X-Men: Battle of the Atom - Card Artwork Editing and Preparation
[Aeria Games / PlayNext] X-Men: Battle of the Atom is a mobile card battle game based on Marvel's X-Men. Each card is based on an X-men character, and artwork of that character is the card's most prominent feature. As such, high-quality imagery of the characters was needed; a mix of both existing art from the comics as well as original art commissioned through external arthouses. My task was to edit and prepare these images for the game, which (depending on the card) could involve quite a lot: cropping the image to create a nice composition within the card frame, shifting the color of the background elements for the various card stages, editing out unwanted/restricted objects or entire characters, and repairing/re-drawing any parts that were affected by such edits. I also optimized and saved out each card's final images for use in-game, and developed a Photoshop script to automate the otherwise tedious save-out process. There are currently 500+ cards, and I've worked on all of them!
