Quote from BlizzardWe’ve added a lot of card backs to Hearthstone over the years, 143 to be exact! As a special treat, we thought it would be fun to walk you through the creation process for the September Monthly Card Back. Senior Concept Artist Luke Mancini will stream the entire card back creation process live, from concept to completion, in a 3-part series on Twitch.tv/PlayHearthstone!
Part I: Concept
- When: Monday, May 18 from 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. PT
- What to expect: We’ll go through the ideation and rough sketch bit, using 3 potential concepts for the new card back. By the end of the stream, we’ll have committed to our favorite option.
Part II: Progress
- When: Wednesday, May 20 from 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. PT
- What to expect: We’ll get the pieces in place to start on our design, fleshing things out with color and hard lines.
Part III: Finalizing
- When: Thursday, May 21 from 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. PT
- What to expect: We’ll dot our i’s and cross our t’s and walk through the rest of the finishing touches. By the end of the stream, you will see a final or near-final version of the September Monthly Card Back!
Lead FX Artist and longtime art team member, Hadidjah Chamberlin, will be joining Luke in answering questions and discussing the work on stream. So, bring your art questions and we will see you in the chat!
That goes for all of Blizzard's games, their artwork is simply amazing and a huge factor why I like their games. Sure there are improvements to be made in the UI department and the card art is tiny in-game and the card backs don't really do it for me anymore.
I'm looking forward to it. As a wannabe artist I have always looked at Blizzard as a source of inspiration. Say what you want about the state of the game, but this game wouldn't be what it is without the AMAZING artwork put in behind it.

So to get a look behind the scenes is always great, and if you don't like it, don't watch. There are plenty of other threads for you to talk about what you think will make you happy "if only they did".
Creating a cardack only needs 6 hours? This is less than one working day. I thought it would be more.
finally someone made this.
More cardbacks only 5% of the playerbase care about.
how about "balancing demonhunter - our thoughts behind the masterpiece"
Only because you seem to hate on game aesthetics, graphic style evolution, have no intrest in game design delevopement and job of artists doing these streams - alowing us to experience creating game objects...
Doesn't mean you are allowed to disrespect both artists and people intrested in artwork creating process who are waiting for stream.
Go whine somewhere else and let people enjoy things.
All that we need is " Evolving Card Back" based on your performance. Or Fun theme card backs. ( play Murlocs, Beasts etc.)

Control Paladin will soon be back, mark my words. Everything will change as we know it.
Right... as soon as they hof shadowstep, handle felwcreamer, fix MMR / ranked, or generally give a crap about not-just-new-players.
