Illustrations (Shadowveil: Legend of The Five Rings)

For Shadowveil: Legend of the Five Rings, our character work covered both realistic ability card illustrations and stylized designs.

On the realistic side, we created around 20 ability cards, each depicting either a character or a visualization of a character’s ability. While the characters and card design were provided by our partners, our task was to deliver high-quality illustrations in their established style. Each card began with three to four sketches, followed by a fully rendered color version once approved.

For the stylized concepts, we collaborated closely with Palindrome Interactive through multiple iterations, refining shapes, details, and brushwork to align with Shadowveil’s distinctive calligraphic visual style.

This process allowed us to contribute artwork that felt authentic to the beloved Legend of the Five Rings universe while seamlessly fitting the painterly look of the game.
