Artist Trading Cards

Some of us are playing around creating hand-made Artist Trading Cards and swapping them via the mail.

ATCs are hand drawn or painted cards using markers, pencil, chalk, ink etc, on standard playing card sized pieces of paper (or other materials sufficiently flat enough to fit into a card-sleeve).

Technical details:
Finished size is: 2.5" x 3.5" (64 mm × 89 mm) — this is the size of a standard playing card.

This thread is for showing off the cards created for this exchange.

Rules for this thread:

The recipient should be the first one to see each card.

Please post an image of the card only after the recipient has confirmed they have seen it.

Senders, recipients, or both are encouraged to post pix of the cards.

This is the card I sent to DogBL in round 1:

 

 

2.5 x 3.5 inches. Permanent marker on blank playing card. 

 

I am new at this. This is the seventh ATC I have attempted. Inarah has two out of the first six. The cardstock I am using is Bicycle brand, blue back, blank playing cards.

Inarah is the one who sponsored and started this...your inquiry has been forwarded along.

I am all about this. I like the monolith...you have a very nice art style, and I wouldn't mind being a part of this exchange just for more of your work, TGP.

I can't draw worth anything, but I'm more than happy to watch.

This is the card I received from Morihalda.  It is made with layers of paper and colored pencil. 

 

"Ocean Sylvari"

 

 

 

And here I have photographed it from the side so you can see that it is dimensional....

 

 

 

 

I will be running round 2 in March and April.  If you are interested in sharing small scale original art, PM me and I will include you when the next notification goes out.

The monolith is great! The current campaign I am DMing has a number of monoliths...as soon as the players follow that hook...So, technically the campaign does not have any monoliths, but theroretically there is like four that TGP's ATC is perfect for.
