Death or Glory Key Art

This illustration was created for Death or Glory, a dueling card game featuring some of the most iconic characters from the title. My task was to capture the essence of each character in a style reminiscent of classic fighting game posters, highlighting both their visual aesthetics and in-game abilities. Below are brief descriptions of the characters featured in the image:

-Roxxor: a gentle giant, but in battle, he immobilizes his enemies with bear hugs. His attacks deal massive damage, although his speed is slow, giving him a lumbering and heavy pace in combat.

-Tori: Inspired by the paladin archetype, Tori is extremely durable and has healing abilities. She belongs to the Evangelist class, which builds devotion over time. Upon transcending, her attacks become powerful, she can draw a lot of cards, and even turn into an invulnerable angel.

-Susan: a sniper inspired by the gadget-filled spy trope. She uses advanced technology for protection and to avoid damage. She deploys drones to lock onto enemies and finishes them off with a single sniper shot.

-Lee: based on Bruce Lee, he is a martial artist who can also channel Chi, summoning a Chinese dragon to enhance his attacks.

-Crystal: a cheerful ice faerie who freezes her opponents with ice magic.

-A.T.A.C.R.: a towering mecha equipped with missiles and twin cannons capable of destroying entire cities.

-Redeye: a werewolf that can go berserk in combat. Many of his abilities cause self-harm, but they also inflict even greater pain on his enemies.
