Artist Interview with Heidi Taillefer

From commercial illustration and fine art to a trading card game, one year in.

Hello everyone! I’m Ed with The Painted Realm. We are a group of Sorcery: Contested Realm art enthusiasts that recently created a platform to share all the amazing art that Erik’s Curiosa has commissioned for the game. At thepaintedrealm.com anyone can post their beautiful Sorcery original art, APs, sketches, and alters for the community to enjoy. We also have a Discord you will find a link to on the website. As we really want to be community driven there is no face of The Painted Realm, we are happy to publish interviews or articles others would like to create related to Sorcery art, so get in touch with us via our email on the website or via Discord.

Today is our first interview of The Painted Realm Interview Series with Heidi Taillefer. Welcome Heidi! As a self-taught artist, you have an interesting background in fine arts and commercial illustration prior to working with Sorcery, with clients such as Cirque du Soleil and Infinity. This being your first time working on a TCG, and now that you've been able to get your feet wet a bit, I'd really love to hear from you about your experience so far, and what's different about this industry than those that you've worked in prior.
