Is Wulven team choosing the winners or will there be some voting here as well? Cause with some cards having multiple entries might be good to have some community input.

Also, no entries for Death Collector, Belladonna, Bad Santa, Puwen, Dirk, and Lily? What will be done about getting an alt art for them? I especially wanted to see an alternate Bad Santa.

Some excelent pieces. For some of the duplicates I would like them to end up in the game. For example there are two Scourges, one is faitful to the original art and I think it should be alt art, but other entry is really good too and should be on some other card. Similar with Gargoyle.

[Shadows R Us]

There is some really good art there. My favorite is bazaar. Most boring card of all the alt arts, yet it looks awesome.

Facebook? Dam,

Not on Facebook Kip?

And Shadows R Us, Bazaar is one of my favorites there too. Not too much you can really change about it, but the grittier style and darker colorization makes it look great.

the effort is appriciated but most of these are bad and some are just terrible.

I don't want to be rude to the artists for saying this, but most of them i don't like it and it doesn't fit well to SE! Shadow Era has a dark fantasy world

Great job guys! I think what's really important here when picking alternate art is that the alternate art looks similar to the original. Same features, but different position. If I have given it a rating of 8 or higher I feel it is acceptable. The art style should also not differ too much from the current game. The artwork should also be a noticeably different position.

Art Breakdown:
Jasmine Rosecult by Sang Nguyen - 9/10 - strong similarity (somewhat less fierce, but very good)
Ogloth the Glutton by Jimmy Ling - 3/10 - low similarity (no red, no tattoos, different body, different armour, artwork also different)
Raven Wildheart by Phu Thieu - 10/10 - strong similarity (epic position too)
Armored Sandworm - Elisa Claes - 7/10 - strong similarity (nearly identical to current card - needs a new position)
Plasma Behemoth - Martin Novotný - 2/10 - low similarity (not recognizably same character + different art style)
Scourge Colossus - Martin Novotný - 3/10 - low similarity (not recognizably same character)
Ogloth the Glutton - Gary Stam - 3/10 low similarity (not recognizably same character)
Jasmine Rosecult - Gary Stam - 3/10 low similarity (not recognizably same character)
