Dragons Playing Cards

Nov 11, 2009 01:21

This is what I started with for my deck of playing cards design. These-which took me a whole day's work to do were abandoned because my teacher didn't think they were part of a system. I know he's right, but I hate myself for wasting so much time on them. And I hate it even more that I couldn't use any of it.

You can do it! You've made it too far to quit now! If you can go back and trash whatever you had before and redo it once, you can do 12 different kings/queens/jacks!

Nothing will stop you! Not even death!

Dude, whatever. I think your top chest/egg/dragon design could be drawn together with a few other elements. Dragons, eggs, and treasure are KNOWN to go together, duh.

And I like your revamped design as well. (The eggs as your numbers? Genius!) And have you thought about experimenting with color for your different face cards or suits? It could definitely help you when you go to do your face cards. A play on one color for a suit definitely helps when you have to do three different dragons but only focus on one color. (An accent color for face cards can also be used to help them stand out and differentiate the jack/queen/king? Just off thinking off the top of my head.)

I think you've got this locked down, you just don't know it yet. :D

The original suits I had for that variation were eggs, swords, gold/treasure, and tooth. I seriously thought the drawing style could work, considering all of them had yellow and red in them, but the teacher wanted something that was simpler and had even similar features, such as one color, white lines going through them, which was what I did for the second variation.

And have you thought about experimenting with color for your different face cards or suits?First I had only one color. Boooo. Haha. Then I took your suggestion and went for an orange and blue. Complements. Hurray. Now I'm having shades of the colors, such as light orange, orange, and dark orange (to match my background, which has a darker yellow, yellow, and white). I wish I didn't have so many colors though. Sometimes I get awfully confused as to what color I was supposed to be using for a certain element. I'm ( ... )
