Comment:
This is my final project for my Electronic Illustration class.
The project was to create cards, two to be exact, with a designed back and illustrated front. They could be tarot cards, playing cards, collecting cards, etc.

I chose to do Silent Hill themed cards using my own monsters, or monster rather. Originally I was doing The ZooKeeper and The Putrid Mother, but ended up scrapping the Mother and going with the Keeper instead. Not only did we have to design the cards but we had to write up a proposal as if we were submitting it to a company as well as making a powerpoint presentation. Kind of a pain, but meh, its done.

Anyway, what you see from left to right are the first card, the back of the card(s), and then the second card. I wanted one card to look more like a full illustration while the other I wanted to look kinda like a graphic spot illustration. I love the way they both came out and I'm considering having these printed up for selling at cons. If not as cards then maybe small prints. :D For those wondering what the text on bottom of the card back says, its latin for "Red Death".

I'll be turning this in on Thrusday, so here's hoping for a good grade! X3
