Hearthstone Art - Elder Longneck (Time lapse with commentary)

[@Quagdarr]

Been a fan since Creed in the 90's awesome to watch skill grow

[@lolinturtle]

Incredible! I hope to draw like you someday: you’re amazing

[@digitalhaunt1239]

This may seem a bit cheeky but have you ever considered asking blizzard for a spot on their launcher. So your video is on there, I think even people who aren't into art would be really interested in this if they like the game. It is a really interesting process which I think lots of players would like to see

[@TrentKaniuga]

Blizzard doesn't really give that kind of exposure to many artists. I will ask though.

[@geoffosborne2798]

Incredible!! Can't wait to see the second card art time lapse video! Always inspiring!

[@lancesmith7209]

How big do you typically make your canvas?

I worked as colourist for a while, so I'm used to work on some other's work, but I never did it on an illustration, I don't know if it would works good for me in that case. Great paint as usual.

Hi Trent, I really like your artworks and process. Thanks for sharing. I am currently building some Hearthstone -like artworks but I'm not sure where to send my portfolio. Do they have a specific art director that reviews applications? Or any suggestion whom to send it? If you don't mind me asking.

[@happyadventures3285]

When you draw cards, do you know how it will look in the gold version? And do you play in Hearthstone?

[@diaspiano]

why you so gooood

[@Nocturnalcookie]

So big. So beautiful :) Also telling people looking for a style to "adapt" is just too damn relevant to the un'goro expansion xD

[@RafaelFernandesNet]

Great job!

[@Ihavegumgum]

Hello Trent. Thank you for sharing your expirience. Can you give an advice to your fan from Russia? How you handle yor art work when you have bad mood or depression? Sometimes it seriously affect my style. And can you please tell about your hobbies. Maybe you playing guitar or trumpet)?

[@dukebryant6665]

this is so good, love your works and i do play hearthstone. god bless and more art :)

[@mihailkostov9667]

Hey I have a question how many brushes u usually use in works like this

[@Chocobw]

hi! I love your work, and your tips of sketchbook and in this video are so helpfull n.n

[@DigitalArtcast]

Hey Trent love the video me and the team love what you’re doing with the channel. I’ve sent you a friends request and message on Facebook. Give me a shout if you would be interested in coming on the show and talking about your process

[@BombaJead]

I don't know if you can talk about this but how much did they pay you for an illustration like this, or how do you know how much to charge them?

[@austinmeddy526]

Trent please elaborate on this question if it's within your legal ability to do so. I am also curious how much they pay artists to make card illustrations. You don't need to go into exact detail, but a ballpark figure would be nice :) thank you

[@seanpaints]

BombaJead no idea but let's say he charges based on hour, probably $20-100 an hour at 6hrs, plus whatever he pays his collab artist. Could be more as he's a veteran idk this is just my educated guess.

[@LAOK242]

Yeah, from what I've seen pro's generaly use hourly rates, as for how much per hour, that's probably different for every single one as a lot of things go into account comming up with that.

[@joshuagallup3005]

Does Trent do Q and A's?

[@Soleanna_CCG]

Hey Trent, I’m making a card game and I’m looking to hire artists. How where you paid per card and for the copyright? I’m only using the info u give me as a template so I can figure out how to pay my artist.

[@TrentKaniuga]

Every contract between an artist is going to be different. Sometimes they get royalties on sales. Sometimes they get a flat fee for a set number of pieces of art. Sometimes they get to own the original artwork and/or sell it, or monetize it in other ways. You have to structure it in a way that works for both parties. If the artists are okay with a flat rate, then that should be in the contract for each artist. You should also define how many iterations or changes are allowed in the process. Paying artists for 100+ cards is going to cost you an awful lot of money if you want good art.
