technically, somebody did the ace of wands, and the same somebody did the 10 of swords. hopefully people have stopped talking about the cards because they're working on making them, but experience with the major arcana tells us this could take a while. personally, i'm waiting for inspiration to attack again. that could also take a while, especially since i'm channeling my creativity into making shelving from cardboard at the moment (although that new page with the hand tree was tempting me to make a new ace of wands )

Okay, I made one for each suit (I'll change the labels once the names are decided). I did 1000x618; nikita suggested Phi and what with the science-nature dynamic I thought it would be perfect (that can also be changed though, if need be). These are the suggestions I gleaned from this and the theme-poll thread: (just to have them all in one place, unless I missed one/some) Cups, Hearts, Cauldrons, Chalices, Goblets, Beakers Swords, Spades, Daggers, Cutlasses, Gladii Coins, Diamonds, Pentacles, Discs, Cogs, Gears Rods, Clubs, Wands, Staves, Sticks/Branches/Trees, Batons I think maybe there should be a poll for each suit or something (maybe a poll on how to arrange them first, to cut down the options)... Especially since they can be grouped in quite a few different ways...(classically, using alliteration, court-related, etc).

Nice work Somnium! Your 4 of Swords in particular looks lovely, and your 9 of Wands just made me giggle. What's Smitty doing with a load of lolly/popsicle sticks? Random but great. I've linked the bottom 3 in the first post, but I'm having trouble accessing the first one. Can you check it's all linked properly?

K, Somnium's Ace of Coins/Gears is linked now. A little worried that it could just as easily be the 3 of Gears though...
I've got today and tomorrow free, I think I'll work on a card. But which one...hmm...

The Alliterative suggestions were somewhat tongue in cheek. I used them in the poll, because I liked them, but I'm not sure we should label the cards like that. With that In mind, I recommend just making a poll for each suit. You can remove the choices that get the fewest votes, and start a new poll if a majority is reached.
On a different note, I'm gonna go ahead and claim the 5 of gears as the robot HQ.

I've put up the name polls. As Warrl has shown, I utterly forgot to add a "Don't mind/care/Whatever" option, so if you feel that way just vote for Other and post below saying "Why the hell would I care?" or some variant. Thankee.

As far as Smitty goes, I'm not actually sure... I was thinking of when he's got the wooden puzzle ball and then drops it when he's shocked.... somehow him holding a bunch of small sticks and dropping them all came into my head. I went with it as I couldn't see how to incorporate staves/branches/etc into a picture with Smitty.
I was going to draw Parley in the background, tapping him on the shoulder and surprising him or something, as I figured it would be a good reason for him to be looking so frazzled but it threw off the balance of the picture. So I drew in boxbot instead. Even though it doesn't make perfect sense.
Drawn and coloured by hand and then photoshopped.
I know. I started it as an ace, but it just looked too empty so I added two smaller gears....
If someone else wants to do an ace it would be no problem to change the I to III.
...
Also, my cups card is not the three friends from ties. I used the suggestions for the other cards and was originally going to do the 2 of cups... Considering the correlation between hearts and cups I thought the "Parley/Smitty; Surma/Eglamore; Willy/ Janet; etc" theme was a good idea. Then I figured that I could do the third (eliminating Surma/Eglamore/Jones from the running) and leave the other couples who are actually currently together for the second card.

So should we discuss suit names here, or should there be a new thread. Cause the current method of having 4 not quite different general discussions in each thread is confusing.

I think if people want to discuss individual suit names it should be done in the seperate threads, but name discussion in general ought to go here. That way we can go "What are people saying about the Sword suit?" and go to the Sword thread rather than search through this thread searching for a mention of Swords.

The winning suit names are:
Cups Gears Staves Swords
Now you can all go art crazy. Wooooo.

If this is intended to actually be used for anything, standard dimensions are an absolute necessity. If this means people are thinking of printing and selling these cards then I am not okay with that. Just want to bring this to the attention of people involved in this project. I'm not sure what the rules are on just printing them, but selling whatever comes out of this project is a big no-no, basically the biggest. I hope everyone realised/realises that. Now, happy thoughts, and keep on drawing
