Card Game update 1

All this was discussed yesterday.

Card layout is gonna be changed. A few people have brought up the issue of the awkward positioning of the parts in the card. Gonna change it to a simpler, more conventional layout. The new layout will be done and be available for download tomorrow night. Here's a preview.


UPDATE* Download new layouts here [LINK] This link expires in 7 days.

About the issue of sub-classification first brought up by CC, we have decided to add in a system of Elements, not unlike your basic fantasy card games. This was chosen over a system of unit types due to the wide variety of unit types we expect to have. As discussed, the Elements are:
1) Light / Holy / Life - White
2) Dark / Death - Black
3) Fire - Red
4) Water / Ice - Blue
5) Nature / Earth - Green
6) Air -
7) Mechanical - Brown
8) Neutral - Grey
Cards with Elements will be colored accordingly to the Element, to aid in visual identification. This will be handled and explained in further detail at a later portion, so don't worry too much about elements just yet.

Lastly, there's been a issue of card balance for quite awhile now. The only feasible way to right this is for everyone to stop adjusting their own card's stats at the moment.

So for now, everyone please take note, only add the illustration, the card name, and whatever story you wish to include to the cards you make.

All stats, abilities and cost etc will be added later.

Thanks.

Trying out new techniques...

The texture brushes really do wonders =) 

Saw some artwork and got some inspiration on the feel of the painting. I think i replicated it quite nicely and quite satisfied with it... but the design of the character can be more fancy i thought... if its not fancy its not quite me isn't it... haha... more coming up, guys! keep posting!
This probably wouldn't be the final product, just did this in 1 hour or so, when i've got the time i'll touch it up on the finer details...

Terminator ??? lol




Develop from a concept sketch i posted earlier. Last sat i went to a digital painting workshop at orchard by noise singapore. i was eager to try out the technique that the person teach. although it's just burn, dodge and smudge tool, it can still work wonders if you know how to use it and also using the tools and function in Photoshop to it fullest, sometimes it can give you a surprise. Practise makes perfect, i hope i have improve in my painting as i always have alot of troubles when comes to painting, hope it doesn't look too bad, above is the sketch and colour version of the character. as this is for a card game, i am thinking of adding equipment and some other things to this guy. there are other concept sketches i want to try designing also from my previous post. no harm drawing lol 0_o

It's good to be home.

THANKSSS

seriously missed you guys. (no gay shit please)

Did some cards while i was over there. Gonna color em asap.

2nd Arkrubar


WIP - BOOK IN SUX
























Sunday, November 9, 2008

The deal is 2 cards.


When u "aruba" a person, means u koropok him.
Arkrubar is a super powerful being that begins a conquest of the 3 different worlds, namely the heavens, earth and netherworld. After successfully becoming the " No equal of heaven and earth ", his downfall begins during his last conquest of the netherworld after losing to the Lord of Terror due to reason I haven think of.
After which, Arkrubar is sealed away in a void space between the worlds, but its overwhelming strength is to much for it to contain with and eventually, 3 forces of Arkrubar itself was spilted from the sealed body, namely incarnation of his overwhelming strength, unbreakable defence and lightning speed, unleashed its wrath on the 3 worlds it self.
The 3 worlds start to fight against the 3 entity and then I still dunno what is going to happen next.





When u become "siao", u will become to act crazy.
Card created last minute due to going to book in to the most sian place on earth, CAMP.








My updates...

Here are some of the updates, have been painting on the first card. For now, I will just show the linework versions...
