and violets. The man is reclining as if he sat on a chair, and his body is visible down to the knees. He wears a dark, cool-toned uniform with bright red strips decorating the extremities of the lapel, chest area, and hem.

I loved painting this, the whole process felt smooth and I could leave visible brushstrokes and abstract, blurred areas. Not to mention the expressions and head angles.
