Challenging Myself

Journal Entry: Tue Aug 18, 2009, 11:54 PM

Somethings
I wasn't going to put anything here but hey? why not I got nothing better to do even though its 2:44 A.M.


So I have decided I am going to create a challenge for myself and for a couple of reasons. First reason is to help me get better at drawing people and creatures. Second to help me with my bad skills at a tablet. Third reason is to help me finish my portfolio for college. I'm sure you would all like to know what this challenge could possibly be? Well read on and you will soon find out. :D




The Challenge!

Before I get to what this challenge is exactly I want everyone to know that everyone and anyone is more then welcome to join me in this challenge. You can even invite your friends over for the sleepover if you want :P

(WARNING: There will be no naked pillow fights at the sleepover, exceptions only for females who were born a female)
(CAUTION: The above statement was a lie, there really is no pillow fighting, only paintball wars)

Ok so the challenge is to create first, a playing card template, front and back in 1 image using any tools/program suitable for this. This can include any graphic application such as GIMP, Photoshop, ect. Can also include any 3D program for some better visual effects. And then any other program that is suitable for this project. But no ripping of another template is allowed and if inspired from another design then post where the inspiration came from in the description of the template.

After you have created your template you are to create 50 creatures/humans/humanoids/aliens and put them into your card template with the following.
*Must have some sort of rating
*Must have some sort health rating
*Must have an attack type. (melee,range,spells, ect)
*Should have the original drawing posted

No content can be created before August 19, 2009.

Feel free to create cards that are not only monsters, you can make attribute cards, trapping cards, terrain cards, w/e the hell you feel like really, just as long as you can tell us how it would fit into your card play.

At the end of this(or whenever really) you must create some sort of rules/guidelines as if this was a really card game and you could really play it and you should give some sort of example on how each card would work, so how your trap would work, how your terrain would work, ect.

Feel free to not rip off other people. Anyone who does rip will be disqualified from the possible prizes.
(see bottom of entry for prize possibilities)


My Watches and Friends

These are people who I think are worth letting everyone know about because their art is inspiration and original and have in my eyes showed top notch quality to us all and are pretty awesome people.

The Prizes

Ok so here is what I am willing to buy people who I believe out did themselves on this little challenge and have earned a prize.

Feel free to forfeit your prize and help me save my money for collage or to pass it on to someone else who you think is more deserving. Be sure if your passing it on to someone else to let me know if you want this person to know weather you passed it on or not.
