[Marvel Snap] : Pixel Variants

Released in 2022, Marvel Snap is a free-to-play card game developed by former Hearthstone designers, Second Dinner.

Every card in Marvel Snap has "Variants" with different artwork which can be acquired through a few ways, and while it is possible to unlock them without spending a cent, they almost certainly exist as way of enticing players to spend money.

Particular Variants are often grouped together in the Marvel Snap store to highlight a theme. Most commonly, Variants themes are based upon illustrations by artist like Rian Gonzalez, Peach Momoko, Jim Lee and Dan Hipp.

Even more plentiful than Hipp's 161 Variants, are the 212 "Pixel Variants". Sadly, these 16-bit styled special edition cards aren't what they ought to be.

The situation around Marvel Snap's Pixel Variants is a bit confusing. Marvel Snap's producers clearly have the ability to work with a top-tier comic artists to produce Variant artwork, so why not hire a reknow pixel artists like Paul Robertson to make Pixel Variants? (flashing lights, NSFW)

Marvel Snap thankfully credits all of the artists who create the artwork for every version of every card. However, the credited artist for the Pixel Variants, isn't an individual but a company called G-Angle.

G-Angle's is a Japanese company that appears to do a little of everything: voice acting, CGI, promotional illustrations, music, localization and more.

For better or worse, their website doesn't credit the artist(s) who created the pixel Variants for Marvel Snap. Additionally, G-Angle is also responsible for some of Marvel Snap's Chibi Variants.
