Temporal Heroes is a handcrafted trading card collection that fuses custom generative technology with traditional crafting. Each card begins with an individually written script describing the character concept, which is then processed through a custom generative model—not publicly available—designed to generate heroes that exist only in this collection. Every design is refined in Photoshop, where pencil and airbrush techniques sharpen details, adjust lighting, and provide a hand-crafted polish.
The finalized card designs are professionally printed, then combined with multiple layers of high-end materials—such as foils and specialty substrates—carefully fused together to form a premium-quality card. This layered construction not only gives each piece a distinctive look and feel but also makes them extremely resistant to forgery. During this process, every card is hand-foiled, cut, and corner-rounded, ensuring a crafted finish. To further guarantee authenticity, every card is serialized and registered online.
Because every step is done by hand, Temporal Heroes is produced in extremely limited volume, ensuring each card is not only vivid and playful in design but also rare, secure, and collectible.
