The process starts with a new card concept from our artists. The designer provides us with sketches, paintings, digital designs, or even a three-dimensional collage. Great Arrow's in-house design team then prepares the art for the silkscreen process. Colorist Kristen Hettrich brings the original art to life using a palette of more than 500 colors of ink, including metallic colors and clear varnishes. Sometimes, she succeeds on the first try. But, as good as she is, it often takes many rounds of trial and error before the colors blend perfectly, and the card is approved.
