THE CARDS!
All designed in Photoshop,these cards were designed for a game fittingly titled "The Wall". So of course I had to give it a Game of Thrones theme. (Is anyone surprised?)
The idea was I had to design four cards: A card back (The first image), a Wall (The second image), a Reinforcement card (The dragon) and a Damage card (The Battering Ram). I drew it all by hand (Yep, even the dragon!) in Photoshop with the use of my Cintiq tablet. The lines for the Wall card back were so good, I copied them for my Wall picture, but without the extra bleed colours. To fit the style, I used a much sharper style with the Wall, the Damage card, and the Reinforcement card than I did with the card backgrounds.
I feel like I could have been more consistent with the style (I shade a little bit on the Battering Ram, but probably not where it counts most, due to the late hour I was working on the cards no doubt), and I could have been more consistent with the lettering (The text is red on the dragon card because black would have bled into the dragon image, unfortunately. I'm still not completely happy with it, but it was incredibly late when I was finishing it, and I deemed it tolerable). But all in all, I don't think it was too bad! I could do more of these at some point in the future, really.
(Also, the perspective doesn't look like total crap on the walls, so I'm happy!)
