Brian Hagan over at Moon Bunny Imports flagshipped an idea to make a ccg for the kids who attend Pittsburgh's local Anime convention. I was very glad to have received an invitation from him to volunteer for this cute little project.
It was a mostly gratis shindig, paid for by Brian and arted up by a bunch of volunteers from AiP. We could sign up for cards we wanted on a first come, first serve basis.
Technical and artistic requirements:
Dimensions: 2x3.5 inches, 150 dpi
Color Mode: CMYK
File Format: TIF
5mm black border
Images must be in color.
Give the item some kind of simple background, not just a solid color
or gradient.
Iinclude the top text and the bottom text,
as indicated in the spreadsheet.
He was looking for looking for cute/kawaii and humorous artwork, but there was no unified style to match aside from that preference. I picked up 7 cards -
I really liked working on the Gold Dragon, but that may relate to my long time love of the great lizards of myth. Our turn around for these cards was literally 5 days, so the process had to be highly abbreviated. The Gold was the only thing that got a dead tree initial sketch, and then it and everything else went into Flash for super fast use of the smoothing properties of drawing in Flash. Exported the .pngs from the stage into Photoshop and then colored from there.
