Following the way on Kurgan's post
Alternate Remake Heroes 2021,
here is another thing I am working on (I have too much stuff to handle all together I guess), an adaptation/demake of the new release spells but with the style of the classic game.
The artworks are by
Luis Octavio NB. I am still missing a couple of images for each set.
First of all, the bard can be simply a human Bard! I don't want any of these cards to feature an "ORC BARD" so they can be used for any Hero playing an instrument.
Two of his spells are shown below.
As for the Druid, I would like to rename his spells into Nature Spells set so they can be used by any spellcaster, not just by a druid.
I changed Shapeshift to Bear Strenght, so it will not make the Hero changing his body shape but just acquiring more strenght in both attack and defense.
I asked to represent the Elf (but I have a sketch with the Barbarian too) because on a first moment I wanted to add this to the Elf spell set from the Elf Quest Pack. As someone of you probably remember, while working on the Tyrant's Tomb questpack by Pancho, we wanted to split the eight Elf Spells into 3 different sets: Nature, Time and Illusion. Nature had only 2 spells (Deep Sleep and Twist Wood) and was in need of a third one, so I added the Pixie (Summon Faeries).
When the Druid character was announced for the new 2021 release, I noticed Pixie was so similar to my Summon Faeries and when I started to work on Level 2 of the Elemental spells, I wanted to add 3 new cards to each spell set, also for the Elven sets (and the WoM spells too).
So I thoought the three new Druid spells would match the Nature theme very well and instead of creating thousands of similar heroes I'd rather give more skills to existing ones.
Thinking of higher level spells, the Warlock spells can easily be featured as part of the Darkness spells. But I already did 3 extra spells for the Level 2 of this set, so a Level 3 may come in help.
Not sure to leave the "Demon" word on them as the Wizard is not intended to make any path with evil creatures; Demonform may become Rising Darkness, while the other two can still be Dark Wings and Fear.
Still not having any images to show for this last set but already have in mind how to do them.
Now some images, Bard spells and Nature spells:
