Arrow I found my pencil!


That means I can get on with working on my deck - what little there is of it - and will soon be posting cards for review. Fair warning: They're done one at a time, no particular design in mind (except the devil and the 2 of pentacles), no rhythm or rhyme to what order or the style they're done in, and are in black and white.

Be prepared.

Here's the devil. Those of you that have been around long enough might have seen the sketch for it. The finished product looks a little different.

Me too! I was lost without it. If (or when) it ever gets published it would be, if the person that got it chose to color it in. It's meant to be a black and white, but most are more comfortable with color in their decks, so I'm trying to do it in a way that leaves that option open for them. If that makes any sort of sense.

Meep! I uploaded it here http://www.photocountry.com/users/3318/devil.jpg but it ended up being a lot bigger than life for some reason. It's actually the size of a standard RW card.

Next up: *insert drumroll here* 3 of swords! Should be up either later today or tomorrow.

I'm liking it a lot so far!
I especially like the rounded curves to the edges of the design. The overall effect: it's similar to the incidental illustrations that you find in science fiction/fantasy monthlies of the forties and fifties. Is that kinda what you were going for?
I think I'd personally prefer the black and white illustrations over colored ones. This idea seems to really be about contrast and draftsmanship, not brilliant color.
