gonna go down the list of all these and give some behind the scenes talking about their conception, 1 to 2 a day starting tomorrow, might even share some sketches

While not the oldest concept to predate the deck, Aurora Warrior, originally called Aurora Knight was the first card I designed back in 2023 when the goal was just to make 12 of these things For it I borrowed a drawing I made in 2020, funny to see how little has changed bsky.app/profile/hrab...

Organ Donor is also a repurposed design, but from a drawing I had done just a few weeks before However, the name and added organ aesthetic did stem from the DJ Shadow song. I wanted to keep these cards fairly reference free but I made some exceptions bsky.app/profile/hrab...

Mad Mage was also a recent repurpose, I just really liked drawing wizards in this over the top intense way so in the pot it went bsky.app/profile/hrab...

Started as a character in another project of mine Light Spectral, but I swapped out for a more oracle looking guy. The visual of a floating head that you can’t get rid of that spouts prophecies that are near indecipherable in their esoteric old English speak amuses me bsky.app/profile/hrab...

The first card I designed that wasn’t a repurposed idea, I originally thought about making the goop green but it being red instead adds some freaky ambiguity to what actually happened here that I like bsky.app/profile/hrab...

Another repurposing of an old drawing of mine, very inspired by eastern/central European cultures layer for their bitter winters, along with that areas folk art imagery bsky.app/profile/hrab...

Future Artificer is evoking my love as a kid for the vaguely steampunk and intricate spindly analog tech, along with intricate multicolored lenses to detect all sorts of magick frequencies bsky.app/profile/hrab...

Jinxed Shapeshifter ended up being a test of the waters for body horror to be a motif in some of these cards, also just how far I wanted to go before it started getting too gory or gratuitous in the original version he was blue but I decided to go a bit more realistic bsky.app/profile/hrab...
