A surprise from Shelly Garcia, Heroes 2 artist

Unread postby Super Goober » 16 May 2014, 22:15

I recently got in touch with the artist who drew the creature sprites for Heroes 2, Shelly Garcia. We're working on something I think you guys will like. More info to come soon. In the meantime, here's a message from the artist:

"As an artist for Magic 2, I was fortunate to work with many talented artists and for a great company to create a game we were all proud of. I was pleasantly surprised when approached by Ryan Smith asking if I might be interested in working on project that would provide the look in the original artistic style, but different enough to enhance and continue that same enjoyable gaming experience, I jumped at the opportunity and hope everyone enjoys the end results." -- Shelly Garcia

And here is what she made as of May 16th.

Wait, a woman was responsible for (some of) those iconic H2 sprites...

Well... HOW YOU DOIN'?

Just a quick update:

If you're wondering what's happened lately, Shelly ended up in hospital a couple of months ago and she's going through some tough times right now. I haven't heard back from her in a while so wish her luck as she makes her recovery.

I'll let you know when she's back. :)
