How about both, Ducky123? :D

vonboy: nah...but his hair on a LBT character would've been something else. xD

Snik: Thanks...I guess. xxD

DarkWolf: Am I that predictable or do you just have the general ability to predict the future? In any case, I probably have to step up my game next time (although saying I got a Cease & Desist the last time was a pretty big one already since some people actually believed it. :D )

Rhombus: (you ninja, writing a comment as I'm responding to comments)
Well, according to the system I use for my cards, his diet is money and his habitat is wall. Good enough. :D

In general, I gotta say that "Make the valley great again" was an idea I had in the last second of making the card. It just fits this too well, originally I wanted to put a link in this area, either loser.com or trumpdonald.org/. :D

Haha, maybe a bit of both? All I know is that the moment I saw it, it just felt predestined. Written in the stars, perhaps  :lol  :p

If stuff like that is written in the stars, then hoo boy, the stars have a very special kind of humor. :D

Well...April 1st is over (it is at least in my country), so when I say that another card will come this week, it's no joke. :D
Which one? Hmmm...if you read what I wrote recently, you might be able to figure it out. You might also just don't wanna know and be surprised. If you can't get behind it and don't like any surprises: spoiler (shhhh ;) )

The finished thing should be done on sunday. I hope.

So, onward to the new card. This one really took a while and a lot of thoughts went into this and also in the cards that still have to be made. A lot of stuff was finally established, and Malte279 came up with an excellent idea. I won't say what it is, but let me tell you it is just as this guy says.  :)littlefoot
But you all will hear about that soon enough - for now let's welcome Ruby to the finished cards:

[align=center][/align]

Ruby is an omnivore, so she comes with a new symbol: Eggshell combined with treestar (prehistoric Kinder Egg, anyone? :D ).
The egg also appears alongside the treestars in the values space on the card. The actual symbol was one of Malte's ideas as well, what I had it mind for the omnivores was a treestar together with a bone.
I for one think the egg+treestar symbol is the better choice in that matter, so that's going to be the symbol I will use from now on.

What these symbols actually do in the gameplay...well. You'll know soon enough. :D

Also I wanna thank everyone that my april fool's joke was so well received. Next year's going to be quite something as well, I'm pretty sure of that already. :D

Until the next card, and for the standalone image of Ruby, see my art topic as usual. :)

RS

Ssshhh, kinder eggs are illegal contraband in the U.S.  :p
... And I accidentally sent one of my friends back with one once :lol

Ruby looks great! I am quite eager to hear what this 'new idea' is :smile

DarkWolf: Don't worry, Kinder Eggs are legal in the great valley. After all, if it doesn't exist yet, it can't be forbidden. :D

And thanks for all the comments. :)

Now...more stuff! :)littlefoot

The first Full-Art

About that last card: Trying to squeeze that character in a place that's so small, well...I tried, but after a while went for something new for the cards. This might be what I do for the characters that just won't fit into that small space without too many details getting lost. It's also not 100% final yet, I might still make some changes to the appearance. I'm still posting the result I've got so far to see how it is received. :)

So yeah, comments and feedback is always appreciated, and for the standalone pictures you can check my art topic if you want (still have to make that post though)

RS :)

Speechless! Awesome work!

What character will be next?

(only thing: idk why, but for me Sharptooth there looks like he is... confused? Oo Lol, thee sharpteeth's facial emotions.  Maybe because he hasn't dropping spit this time. :p nevermind)

Now this is just brilliant art. Chomper looks really innocent here, showing that he is not a ruthless minded Sharptooth but The friendly Sharptooth we all know. Now Sharptooth looks awesome his facial expression was surprising I expected him to look a lot more menacing but even then it is still an awesome bit of work and the icing on the cake being Littlefoot's mother, she looks wonderful in this albeit a bit big but she's a Longneck for crying out loud she is supposed to be big.

Overall a brilliant piece of work, looking forward to seeing your future art and cards.  ^^spike

Thanks for all the comments, guys, the amount of support this project has gotten so far is amazing. :)

I'm still getting the full art card design down (currently looks like this) but another card was just finished.

[align=center][/align]

Also, this is the workfile for all of the cards I made so far:
Seriously the lag is getting real here. I gotta split things up from now on because my computer would just not be able to handle 28 card designs crammed in one single file. xD

Earlier today I also found the very first design idea I made for this project. Click here if you wanna see that.
This project has really evolved since then. My skills also get better which every single card and I gotta say, that's pretty motivating. I wonder where we'll be when the last card is done.

Next one will probably the first double character card, featuring Littlefoots Grandparents. No idea when it'll be done though.

That's it for now then, comments and feedback is always appreciated, and for the standalone pictures you can check my art topic if you want.

RS :)

YAY!  :lol:

Couldn't really watch the stream due to technical issues on my end (or so I'd assume) but I must say the result is fantastic as always! :wow I'm so happy to see you continue this project, yes I am  ^^spike
