Love the look of your SOG, Daniel!
Thanks!
This looks awesome but I'm telling you bro I am a huge fan of your updated card designs like the one you did for Paul. If I owned Redemption, your card template would be the one in use today. It is forward, while still parallel, and has the aesthetic appeal necessary for mainstream market
This look is litttt. I might bring back the serif font too just cause it's classy xD
Thank you sir!
Yes, originally I meant for this Kingdom set to be designed with this look. I've been designing Redemption cards for literally about 10 years, after being inspired by a few people who made very convincing-looking cards. Tim Mierz and Eric Largent were my biggest inspirations, and although it might sound funny to people, I've literally spent a decade trying to make my cards look like the real thing. This hasn't been possible for a majority of that time (due to not being able to afford professional graphic design software, and not having high-quality images of Redemption cards to work off of), so my cards were never quite right. I'm a perfectionist, so my answer to this was essentially to build my own Redemption cards and redesign the elements (hence my 2012 redesign thread, which prompted Cactus to change the design of the cards in the 2013 starter decks).
However, due to the tireless work of Gabe in uploading full scale high resolution images of the recent sets, my cards finally look legit. Like, they look perfect. And it's kind of gratifying. This will likely be my last full fan expansion, so I want them to look like real cards. I don't play Redemption any more (and haven't for a long time), there's just something that I love about making cards.
