Ring Of Cards

This is a thumbnail I made of the cards I am creating for the opensource video game created by Fervi on GitHub called Occult. It is a card game in which Blood Mages battle it out casting spells and summoning creatures & weapons at the cost of their life force.

It is intended by Fervi to be released as a free game in the apps stores of his country of residence, Poland. We came to be collaborating together by meeting on the the Social Media platform, Steemit. He was looking for a designer to rework the base artwork for the game that he designed himself.

After having a look & play at the game, in its then current state, I decided that regardless of it being a free game and unpaid work that I would still love to work on it in my free time.

I took in the inspiration of what the game was about and set about finding the style that fit it best. After many different iterations I settled on an 'Ink pain on parchment' look. This I thought fits well with the theme of the game, mages and spells. Once I had the style I started working my way through the cards. I got quite a way through them before I discovered that something was missing, a bit more depth in the symbols and the font was difficult to read. So I'm working my way back through the card sets with the additional tweaks I though of. I recently managed to finish the 'Spell' set of cards and even recorded the process of reworking my original design.

I'm totally new to this site so hope I haven't Dribbbled on! 😛
