Doing digital art for my game has a bit of kitbashy feel to me. I am taking something and altering it heavily then painting
If you see this, post a monster. Lichenwight. Corpses reanimated by an invasive lichen that use bones at a new home. Rotted and covered in the semi-sentient creature shrouds its actions and movements. Joints held to the mossy lichen use strong fungal growths are surprisingly strong muscle.
New art art alert! Playing with gradients. Not sure this art will stick with this card but neither had a home so they get to be friends! #indiegame #tcg #lcg #humanmade #solodev
She got scared by the sound of a cat in a litterbox so I had to protect her
This is what I started with for the image. The skulls were 3d printed and painted. The discs are moth repellants. I then take it into GIMP and Inscape to make it all weird. #photobash #fantasyart #tcg
Updating my frames with less black boxes behind names, and using white text with black borders. Feels much cleaner and cohesive than what I had before. The two with grey background art is likely worse case for readability so moving forward I should try to avoid those. #tcg #indiegames #fantasyart
Fashioning a staff for some Lithic Rage #tcg images. A found stick, 3d printed skulls, and fake vines.
making crossed swords art had a happy accident by making the outlines red. it pops nicely #tcg #swordandsworcery #fantasyart #indiedev
i dont need this to detect vape. I just catch the hint of bubblegum and saffron in the air and I know
I am realizing that white backgrounds on the art makes the white outlines of the text harder to read. So I think the style guide for Lithic Rage art will include "no large amounts of white space". this text is much easier to read.
i kinda want one but I already have an S. This colorway is what some of the OG Xbox dev kits had external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%...
i am playing with text frames to include more card art, more transparency, and be less "in the way". #homemadeTCG #indiedev #tcg #fantasyart
This morning I made this weird lil person for Lithic Rage #TCG This will be for a card "Mindful Regroup" which shuffles cards from discard into your draw deck, then discards that many cards. #swordandsorcery #fantasyart #bringbackwendysbaconmushroommelt
Doing some color tests on how different hues will affect the process of getting turned into black and white for my #tcg. The conclusion is: not much difference in red, blue, and black when a single point light is involved.
Which do y'all prefer? The cleaner white and less-detailed layout or the grimier more detailed layout? #tcg #cardgame #boardgame #ttrpg
Working from home is critical to my mental health because every evening I think to myself: “hell yea, tomorrow I get to hang out with this idiot” and I fear someone will eventually take that away from me
