Hey Guys,
This deck is called Surge and will follow the Galvanic storyline. It will focus more on the darker side and will showcase the Villains the Galvanics have to face. Now going into these projects, I know for a fact they are very different then most custom decks on the market. These have more of a sci-fi theme to them rather then cards to perform with for your average magician. However, playing cards and animation have always been my two passions so I am excited to be doing this again.
Why February though? Well not only because so many decks are launching all at once but I am focusing on two things for this deck. The custom artwork themselves AND a visual 3d animated short film. This short film will run roughly between 5-7 mins and will explain the storyline, the Galvanics and how the Surges came about.
To get you guys interested, below is a link that shows test footage of what I've been working on these past few days alone. This will be the opening sequence to the short film. Please keep in mind this is a quick in-program render and is not the final product. A lot of animation still needs to occur.

My goal of this short film is to really get the audiences attention for the amount of work that is being put into this, the story, the 3d models, the animation and the deck designs.
I also attached an image of what the earth will look like rendered. During post production I will be adding clouds and just before the Galvanic gains momentum, he will be basically catching on fire (Basically what something looks like when they reach earths atmosphere)
How will it end? The vision I have on paper and in my head is to have the closing sequence revealing what the Surge will look like as a Galvanic strives to survive a battle sequence.
I am putting 110% into this animation, rendering, sound effects etc etc. I will also be updating this thread throughout this entire process as months roll on. I will post teaser images, more animation renders as seen above and more of the artwork. I won't reveal too much as the puzzle pieces will fall into place once you see the film.
I attached the earth rendered to show the amount of detail being put into this.
I would love as much feedback as possible and I am truly looking forward for this project. Thank to everyone who took the time to read this and what the video clip.
Thank you!
