Not sure how to approach this properly, so starting a new topic here for my progress on the Art School's Final Project. I will be posting my progress, assets and world-building elements in the hopes of getting Marc's final blessing.

For the project I chose to work on a tabletop card game called Gamestormers, which (hopefully) will become a Kickstarter campaign somewhere next year. Currently the game designer is creating podcasts on how to design your own games, so if anyone is interested I can post a link to Youtube channel once that's up.

The world's theme is Ancient Rome+Steampunk mix. Elements of scifi and fantasy also included.

First thing I designed card templates and card backs to make sure I have a good understanding of elements and a working template for the art.

Thank you for your encouragement Nico. You have been a great influence and support in the "growing" process. I hope it stays this way in the future. It's a long journey, best taken with good friends

And here's the first card I did.

Thanks Marc! Let me know if I am missing something in formatting or presentation or if you want to see any of the process breakdowns.

Otherwise, more cards!

Hi @HANDRO thank you for your kind words and great questions.

1. The game itself (mechanics, rules, categories) is being developed by another person. The game designer approached me in April to get some art done for his project. He didn't have anything at that point and just voiced his only 2 desires: the game has to have Ancient Rome and Steampunk styles incorporated into it.
   So during the negotiations I kind of became the art director developing the overall look, feel and style for the whole thing, I started with the card designs, then some illustrations, logo and cover were done last.
   The game designer started a weekly podcast on how to design your own games where he does talk about this game, it's rules and development as well if you're interested https://www.facebook.com/gamestormedu

2. Like I mentioned before, I started this in April (although I don't work on it full-time) and have been chipping away at it slowly. My background is graphic design and I was a project manager for awhile, so I did come into this with some knowledge of how to approach large projects.

That being said, I do have to mention that for projects like this there's a lot of boring work that is not related to illustration: setup, project planning, timelines, testing, presentation assembly. Hope that helps.

Updated art after feedback from Marc. Also new art and progress!
