Battle Train Card Art
At Terrible Posture Games, I created a set of card artwork for Battle Train, a roguelite deck-builder/rail combat game now available on Steam. Working from concepts by Joe Mirabello, I designed 31 cards representing abilities ranging from healing and mana stims to explosive special attacks.

Art in Motion
Each piece was created in Adobe Photoshop and exported as Targas specifically for use in a custom Unreal Engine 4 material I developed, which applied looping real-time parallax depth, UV distortion effects, and emissive animation to bring the cards to life in-game. Each effect was exposed as a variety of parameters, giving the whole team control over which effects to apply and how to tune them per card.
Card Art Base
I was also responsible for the design of the card base and frames to denote the different card classes. These assets were built in Adobe Photoshop as well and exported as Targas with RGB channels to allow card class colors to be adjusted directly in-engine for ease of iteration and to cut down on texture needs.
