Hazman (Artist)

Hazman (Or Harry) is one of the main artist for Monster Orb TCG.

Monster Orb started as a game like any other to me, it felt like something you would look at then not look again. When working on my own TCG which I couldn’t keep a float, Dominick wanted some help with art for Monster Orb. Me, being a person who is more art then cards, decided to help.

After talking with Dominick I had sketched the first card for many to come this card is now known as one of the Ignitars. After the first sketch I did more and then I found my self to love drawing and helping out someone with something I know other people will see, when I was done with the Ignitars I felt that there was more that I could offer.

I started to make more art going from the Daylight Beasts to Gulorps to remakes and things in Set 2, it felt to me that things were what I’ve been hoping for and they were. After a while Set 1 in the art department started to stop meaning I couldn’t do as much art because I didn’t know what I needed to do, I can be creative but I work best with a goal and idea so when I didn’t get as much direction I felt bored and I felt like my art job was over.

After a bit I started to do some more art again and I am still doing them at the time of writing this and I am pleased to see my work to be seen by people of the world.

2. How my art has improved :

I started with my art on paper as most people do and I drew these monsters in a sketch book, of course now I look back at them I see they are bad but they now helped in monster orb. When making monsters I started to draw animals which started to look better the lines where sloppy and proportions wrong but the color was getting better and so were backgrounds.

I keep improving then I find myself on a tablet. I decide to find an app for drawing and I start to sketch. They are bad and flat but I improved I found myself coming back to monsters and I found myself loving what I’m doing and that I was getting great as creating them.

Time after, I find the homemade TCG Discord, I decided to join and I met many great people including Dominick. I started to do art for Monster Orb TCG, the first art I did was the Ignitars. This was the first type of cards that I did from the game. They were simple but I loved the way they turned out but now I have some changes.

After a bit of artwork of Daylight Beasts and Gulorps I did my first Prism monster: Infernus Prism. I tried to make it special and try out something new so for it so I didn’t use out line and added only color and shading; I believe it turned out great and I’m still really proud of it.

Not much evolved after that apart from adding some shine it my art. I do find it most fun not to use line because I feel it pop more and looks more powerful which is a reason I still do line.

3. Why I don’t loose interest in Monster Orb:

Before I joined the Monster Orb Team I felt like I was gonna do Ignitars and not do anything again but that feeling of inclusion and welcoming spirit just couldn’t let me go. At first, I was gonna try leave and help out other TCGs which is a bit hard to do but I couldn’t leave this after being welcomed in by something I feel is great so I decided to stay.

This game is interesting and at the moment, I do not know how to even play, but 50% of this game can still keep me in and I don’t blame it. I love working with Monster Orb and I don’t think I would loose interest because there is always something new.
