The “Telltale Deck ‘o Cards” Project

[divisionten]

A small group of fanartists on the Sam and Max forum recently made a really awesome fanart calendar. But Telltale is so much more, and the forum members are also really diverse and talented. So why don’t we undertake something a bit bigger- like a full 54 card (A-K and two Jokers) deck of cards?

This is not intended for sale- just a fun fanart project for everyone to do!

So that we have some degree of order, here are…

DA RULES:

1. All cards are to be 750 pixels wide by 1050 tall. Essentially, a standard poker sized 2 ½ inch by 3 ½ inch card at 300 dpi. Please upload your finished card to an image-hosting site like Imageshack, and give us all a link.

Since there has been a little confusion- 72 dpi is what home printers and the internet use (and it's the default for Photoshop), but good commercial printers use 300 dpi- and that's usually the standard used by scanners and digital cameras, too. I picked the resolution I did so that regardless of whether you use inches or centimeters, and regardless of your grahic program's settings, we'll have uniformly sized cards.

2. One character, one card. So that we don’t end up with a deck half full of Nelson Tethers, once a character is claimed it’s out of the pool of options. However, characters that have more than one distinct model (human versus demon LeChuck come to mind, or Sam versus a doggleganger), may be treated as spearate characters.

3. Choosing a card: When choosing a card, name the card you’re doing and the character. If you’re doing a joker, pleae mention whether you want the red or black one. First posted, first served.

4. You have three weeks to finish once approved. If you’re not done, tell us that you’re still alive or something. If we haven’t heard from you, the card and character you picked go back into the pool for someone else to choose if they want.

5. Your card must contain the suit and number somewhere on its face. Where, or how large, is entirely up to you. Jokers can say “Joker” or have some other kind of indication without words, but must specify the color somewhere.

6. Other than the size of the card, and that it contains its number and suit, your card can look however you please so long as YOU MADE THE ART ON THE CARD. But don’t limit yourself to just drawing- a photograph of cosplay, a diorama, sculpture- anything goes! Be creative!

7. If you're done with your card and you'd like to make another, feel free..

LASTLY, 8. THIS IS NOT A CONTEST. This is a collaborative project for fun. If you want to participate, pleae do! Be creative, enjoy it, and if you follow rules 1-6, you’re set. There are no prizes, there are no awards. This is just a chance to make something really cool with your fellow forumites.

Below are the claimed cards and characters; this will be updated as things are taken (numbers with links have been completed).

Back Cover:

[Spadge]

Sounds fun.... I think I'd claim the 6 of Hearts, Satan from S&M.
EDIT: Done and done....

http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=276&pictureid=2333

Check out the 750x1050 version back on my DeviantART page (http://relentless666.deviantart.com/art/666-of-Hearts-198325979).

[Ribs]

Despite my lack of quality artistic ability, I'll claim the Jack of all trades of Spades and Stan.

[divisionten]

Added! Good luck! ^__^

[Ribs]

I will laugh till the cows come home is someone takes someone like Sam and makes him the 4 of Hearts or something and then puts Nefirtiti as a King.

[divisionten]

I will laugh till the cows come home is someone takes someone like Sam and makes him the 4 of Hearts or something and then puts Senor Cardgage as a King.

Fixed. You're welcome.

[mathman77]

Someone should really do the 3 of clubs as Max, from the joke in 304.

[SunnyGuy]

I'll try to do Sameth for the king of spades.

Just one question...how much would 750x1050 be in centimeters, I have to draw this thing on a sheet of paper .__.

[Ribs]

Just one question...how much would 750x1050 be in centimeters, I have to draw this thing on a sheet of paper .__.

26.46 x 37.04 according to photoshop

Also; what a waste of a 2000th post.

[divisionten]

It's a pixel count. Since you are doing this by hand, it would be determined by the dpi of your scanner or camera you are taking the photo with. Tell me the DPI and I can tell you the size you need to draw.

26.46 x 37.04 according to photoshop

Also; what a waste of a 2000th post.

That's only if you are using photoshop at its default setting of 72 dpi- good for the internet, bad for printing.

[SunnyGuy]

I have absolutely no idea ^^;

[divisionten]

I have absolutely no idea ^^;

Scanner or camera? I might be able to look it up for you.

[SunnyGuy]

That'd have to wait until I'm back home...which would be in like 8 hours.

[divisionten]

That'd have to wait until I'm back home...which would be in like 8 hours.

All right, let me know when you are home. But I've got you down for the King of Spades, Sameth unless you say otherwise. ^__^

[SunnyGuy]

If it helps, the size for one of my scans of a full page is like 1160x1600.

And Ace? I asked for King but Ace sounds good too XD

[divisionten]

If it helps, the size for one of my scans of a full page is like 1160x1600.

And Ace? I asked for King but Ace sounds good too XD

Twas a typo on my part. It's listed as King. Something tells me getting some villains as Aces would be cool.

[SunnyGuy]

Oh ok. In any case, I'll have to practice before I actually attempt this since I want it to look good (relatively to what I can do that is XD).

[Falanca]

Oh I'd love to do that, but Iunno. My drawing schedule is pretty full these days.

[lombre]

Can I have Charlie Ho-Tep for Ace of Hearts?

[The Mighty M]

I would do Sal as the jack of clubs, but I suck at art. May I suggest someone does it, as it would be awesome to see a little love for Sal.

[Falanca]

I would do Sal as the jack of clubs, but I suck at art. May I suggest someone does it, as it would be awesome to see a little love for Sal.

Never tried Sal, so I'll pass.



Oh the hell. I want Queen of Hearts for Morgan. Just tell me when the deadline is.

[rubygloommel]

By complete coincidence I've already done Max on a Joker card? I dunno if you want that one or not? Otherwise I'd be happy to do something else :)

[Vainamoinen]

Three weeks? I'm in for the cheesy stuff:

Sybil / Queen of Diamond

Shoot, Falanca was faster with the QoH. It's Queen of Diamond, then.

...I wanted Fawful to do Morgan.


I liked Sal too and wasn't happy about his early demise, but he is SO complex to draw. It's Steve's style still, who draws rats and cockroaches far more complex than humans, AND Sal is anthropomorphized to boot. Genius design, difficult to copy.

/edit: And now I hope I translated "As" right as "Diamond". Duh.

[Brainiac]

You know, this idea has reminded me of the Voodoo cards (and my occasional questioning about how comparable they would be to a proper Tarot deck). I'm tempted to recommend making a Telltale Tarot now (which, even if it was just the Minor Arcana, would allow an additional two cards to the planned 54 - four extra "face" cards in place of the two jokers).

[Ribs]

So... who on earth could the other Queens be?

Marzipan? Homsar?!?

[Vainamoinen]

Duh. Someone is bound to pick Elaine... and I personally hope for Momma Bosco somewhere. But I have enough to do right now. ;)

[Hayley the Hedgie]

I would love to do this... unfortunately, my agenda says otherwise... sorry!! :C

[Vainamoinen]

Just one, Hayley... you can't miss it!!!

[Hayley the Hedgie]

Grrr... I have a week off, and still I must use it for study and art exam stuff because of the bloody exams... :'C

[Ribs]

I think it'd be best for each card per suit to be from one franchise, so it's not like the 8s are all Monkey Island Characters.

[Vainamoinen]

Errrr... the more restricted this is, the less people will participate.

[Spinky]

Can I do homsar and senor cardgage as the jokers?

[lombre]

Can I do homsar and senor cardgage as the jokers?

I think it's one card per person..

[Spinky]

Ok, no problem. That's fair. Can I do Senor Cardgage as either a Joker or one of the Kings? Whichever you guys think would be a better fit.

[Vainamoinen]

Hey Spinky, I think there's two Jokers - and one's possibly already taken. So take your pick QUICKLY! ;)

Here's the rundown, because I am mortally afraid to edit divisionten's initial post and mess stuff up:

Heart: 6, 8, Q, A
Spade: J, K,
Diamond: Q
Club:
Jokers: 1 (?Max?)

Characters: Charlie Ho-Tep, Hidden Person, Morgan LeFlay, Satan, Stan, Sammeth, Sybil Pandemik, (Max?).

[adventureaddict]

Well, I'll take the Jack of Clubs for Superball if nobody minds? Just seems like a nice fit :)

[Spinky]

Ok. I'll do Senor Cardgage as the King of Hearts.

[GuruGuru214]

I'd love to get in on this, but I can't really do anything but sprite art. Maybe later I'll see if I can think of one of the Homestar characters to try and do in 8-bit.

[divisionten]

Just woke up. (timezones, remember?) This is lookin pretty good, guys! I'll go back and edit the initial post.

And, as for now, one card a person. Doesn't need to be complex- remember it's not terribly big!

EDIT: People really seem to like face cards. And, to whomever made a Max joker- does it fit the size requirement? If the answer is yes- please! If no, you are welcome to make another. Let me know. As of now, it's yours, but I'm not marking you down for it until you tell me.

[RetroVortex]

Someone has to make one of those cheesy instruction cards too for total authenticity.

Its even better if its in engrish, (you know those cards are going to be so naughty! A-chica-chica-CHICKOW!! XD).

[SunnyGuy]

http://rubygloommel.deviantart.com/art/Joker-Max-194222051

I think it's too big. Which is too bad, I really like it =/

[Falanca]

...I wanted Fawful to do Morgan.

Nothing like a sign of disappointment hits you like a sniper bullet when you just wake up. Promise, man, I won't screw up :<

[Origami]

My 2 cents:

5. Your card must contain the suit and number somewhere on its face. Where, or how large, is entirely up to you. Jokers can say “Joker” or have some other kind of indication without words, but must specify the color somewhere.


I would keep the location of the suit and number indicator consistent. Maybe how Spadge did it, although the design can vary.
This makes the deck usable in real life. Otherwise people that start to use your deck have to locate the suit and number on every card.

Edit: Ofcourse for the aces this can vary, like how in RL the ace of spade is placed largely in the middle.

[Giant Tope]

Can I get the ace of spades?

[Secret Fawful]

Dibs on Governor Elaine Marley for Queen of Clubs.

[divisionten]

Can I get the ace of spades?

Sure. What character?

[Jennifer]

Poo. I was just about to ask for the Ace of Spades for Perducci. :p

[GuruGuru214]

Nothing like a sign of disappointment hits you like a sniper bullet when you just wake up. Promise, man, I won't screw up :<

If it helps any, I'm extremely excited that you're doing Morgan.

[Giant Tope]

I really wanna do Guybrush, but maybe he's better suited as a king? What is you guy's opinion? Actually

Edit: Jennifer can have ace of spades because she actually has an idea. I'll do a king of clubs Guybrush.

[lombre]

I know it's not gonna happen, but it would be amazing if Telltale released this deck in Poker Night as a patch once it's finished.

[divisionten]

Done and done. Jennifer's got Ace of Spades, Perducci, and Tope's got King of Clubs, Guybrush.

We're a quarter of the way there! Seems like a number of main characters are yet to be claimed, too. Actually, a LOT are up for grabs. Like Marty, Young Doc, and Doc from BttF, Nelson Tethers, Sam (and possibly Max), LeChuck, Homestar, and Strongbad just to name a few.

[Giant Tope]

i did say clubs

[divisionten]

i did say clubs

I type too fast for my own good sometimes. Fixed and added.

Also, I think whomever is doing the remaining Queen should make it Hugh Bliss. Just sayin'.

[Secret Fawful]

I had a hard time picking between Elaine, Momma Bosco, Wallace, Gromit, the Bones, Thorn, Grandma Ben, Graham, or Rick from the Walking Dead, but ended up going with Elaine.

[Falanca]

If it helps any, I'm extremely excited that you're doing Morgan.

It does. A lot. Thanks man.

EDIT: By the way, I guess Elaine fits Queen of Hearts more. Should I switch to another Queen for Morgan before it's too late? Spades will do I guess, or Diamond?

[Secret Fawful]

I wanted Elaine to be the Queen of Diamonds due to pirates and treasure and her earring, but I don't know who picked diamonds already.

[BiggerJ]

Edit: nevermind

[GuruGuru214]

Why edit instead of just deleting your post?

[light_rises]

Duh. Someone is bound to pick Elaine... and I personally hope for Momma Bosco somewhere. But I have enough to do right now. ;)

Your wish is my command!

Dr. Momma Bosco for Queen of Spades, please. :D

Unless Falanca ends up switching to that instead. Spades does seem more fitting for Morgan, now that I think about it. Hmm ...

[divisionten]

@ Falanca: I'm really excited to see your Morgan, too. Actually, I'm really excited to see everyone's stuff.

light_rises: I'll go ahead and mark you down as the reamining queen and Momma Bosco. If the four people doing the queen cards shift around which one they're doing, be my guest, so long as we end up with one of each. ^___^

[Jennifer]

Here's my Perducci as the Ace of Spades card. :)

http://jenni.wdfiles.com/local--files/telltale-games/perducci.png

The full size image can be found at my deviantART page (http://jennibee.deviantart.com/art/Perducci-The-Ace-of-Spades-198399015)

[dustindemon]

This is an AWESOME idea, I love everything about it. Think I could snag the 2 of Hearts, along with Sexy Peepers from What's New, Beelzebub?

[Falanca]

I wanted Elaine to be the Queen of Diamonds due to pirates and treasure and her earring, but I don't know who picked diamonds already.

That makes sense actually. At first I thought Morgan would fit hearts since her backstory heavily involves love, but, you know, Elaine is the love of the protagonist, so... But I guess it can stay that way.

I feel bad about not having Girl Stinky as one of the queens, though. She's a mermaid, I mean...

[Vainamoinen]

Ohhhh... poor Sybil keeps getting kicked out of her card. :D

But I wanted Fawful to do a card, he does, so I'll budge.

Elaine gets my Diamond, and Sybil has to cope with Clubs.

And no offense, Falanca: You'll_do_great. ESPECIALLY with Morgan. ;)

[GuruGuru214]

Wait, so which queen is which now?

[Falanca]

Nothing is changed. I do Queen of Hearts.

[Secret Fawful]

Ohhhh... poor Sybil keeps getting kicked out of her card. :D

But I wanted Fawful to do a card, he does, so I'll budge.

I'm glad someone else is doing Morgan. I've done Morgan too many times. Since I got Elaine changed to diamonds, Tope wants Guybrush to be diamonds as well.

[Vainamoinen]

This is getting complicated.

Nothing's changed for Falanca and light_rises.

The Queens are as follows:

Q Club: Vainamoinen, Sybil Pandemik
Q Diamond: Secret Fawful, Elaine Marley-Threepwood
Q Hearts: Falanca, Morgan LeFlay
Q Spades: light_rises, Dr. Momma Bosco


In fact, Morgan as Queen of Hearts is QUITE fitting. I remember quite well that while Morgan developed as a character (and Elaine essentially didn't), people kept asking for Guybrush to actually dump Elaine. It was horrible. HORRIBLE. ;)

[rubygloommel]

I think it's too big. Which is too bad, I really like it =/

Sorry 'bout the late reply - but I should have no problem fixing the size, so if you want it I'll get it done sometime this week :)

[The Highway]

Ooh, I'll do a joker, and I'll use Biff Tannen if I can!

Scratch that, I want to do The Ace of Diamonds and Treasure Crab

[divisionten]

As it stands now... all the diamonds are MI. Should the Jack be Winslow?

And, Ruby, you've got Red Joker Max.

We have almost all the face cards done!

[Falanca]

So I was doodling around.

http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp352/Falanca/queenmorgan.png

She looks like goth Princess Daisy, sorry about that. Also I used this style of mine but I'm not sure myself, it doesn't feel Morgan-ish.. If it's that bad I can do over, it's pretty fun to be honest.

Actually, that's ten kinds of awesome!

[Vainamoinen]

You are SO raising the standard. ;)

If you're itching for more, I'd say take another pick! It's not like we're actually getting 54 people on board. As it stands, people will have to "get" that all the number cards in this deck supposedly are face cards as well. ;)

[Falanca]

Ah, thanks a lot!

I guess I'll wait for everyone to take their first choice, you know. Wouldn't like to stick my nose into someone's fave character. I mean, again.

Actually, that's ten kinds of awesome!

Well, didn't expect thaat... Thanks!

Something about the size bugs me though. Did Photobucket resize it or something? I also gotta check the dpi again.

I remember quite well that while Morgan developed as a character (and Elaine essentially didn't), people kept asking for Guybrush to actually dump Elaine. It was horrible. HORRIBLE. ;)
Yeah, I was one of those people.

[rubygloommel]

Here we go, all re-sized and what-not :) - http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2011/053/4/2/joker_max_small_by_rubygloommel-d3a4p28.jpg

And if there's a shortage of people I've no problem doing another :)

And a link just in case - http://rubygloommel.deviantart.com/art/Joker-Max-Small-198413792

[Falanca]

That's awesome!

The deck seriously gets to become the ultimate Telltale deck I wanted to see in Poker Night but couldn't.

[divisionten]

It's been less than a day and we've already got four done, and sixteen people signed up! But we're seriously short on Bone, BttF, Jurassic Park, and their new licenses.

[Weeblerjake]

Aah, I want to take part in this, but after seeing everybody else's stuff, I don't think I could meet your standards!

[divisionten]

Aah, I want to take part in this, but after seeing everybody else's stuff, I don't think I could meet your standards!

[Jennifer]

But we're seriously short on Bone, BttF, Jurassic Park, and their new licenses.
I can help with that if you don't mind me dipping in for seconds. :)

If there's no problem, I'll take a King of Clubs for King Graham. He definitely deserves to have a King card before they're all taken. :cool:

[lombre]

Man, mine (http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y220/lombre459/CharlieHotepCard.png) isn't anywhere near as good as all these other cards. Thank god this isn't a contest.
I am sorta proud of my tentacle hearts though.

[Origami]

I want to see Falanca do something else outside of MI. I have only seen him do those up till now, which were all great. Could you do 1 or 2 characters from BttF?

Ya know, if you're running short on volunteers and people doing the new licenses I wouldn't mind doing a Fables card :) Is there an updated list of which cards are taken anywhere?

[Ribs]

I think it'd be wise to hold off at least until we have some idea what characters/what art style TTG is going with for the new licenses.

WALLACE AND GROMIT DOES NEED LOVE THOUGH

WALLACE AND GROMIT DOES NEED LOVE THOUGH

Both good points actually - better hold off on the new licenses before we see some kind of artwork.

[Ribs]

I'd like to suggest the other Joker if it isn't taken to be Banang.

[Spinky]

Ok. Here it is. Senor Cardgage as the King of Hearts. http://spinky1.deviantart.com/art/TellTale-Games-Playing-Cards-198430633


What do you guys think? I am open to suggestions.

[Weeblerjake]

I'm thinking of doing a card with Einstein, if he'd work.
Not sure which card yet.

Here's my King Graham as the King of Clubs.

http://jenni.wdfiles.com/local--files/telltale-games/kinggraham.png

The full version is at my deviantART page (http://jennibee.deviantart.com/art/Graham-King-of-Clubs-198435796).

These are so much fun. :) I'd love to do more, but I already did two so I'll sit back and let other people have their go at making cards. But if you end up still needing cards later I'm definitely up for making more. :D

[Spinky]

It's been less than a day and we've already got four done, and sixteen people signed up! But we're seriously short on Bone, BttF, Jurassic Park, and their new licenses.

I could do a Jurassic Park one if it's OK for me to do another card. How about a raptor as the jack of diamonds.

[SunnyGuy]

Well, I have an sketch of how I want my card to look like, I'll scan and post it later (it's too big so definitely not the final sketch ^^; )

[GuruGuru214]

So I was doodling around.

http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp352/Falanca/queenmorgan.png

She looks like goth Princess Daisy, sorry about that. Also I used this style of mine but I'm not sure myself, it doesn't feel Morgan-ish.. If it's that bad I can do over, it's pretty fun to be honest.

You must put this on deviantArt so I can favorite it!

Coincidence? Somehow, I don't think so.

[Falanca]

I want to see Falanca do something else outside of MI. I have only seen him do those up till now, which were all great. Could you do 1 or 2 characters from BttF?
Actually, I've been thinking of that. I wouldn't hate doing Young Emmeth. Face cards are too much so Iunno, maybe I can put him in 8. Though I'm pretty busy these days so I guess I won't be finishing this the day after. But I guess I'll be taking the card for now. 3 weeks deadline is good stuff

Bartender, Young Emmeth for 8 of the clubs, please.

Oh and, I want Hayley the Hedgie to do a Papierwaite card. Not doing the card before my demand is fulfilled.

You must put this on deviantArt so I can favorite it!

I'm so not confident about it, I started to think like people will go mad even if I draw stickmen or something.

I guess I'll update my dA page with that, the place has been deserted for a week or two :<

[Weeblerjake]

Alright, put me down with Einstein and the 8 of spades.

[SunnyGuy]

Well, here's the sketch for mine.

[Ribs]

Well, here's the sketch for mine.

http://thesunnyguy.deviantart.com/art/Sameth-of-Spades-sketch-198489839

oh me oh my are you good at drawing

[SunnyGuy]

I prefer to think of myself as mediocre. I'm definitely not good, but I won't lie and say that I can't draw well either.

[divisionten]

OK, guys, I'm awake. I'll add everything I've missed.

Sunnyguy: Do you want me to clean that sketch up for you? The edges look a bit funny. The sketch itself is awesome, but when you photographed it or scanned it, the light didn't shine evenly.

[Falanca]

By the way, could you put my Young Emmeth on 8 of the SPADES instead of CLUBS? I have a little itsy bitsy idea for spades, so...

EDIT: NVM done by Weeblerjake. It may stay in clubs.

Oh also, is symmetric pictures for number cards a good idea, or should it be used only for face cards?

[Weeblerjake]

Please, criticize me.

Ok, how do you think this looks?
http://i54.tinypic.com/2rdl179.png

Any suggestions would work too. I'm terrible with eyes.

[Falanca]

Lot better. My rendition of Einstein would be a lot more furry below his head but I think it's good enough.

[Secret Fawful]

@Weebler: I suggest getting rid of the white around the edges of the 8's. Then it'll be perfect!

[Weeblerjake]

Oh, geez, how'd I miss that?
I'm headed to bed now, but I'll fix that tomorrow, and I might see what I can do to make him furrier.

[SunnyGuy]

And it's done :D

[mathman77]

And it's done :D

http://thesunnyguy.deviantart.com/art/King-Sameth-of-Spades-198509504

Really like how this one turned out. Really cool!

Well, I got two awesome ideas, and I come here to find both cards are taken! I'll be back...

[Spinky]

Here is an updated version of my Senor Cardgage card. The "K" on the bottom of the card wasn't oriented correctly, so if you were holding the card upside down, both "K"s and hearts would be upside down. It's fixed now though.

http://spinky1.deviantart.com/art/UPDATED-Senor-Cardgage-198518643



Also, is it OK if I go ahead and do a JP raptor for the Jack of diamonds? If we want to leave it open for others thats fine, I just noticed no one is doing any Jurassic Park cards yet and I love doing dinosaur art.

[GuruGuru214]

I just realized something. If we're doing a 54 card deck here, we're going to need 55 images. Someone's got to design the back.

[Falanca]

That's smart thinking. I believe back design is the one requiring the most effort and consideration.


I say Hayley the Hedgie should do it. 8D

[Icedhope]

I want to do a T-rex for one of the kings, but I lack artistic talent.

or a raptor as the ace of spades.

[Secret Fawful]

Done.

http://fawfulhasfury.deviantart.com/art/A-Telltale-Queen-of-Diamonds-198534990

If anyone has any suggestions or critiques let me know. I used a couple of textures and the CaslonAntique font from Curse for the Q's. I hope that's allowed. D:

That's the most greatest thing I've ever... Faved!

[Vainamoinen]

GREAT. Damn, I have to finish my OTHER Sam & Max project before I get to this one. Good thing it's three weeks, and we will have to keep this thread alive anyway.

Maybe we could compile a "possible characters" list. That might make future artists' pick easier.

[Falanca]

*ahem*

8 for Trogdor, as in 8 Bit perhaps...
2 for Coach Z, as in ONE...TWO...
A Papierwaite and Skunkape one SOMEWHERE
A BANANG CARD.
Had more in mind...

[Vainamoinen]

Also not taken:

Roscoe Bosco.

Also incredible that no one yet wanted:
Flint Paper!!

One of the 4's could certainly be:
The C.O.P.S.

Also certainly "a character":
the DeSoto

From the Tales, our favourite not-yet takens are:

Murray!! Can you believe it?

Anemone

Coronado de Cava

I'm going to be a dick and snag a second one, too. I'm calling dibs on Anemone for the 7 of Hearts. AND WHY IS THERE NO WINSLOW?

Also, I updated the first page. A lot. If I'm missing something, or there's something wrong, tell me!

Also, also, does the Geek count? I know she's not a Telltale used character, but I'm half done with the cosplay for her.

[Ribs]

BANANG!

DeSinge

Wallace

Gromit

Narrarator

[Spadge]

For the fun of it... I did one more. 5 of Diamonds, Flycatcher from Fables. (http://relentless666.deviantart.com/art/Flycatcher-Card-198570185)

[lombre]

Hey, is it alright if I swap out my last Charlie Ho-Tep card for this new and improved one? Featuring a 75% more demented Charlie, a gradient heart, and properly arranged suits b/w numbers!

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y220/lombre459/CharlieHotepCard2.png

Also his cheeks match up this time... :o

[Weeblerjake]

Ok, he's my final result. Use this one.
http://i53.tinypic.com/24g8w3c.png

[Klatuu]

I've had a few ideas rattling around in my skull for a while. Put me down for Murray, 3 of Spades. Hopefully I'll have time to get it done.

P.S. If we're including Fables characters, maybe someone should draw Jack as...a Jack. (Jack of Hearts based on what's left.)

[GuruGuru214]

Okay, I must be out of my mind, but I'm going to try to sprite the C.O.P.S. (or if they count as separate characters, just Bluster Blaster) and put them on the 4 of diamonds.

[divisionten]

I'll take Bosco for Joker of Hearts

There's no such thing as the Joker of Hearts. There' the Jack of hearts, and the Black Joker. Which one you want?

[lombre]

I.. I just realized that my Charlie Ho-Tep lacks ears. I'll fix that tomorrow. :o

[GuruGuru214]

I'm finding that I really suck at NES-style 8-bit sprites. I usually work in GBC-style 8-bit sprites, the difference being outlines. I felt that NES-style would be more appropriate, though. I may or may not be done with Bluster Blaster, and I'm not sure if I want to include Carol.

[GuruGuru214]

All finished. It's simple, but I think I pulled off the feel I was going for.

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y99/GuruGuru214/th_COPS4Diamonds.png (http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y99/GuruGuru214/COPS4Diamonds.png)

[Falanca]

I believe that's more than just a simple addition to the deck; it's splendid. I love the retroness of that card, fitting everything about COPS. Good job Guru!

Do you think Tycho and Heavy counts as Telltale characters?

[GuruGuru214]

Thanks! Trying to do spritework without outlines is a major pain in the ass when you're used to using them, but it's totally worth it to get that retro NES feel I wanted for the C.O.P.S.

And thanks to Vainamoinen for giving me the idea. Being limited to spritework, I was thinking the only characters it would feel fitting for would be someone from Homestar Runner. I'd completely forgotten about the C.O.P.S.

[Vainamoinen]

Whoa. Guru wins two internets, again!

...you know, there's ample possibility for more pixelated retro cards. ;)

Now I feel bad because I didn't start yet. Hope I finish project 1 this weekend, and next week's Sybil time.

[GuruGuru214]

Thanks! If there's a character you'd like to see, name it. I'm up for attempting another one if there's still enough cards for me to do a second one.

[prizna]

Can I have the 5 of Spades and "Randal Scruffman" from "Puzzle Agent"

My Poetry teacher approves. He was also my science teacher, my math teacher, my literature teacher, my social studies teacher, my sex ed teacher, my history teacher- he was all of my teachers! I always meant to ask him about that but every time I brought it up he'd show me a mirror and I'd get so wrapped up in talking to myself, the only man who can keep up with me, I wouldn't think about it anymore.

And if you believe that one I'll tell you another.

[lombre]

Okay, here it is, my completed Charlie Ho-Tep card. I gave Charlie his ears back and also cleaned up some other details on the card. This should be the last time I have to change it.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y220/lombre459/CharlieHotepCardFinal.png

How's it look? Hopefully not too crappy...

[prizna]

Here is my card:

http://www.majhost.com/gallery/prizna/Pictures/randalcomplete.jpg

[GuruGuru214]

Huh, I didn't have that problem with Photobucket. Maybe try saving it as a .png file? It looks like you have some jpeg artifacts anyway. Really awesome work, though.

[prizna]

I just tried uploading it as a PNG like you suggested but it still reduced the pixels after it was uploaded. I don't know why it would do that.

[Falanca]

That also happened to me. Weird. PNG doesn't solve it.

[GuruGuru214]

Huh, I wonder why I was okay, then. Maybe it's a file size thing, though I can't imagine how my card would have any less of a file size than Prizna's.

[prizna]

I just updated my card, I decided to make the 5 and spade look like bits of metal bolted together.

[rubygloommel]

@ Prizna I really love the bolted-together-metal thing you did! Looks pretty cool :D

[The Gentleman]

3 of hearts.

Nelson Tethers.

[Ribs]

I'd just like to say the last Jack (Hearts) should be Flint Paper to fit the theme of the other Jacks.

Nelson as the 3 of hearts!

I really do love how you draw Nelson. Do you have a Deviant Art account I can watch or something?

[prizna]

I just fixed the lines up on my card, they were to solid, I tried to make them look more "Grickle" like.

[Spinky]

It took longer than I expected, but my raptor card is finally done. http://spinky1.deviantart.com/art/Jurassic-Park-Raptor-Card-198879544

[divisionten]

Sorry bout the delay, people. I'll update the front page. Internet's been spotty at best this past week.

[Avistew]

If after we're done with the decks people have more ideas, may I suggest doing a 78 deck? (Add cavaliers (between Jack and Queen), the excuse and 21 trumps).

I like designing card decks. Actually, I feel like linking to my Order (http://avistew.deviantart.com/art/OOTS-Cards-Blueprints-68528810?q=boost%3Apopular%20oots%20cards&qo=1) of (http://avistew.deviantart.com/art/OOTS-Cards-Banjos-68585948?q=boost%3Apopular%20oots%20cards&qo=2) the (http://avistew.deviantart.com/art/OOTS-Cards-Greenhilt-Swords-68660820?q=boost%3Apopular%20oots%20cards&qo=3) Stick (http://avistew.deviantart.com/art/OOTS-Cards-Demon-Roaches-68743755?q=boost%3Apopular%20oots%20cards&qo=0) ones I made a while back.

(Yes, blatant promotion, I know).

Also, amazing work here, guys. Can't wait to see the finished product.

[The Gentleman]

Would I be able to do the Heavy? He was in Poker Night after all.

[lombre]

I'm gonna go ahead and call a second card if nobody minds. Larry Palaroncini for 7 of Diamonds, please!

[Vainamoinen]

Two weeks to go!
I've made my first sketches after finishing my other Sam & Max project. First attempts were ugly, so it's going to take a little while. ;)


re. divisionten's spotty internet: I took the massive liberty to put lombre up for his desired card and updated the first post.

Also, Avistev, what's your card??

And TheGentleman, what card would you like for the Heavy?

[mightypiratetm]

Hmm, since all the recent Deck o' cards Project submissions in the TTG-FC DA group I've been thinking a lot about a folder for the Deck o' cards project. Should I create one?

[rubygloommel]

Have we seriously not got anyone doing a Sam card yet? We need to find someone!...Someone who's better at drawing him than we hopefully :P

[SunnyGuy]

Well, I did Sameth which is close I guess?

Well I guess, I'm just surprised no-one's wanted to draw Sam's card. :/

Well, I imagine people are just avoiding the more obvious ones in favor of characters that don't get as much attention.

[lombre]

Here's my Larry Palaroncini card.
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y220/lombre459/LarryPalaronciniCard.png

I think it turned out pretty good. Or as Larry would say, "ALRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!" That said, after listening to Night Mamas, Because, It's Midnite, and We Don't Really Even Care About You on endless loop while I was making this, my brain might not be functioning correctly.

[Avistew]

What's going to be on the back of the cards?

[GuruGuru214]

I thought maybe we should do some sort of collaborative effort for the back, but it'd probably end up too crowded or something, not to mention that everything would probably end up pretty small at actual printing size.

[Falanca]

I thought maybe we should do some sort of collaborative effort for the back, but it'd probably end up too crowded or something, not to mention that everything would probably end up pretty small at actual printing size.

We can make TWO backs, actually. You know, back images for a blue deck and a red deck. In that case making a collab would become slightly easier.

[jmm]

I could work on a few, but unfortunately I'm on vacation and I only have a crappy 6 year old notebook to work with. Maybe I'll manage to do something decent with Paint.Net.

Ace of clubs: Theodore Dudebrough (From Telltale Texas Hold'em)

Also:
Leonard Steakcharmer/Boris Krinkle, Hugh Bliss and Jürgen deserve a card.
Also we need CSI, Wallace&Grommit and Bone characters

[Avistew]

I thought maybe we should do some sort of collaborative effort for the back, but it'd probably end up too crowded or something, not to mention that everything would probably end up pretty small at actual printing size.

I think we could use the ttg logo (the three circles with the letters) as a print (by which I mean small and repeated, not one big logo), one on a red background and one on a blue one. Since it's a telltale deck, it seems to make the most sense to me, and then no need to collaborate since it's not like anyone is creating the logo.

COWER IN FEAR, Unfortunate Mortal! For today, Fortune hath spit upon thee, and Fate hath given you the finger! Cursed you shall be above all the livestock for today Life has dealt you a hand worse than Death! You have drawn the DEATHCARD! MURRAY: THE THREE OF SPADES!

MWAHAHAHAHA!

So, TREMBLE IN FEAR, pitiful human, for Murray is reborn! I shall-oh, you know the rest.

[Brainiac]

If after we're done with the decks people have more ideas, may I suggest doing a 78 deck? (Add cavaliers (between Jack and Queen), the excuse and 21 trumps).

I'd forgotten about the modern European tarot decks (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Card_deck#Tarot). Since they're basically expansions of the modern sets with the same suits and all, that would certainly make more sense than a formal tarot deck (http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/showpost.php?p=456239&postcount=24). I must admit, I've never seen a modern-suited 78-card deck.

[Light]

I did a quick draft for the Tixie card.

Is this alright? I know it's not the right size, I was just experimenting.

[Falanca]

Yes, my good man. It is alright. More than alright.

Saluted wholeheartedly.

[lombre]

Ehh... I know it'll be hard, but I say a collab would be awesome.

I'd like to chime in and say that a collab for the back of the cards would be amazing!

[Avistew]

It's what comes to everyone's mind first, but dunno, I think that's just... too easy.

I think there is something to be said about simplicity. If you look at the back of cards, they're made to be simple and not take your attention, because the focus is the front of the cards. The back is a placeholder. You don't want it to be noisy or crowded.

I must admit, I've never seen a modern-suited 78-card deck.

I used to play tarot almost every day in high school during the break. I was in my 20s before I heard of the other kind of tarot, the one with the other suites. Then I researched it, incidentally.
What it is is simply that hearts, clubs and so on were the suites used in French (for any card game). The English used swords, cups, etc.
Then the English for some reason took the French suites for the 54 deck but kept their other suites for tarot decks. The French just kept the same suites for everything, as it had always been.

So for people of English descent (or English speakers in general, nowadays), there are two kinds of suites, the ones for "normal" decks and the ones for tarot. But in France, and I assume a bunch of other places, it's just the same.

I wonder if there are places that use different suites. The "French" ones has become pretty standard, it seems to me.

[jeeno0142]

Deathcard!

I really like how you've made his eye sockets and nose look like the spades symbol! That's clever.

[Klatuu]

Thanks! I was hoping that would come across well!

[Fly]

Please may I claim Jurgen for Two of Spades?

[Hayley the Hedgie]

Alright... I've decided to give this a shot after all..

put me down for Sam, Black Joker.

[GuruGuru214]

Awesome!

[light_rises]

I was secretly hoping for two things:

1) Hayley would do a card.

2) Whoever made the Sam card would choose the other Joker.

And now both have come true in one conveniently splendiferous post! Hip hip! :D

[SunnyGuy]

Alright... I've decided to give this a shot after all..

Yay :D

[Hayley the Hedgie]

>///<

Um, is it 750x1050 at 300 dpi? Or at 72 dpi?

[Falanca]

>///<

300 that is.

[adventureaddict]

Just wondering, when is 3 weeks up?

(Glad to see Sam and Max as the jokers. Definetly fits!)

[divisionten]

OK, people. I'm back. Mostly. I still can't access my email accounts, but I think I can at least use TT again. I'll update the first page.

EDIT: jmm called the remaining face card (the Ace of Spades) first, so it's his- but I really like where light's going with her Trixie card. If you also want to do Marty, he'll have t be a different number. My own cards are almost done.. they required a bit of property reorganization for one... and a lot of cellotape.

[GuruGuru214]

Umm...Jennifer did Perducci on the ace of spades a while ago. The only face card left is the jack of hearts.

[SillyStell]

Hey, thought it over and I was wondering if you could put me down for Noir Sam for the Jack of Hearts.

Could I have the 4 of hearts instead?

[rubygloommel]

http://i334.photobucket.com/albums/m414/SillyStell/Samnoircard.png

Love it! :D

[Falanca]

You're a goddess, Stell. That's a work of goddess. What I see is some strict goddessary.

[Jennifer]

The cards are really getting filled up now. :D

We still need cards from Bone, Hector, and maybe the Heavy and Tycho.

[rubygloommel]

The heavy and Tycho aren't realllly Tell Tale Games characters though :/ I think we should stick just to TT characters maybe? We should have more than enough.

[Bunnyman]

The heavy and Tycho aren't realllly Tell Tale Games characters though :/ I think we should stick just to TT characters maybe? We should have more than enough.

I think Heavy and Tycho are just as much in Telltale's list of characters as Max or Strong Bad in my opinion. Telltale doesn't actually own any of the IPs they use and can only co-own characters they make. (I think)

[GuruGuru214]

You're a goddess, Stell. That's a work of goddess. What I see is some strict goddessary.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

[SunnyGuy]

The "Jack Noir" part made me laugh. Why? Hell if I know.

I love it btw.

You know, is there any way to hack this things into Poker Night? That would be ****ing awesome. I know it's easier said than done, but still.

[Vainamoinen]

Shoot. My computer broke down yesterday, and it seems like it'll be two weeks until I get it back. I was just coloring my Sybil sketch when it started making rather unhealthy noises.

Keeping the deadline will be very hard now. I have finished the card "on paper", and even colored it in case there will be no time for digital enhancements, but without my home computer, I'll have massive problems digitalizing the thing. I'll get it up, even if I have to photograph it!!

[Falanca]

I'll also try to produce the thing I promised. School and some other stuff made me unable to work on it till now, so...

[divisionten]

Don't worry. Inclement weather (read: snow and slush and rain) has made it impossible for me to finish mine just yet either (I'm making an outdoor thing with Hidden People and the Shinto shrine near my apartment) The deadline was put in place to keep people from slacking off.

[Falanca]

One more totally stupid question;

Can I get a third card when I'm finished with this one?

...and um, can it be Tycho? If not, I guess I'll stop at 2....

[Falanca]

So why are we all quiet now ._.

[GuruGuru214]

Well, partially because the only person with the ability to edit the OP (without taking liberties, that is) was just involved in the 7th most powerful earthquake in history. Partially because our pool of contributors has been pretty much tapped out.

I feel intensely bad because I just realized that now.
EDIT: And my feeling has just grew tenfold since I just realized divisionten was the one created the thread about the earthquake.

Partially because our pool of contributors has been pretty much tapped out.

Well, I haven't. I don't want all those to go waste, really.

[GuruGuru214]

I can't think of another character who would be suited to my spriting style, but I'd be happy to take suggestions for another card.

[mathman77]

Wow, there are some amazing cards here now! Not to mention most of the good characters being taken. Would Max's spores count as a different character? I call 2 of spades if so.

[Falanca]

It would I suppose!

So, well, fine :/

Hope you guys like.

[GuruGuru214]

Very nice!

[Falanca]

Thanks Guru!

[1nky]

Pitching in - could I do Sal as the Jack of Clubs, as The Mighty M suggested?

[Martin McFly]

Falanca, great work on Emmett. I especially like the shading and the pose. I also like what you did with the number '8'. Generally, an amazing contribution to the deck of cards.

[adventureaddict]

Jack of Clubs is already taken :)
(I'll have mine up by Wednesday!)

[Falanca]

I call dibs on Tycho btw, if I can have it. 10 of diamonds.

[jeeno0142]

I can't think of another character who would be suited to my spriting style, but I'd be happy to take suggestions for another card.

I'd like to see anouther card by you, so how about The Internet from Reality 2.0, or Stinkoman from 8 Bit is Enough?

[GuruGuru214]

Those are ideas. I'll give it a shot. I'll take the 8 of diamonds. Not sure which character yet, I want to see which I have a better shot at pulling off.

[Spinky]

Trogdor could also work as a sprite.

[GuruGuru214]

I considered that. And if it comes out like crap, then I can say that's how he's supposed to be! Alternately, I could draw a really crappy Trogdor card on notebook paper, but I don't think that's what you guys want from me.

[1nky]

Sorry, misread.

Sal for Jack of Hearts, then?

[GuruGuru214]

You may want to read through any posts newer than the edit timestamp on the OP, just to make sure nobody's called it, but that should probably be okay.

[SillyStell]

I did the Jack of Hearts but it hasn't been updated in the OP, sorry I don't wanna seem like a jerk -.o

[GuruGuru214]

Oh, right, I forgot that was hearts. Looks like all the face cards are done.

[Falanca]

Good thing I was able to get one in that rush I guess :I

[1nky]

I did the Jack of Hearts but it hasn't been updated in the OP, sorry I don't wanna seem like a jerk -.o

It's fine, dude. :D I'll just do another card.

[Vainamoinen]

It exists... but I still don't have my home computer back, so I can't scan/crop/digitally enhance the picture yet. It'll be at least a week...

[GuruGuru214]

Wow. Damn, you're awesome.

[divisionten]

Hey, this afternoon I'm going to go back through and update this thread. Sorry for abandoning it for a bit, but I believe that a "F--n act of nature" is a legitimate excuse.

[GuruGuru214]

I think the only way you could have an excuse more legitimate than that would be if it was "I was in a coma". Seriously, I think not having this thread updated was the last thing most of us were worried about.

But thanks for coming back to it so quickly. Things were getting a little confusing. :D

[divisionten]

Updated.

I'm going to start sending out reminder PMs to those who haven't checked in with their cards.

Unfortunately, I have to start my cards over from scratch, though. Anemone was handpained on bristol board with gauche (maybe 1/3 done?) and the Hidden People were an army of cardboard cutouts intended for a photograph. And they're in my apartment. In Japan.

[Hayley the Hedgie]

Quick question - what would be better: Sam juggling corndogs or the flaming Max heads??

[Vainamoinen]

Sam juggling flaming Max heads?

Or BOTH, Hayley... BOTH??

No PM for me, please, I'll do it... ah, what the heck. RIGHT NOW.

No photographs of in-progress work from the guache piece? How did that material treat you? Guache scares the hell out of me... even more than oils. :D

Aw ship, you're right man. How I couldn't think of that... :D

Saw your Sybil too. One fine hot momma she is! :) <3

Rush job on the coloring, but I wanted to get this done. I really don't normally miss any deadline... wouldn't have kept my job if I did. ;)

[Secret Fawful]

URRRRRGGGGGH! I'll get mine done. Today.

[Falanca]

Wait wait wait... I got TYCHO? REALLY? OH MY GOD THAT'S EXTRAORDINARILY AWESOME. It's nearly awesome as that gorgeous Sybil card, but not exactly.
