  • The challenge of 99 – Part 17 : finale and do-overs

    This one was a toughie !
    The challenge was to produce 99 doodles in less than 3 days for a larp card game. Well.. infact there was 102 due to some do-overs.
    Instructions
    were very light and setup was confusingly varied. I had to use
    imagination and go for the most efficient (= fast) solution.

    Here’s the results, hope you like it !

    Thanks
    to the gentle patronage of a kind Dragoness (not kidding), I designed a
    card game based on the traditional Italian Game Scopa.Each
    card is customized to the theme and needs of a french Larp event : The
    Chronicles of Kandorya. Coins, Batons, Swords and Cups has been replaced
    by colors, corresponding to the Great Dracosires : Ortheïs, Negens,
    Kovaris and Airain. Figures now represents
    various personalities of the game and secrets has been hidden in the
    cards. All of that in a custom tuck box that has been designed to look
    like a small grimoire.

    There is 4 extra
    cards for credits and rules (which are quite simple, and translated in
    french + english!) with nice illustrations by yours truly.
