Zohn Dyer is an Australian illustrator working in the sci-fi and horror corner of fantasy art, and he is one of the newer faces on the Sorcery roster. Collector Arthouse, the reference index for Sorcery's artists, is blunt about his standing: he "keeps a limited social media presence, with his work in the Gothic expansion being his first for Sorcery." That makes him a clean test case for what the Gothic set was reaching for. Where the early sets leaned on Magic veterans and established imaginative-realism names, Gothic also pulled in horror specialists, and Dyer is one of them. He signs his work "Zohn Dee" online, where the bulk of his presence lives on Instagram at @artofzohndee.
There is not a long public paper trail here, and that is worth saying plainly rather than padding around. Dyer does not run a deep portfolio site, has not done the convention-circuit interview rounds that document an artist like Drew Tucker or Brom, and keeps the kind of low profile the Collector Arthouse note describes. What is documented is the work itself and the genre he plants himself in.
Style
The Collector Arthouse description is the most precise sourced summary of what Dyer does: "highly detailed sci-fi and horror images with rich colors and a disturbing presence." That last phrase is the operative one. This is not atmospheric gothic gloom in the candlelit-castle sense — it is the unsettling, body-horror, something-is-wrong register, rendered with enough detail that the discomfort holds up when you lean in rather than dissolving into mood.
It is a fitting match for the Gothic set, which is the game's horror expansion, and Dyer's cards sit at the more grotesque end of it. The "rich colors" note matters too: horror art often drains toward monochrome, but Dyer keeps saturation, which is part of why the work reproduces with punch at card scale. On the table, a Dyer card reads as one of the busier, more lurid pieces in a Gothic hand — detail-dense and deliberately uncomfortable.
Cards on Sorcery
Dyer's entire documented Sorcery footprint is in Gothic — Collector Arthouse lists him as appearing in that set only, consistent with the note that it was his first work for the game. The index credits him on eleven cards:
- Barging Barghest
- Draconian Bonekite
- Hyperparasite
- Into the Abyss
- Lacuna Entity
- Necropotence
- Persecutor
- Rat King
- Realm-Eater
- The Rack
- Willing Tribute
Several of these are confirmed in the Gothic set independently of the artist index — Rat King, Necropotence, and The Rack all show up as distinct Gothic products in TCGPlayer's catalog, which corroborates the card names and set placement even where per-card art credits are harder to pull. The card titles themselves read like a Dyer thesis statement: a barghest, a bonekite, a parasite, an abyss, a rack. That is the horror-specialist's brief, and Gothic handed him the cards to match it.
What is not well documented is the per-card mechanical and flavor detail — the kind of "here's the keyword, here's the joke in the flavor text" reading available for older, more-archived cards. Curiosa.io's card pages for these were not reachable at the time of writing, so rather than guess at what each card does, the honest statement is: the art credits and set are confirmed; the play details on individual Dyer cards are best checked live on a deckbuilder.
