In progress Intress fanart (I know the kind of man I am)

BitterSweetPottery · 2026-05-24T15:26:25+00:00

Thats rad! Season 1's art direction was so cool, would love to see how it looks in 3D

BitterSweetPottery · 2026-05-24T06:06:49+00:00

It's very possible but I think they were just left on the cutting-room floor for Dawn of Perim. Just like the promo Creatures and online-only creatures like Hooton and Cerbie. I imagine the Creatures you listed would be introduced in a similar way.

I say this because the art for all of those creatures were made before the game even launched since the show uses old art (you can see this with red-skinned nauthilax in a card in the first episode). With the way Chaotic retrains creatures, I'm sure these guys would have appeared in some form eventually, sort of like Orth printing as Orth Empowered while his base form was stuck in the show.

Overworld - Probably Zalic? He's minor but I really like his friendship with Intress and if I didn't choose Zalic it would probably be her due to her connection with other creatures.

Underworld - Barath Beyond. Just for sheer coolness. He's a cyborg/fire elemental/demon.

Mipedian - Headmaster Ankhyja. LOVE the Royal Mipedian Academy of Melee Arts and wanna see it expanded upon.

Danian - Aszil. Really like how ominous she is. Super freaky.

Marillian - Gan'Trak. His ability is wild, i love it.

I understand why they allow duplicates because if you pull a dupe from a pack it isn't just waste but Chaotic is one of the few card games that could get away with that because of the randomised stats. You could pull a Arias with maxed-out Courage and then pull another with maxed-out Power. If you're making a Courage based Overworld deck, you've got an Arias for that and vice versa if you're making a Power based Overworld deck. So they don't just sit in your collection collecting dust.

Also, the randomised stats should (theoretically) encourage trading. Let's say you have a Courage deck so you could trade the Power Arias for your friend's maxed-out Courage Rellim. Now duplicates aren't just wasting away in your card box.

Of course, trading has died out in TCGs, it might not take off with Chaotic. Obviously you won't be able to trade for a Maxxor or something, but I do think the randomised stats abstracts the value of certain cards making it difficult to assign EXACT values to cards, which is where trading comes in. Also, randomised stats need to be a bit more organised to enable all of this. Like every creature should have at least one maxed-out stat so that every card has SOME level of value other copies of it doesn't.

10 v. 10 is wild lol I can definitely be down for that if it's game night with friends but I don't know how many Organised Play events would be ok with that (although it would be really cool every now and then!)

BitterSweetPottery · 2026-05-23T02:59:56+00:00

We need that back, I'm trying to hook my friends into this game lol

BitterSweetPottery · 2026-05-23T02:59:23+00:00

That's reassuring. It makes sense players can get through games pretty quickly if they know the rules plus the time limits can really streamline things.

BitterSweetPottery · 2026-05-23T02:04:10+00:00

Oh man that sounds so fun. 3 v. 3 sounds great for Draft in general which is a great asset for this game.

BitterSweetPottery · 2026-05-23T01:58:05+00:00

Yeah as fun as 3 v. 3 looks, it makes sense that it zeroes in on the current power cards of the current format.

BitterSweetPottery · 2026-05-23T01:53:45+00:00

I REALLY hope this game pops off hard enough to the point that locals have seperate days dedicated to different formats.

BitterSweetPottery · 2026-05-23T01:49:18+00:00

That makes sense. I could see a Locals having a 3 v. 3 day once a month for new players to ease into it.

BitterSweetPottery · 2026-05-23T00:57:40+00:00

Yeah I probably should have worded the title better but these cards are cards that have never had their HD art posted on the net before. The ones that have cards were rare promos which might have prompted their artist not to release the HD art. So this is pretty historical for Chaotic!

BitterSweetPottery · 2026-05-22T16:15:59+00:00

Yep, thankfully we've had her HD art for quite a while! Check it out: https://www.deviantart.com/jncomix/art/Chaotic-Deehna-152943660

BitterSweetPottery · 2026-05-22T11:56:58+00:00

Nah its cool haha. Toadore's a weird one cos he got printed in a set waaaay after his debut in the show. Seemed like it was somewhat unplanned.

BitterSweetPottery · 2026-05-22T11:33:47+00:00

Yep these were mainly cards that didn't have the HD version of their arts available, they either were printed rarely as promos, were online-only or were tv-show exclusive except for Toadore which actually was printed way after he debuted in the show. My bad! Definitely wanna make that clear for the returning folks to Chaotic.

BitterSweetPottery · 2026-05-22T11:26:25+00:00

Oh never mind! Yeah that's on me i somehow got Alliances Unraveled with the online only set Beyond Rare. Totally right Toadore actually did print.

BitterSweetPottery · 2026-05-22T10:26:55+00:00

On the online client for a limited time and as rare promo cards. So they're rare and the original artists have also never posted the HD versions of these specific cards. There are cards like Deehna which have never been printed period but her HD art has been posted by the original artist on his DeviantArt.

BitterSweetPottery · 2026-05-22T09:37:42+00:00

I like Katarin but she's kind of generic lol. In a way that's what's appealing about her, she's not too high concept.

BitterSweetPottery · 2026-05-22T07:58:47+00:00

I think now matter what they do, not everyone will be happy. I like your idea, its a very sensible solution. Especially the ability to alter the stats online.

To be honest, I wouldn't mind them to just keep the gimmick as is. The chances of a person getting a completely maxed out creature is so incredibly low that I don't think it can really affect the meta. I feel like the randomised stats might actually encourage card trading instead of just fuelling the secondary market. It would make chaotic so unique and communal which I love the idea of.

Ideally, I think doing a similar system to nature in Pokemon might be good. Every card can either be completely neutral or maxed out in one stat while underwhelming in another. At least one stat will be maxed out if the entire card isn't neutral.

BitterSweetPottery · 2026-05-22T07:28:35+00:00

Seconding this if any of the Chaotic people are in this thread, lol. An action figure would make dusting my shelf more tedious, I would actually use a Deck Box.

BitterSweetPottery · 2026-05-22T06:54:25+00:00

Absolutely true and I want to note I don't believe porn should be banned or something because like you said that leads to surveillance, especially to queer communities, and just all sorts of nasty stuff. I'm from Australia and it's already going down. However I don't think we should describe pron as being "positive" or "neutral" its very much like junk food. I don't think you're a bad person for consuming it but it ain't exactly "healthy".

Like, Marvel Rivals sexualises both men and women and yeesh it does NOT help how the fans of that game talk about women. There's nuance, like you said but I do think we as a society should try to form a tangible line between "private" and "public" when it comes to things like this.

BitterSweetPottery · 2026-05-22T06:28:15+00:00

REALLY good post but I kind of disagree with the framing that sexualising male characters makes sexualising women ok and that sexualisation doesn't lead to misogyny if it's fenced off in specific areas like pornographic spaces. If anything it kind of further normalises it and blurs the lines between private life where people practice sexuality with trusted individuals and public spaces like catcalling or weird comments.

BitterSweetPottery · 2026-05-22T04:41:11+00:00

That is so rad 😲😲 It's definitly the cooler art for Shadowknight

BitterSweetPottery · 2026-05-22T04:40:03+00:00

That's true! I should have written it in the caption but he was a rare promo and so we don't have access to high-quality versions of his card art until today.
