IDW Games has announced J.K. Woodward and Dave Dorman as the art team for its first board game release, Kill Shakespeare, which will release in June.
IDW shared some details about the board game previously with the announcement of its new tabletop gaming division in October (see "IDW Games"), however the announcement of a high-profile art team in board games is significant. Woodward will create the art for the playing cards for the game, while Dorman will paint an original piece for the Kill Shakespeare box cover. The game will be designed by Thomas Vande Ginste and Wolf Plancke, based on the comic series by Anthony Del Col and Conor McCreery (art by Andy Belanger).
Woodward is well known for his art on Peter David’s Fallen Angel, as well as for the Star Trek: The Next Generation/Doctor Who: Assimilation2 series. Dorman is an Eisner Award-winning artist known for his photo-realistic style of oil painting. He has worked extensively doing art for the gaming industry as well as for comics, and is most famous for his Star Wars paintings (his coffee table book Star Wars: The Art of Dave Dorman was the top-selling art book in 1996 for Ballantine Books, and George Lucas is a collector of his oil paintings).
