Spellpatch - My own trading card game
Most card games ask you to play the cards you’re dealt. Spellpatch lets you rewrite them.
It’s a TCG where you can alter the magical essence of your creatures and spells, changing what they do on the fly. Half the game is your deck, the other half is how you patch it together.

Selected card designs
The frames I designed for the game, with the art sitting where it belongs.
I design the card frames as well as the art. Standard cards share one frame with the faction emblem at the base, and patrons get a full ornate frame of their own. Doing both means I always know how much of an illustration will survive the frame, and where the focal point needs to sit.
