Took me long enough I know - I ended up running off on other projects for years and finally came back to this and finished it up!  Thanks to everyone who gave me much needed feedback in the Design and Development forum many moons ago.  Please take a look if you're interested!

Design & Development / Strigiformes - Fooling around with more birds
« on: March 06, 2014, 11:12:50 PM »
Okay, so my kickstarter for the parrot deck is doing pretty well, but it's obviously aimed more at people who love parrots than people who collect cards.  I've really started to get more into the design aspect of cards - but I'm still stuck on birds, hehe.  This time, owls, and for the King of Spades, the Eurasian Eagle Owl.  I tried to put a bit of symbolism in the card.

I have a few thoughts/worries: are the details too fine?  Is it too confusing/muddled, especially in the middle?  How do the indices look?  I obviously didn't spend a lot of time on them, or the tree branches.  I think the card still needs a lot of work, but I'm curious if there's potential there.

Introduce Yourself / Hello everyone!
« on: February 26, 2014, 05:10:55 PM »
Hey all!  I'd just like to take a minute to introduce myself - my name's Renee and my online handle is usually maggock.  I'm an artist and writer, and I've been involved in a few card deck projects - I was the card back designer for The Bestiary, illustrated two cards for Wild Cats of the World, and illustrated a few cards for the Pathfinders animal tarot deck.  My latest project is my Parrots of the World deck, and my very first deck that I've done all by myself! 

I personally love the medium of playing cards as an art form - the idea of being able to carry around 50+ pieces of art in my pocket is great!  I love well designed decks, though I'm only just really getting into collecting them.

I usually work much larger as far as art goes, and I've got a bunch of fantasy and wildlife paintings and drawings in various galleries across the internet (my most recent and most update place to find art is currently my tumblr (parrotea.tumblr.com).

Also... I wrote 2 entire novels about parrots.  Because I'm obsessed.

All right, enough about me!  I went off on a parrot tangent anyways.  I tend to do that.
