Sound like a good idea? Hello, artists! Any takers?(Continue reading)> Anyway, I'm working on Penguins. (No time for a preview right this > instant, but I'll probably post something later.) Okay, I promised a preview, here it is: http://img114.imageshack.us/img114/1610/penguincardpreview.png I'd also like an opinion: should the face cards use a "simplified" version of Tux (I am thinking specifically, less shading, more outlines, i.e. more like the suit glyphs and numbers)? If yes, I can handle the missing elements (bonnet/hair/whatever for the queen, crown for the king). If no, I would appreciate if some other aspiring artist that has a better shot of matching the style of the Tux graphics could take a shot. In the above preview, I intentionally left some of the old PNG versions to show what I mean about the change in style of the face cards. (As far as progress, I basically have completed what you see, plus the diamond face cards, and I have the club glyph. Most of the work however is boring stuff; using the text tool, and a LOT of making and positioning clones. Other than the added elements that distinguish the king/queen from the jack, the art is all completed and just needs assembling.)
