Cards development



After deciding that 3D cards were out of the picture for me, I decided to focus more on normal Christmas cards. At first, I looked into adding my environments onto the cards as the art, but decided against it as it felt like a repeat. Instead, I looked towards my character designs again. Looking to my sticker designs specifically, I took inspiration and, along with reference photos, designed the two designs to the right. I didn't want to overcomplicate the card designs, so am really happy with the designs. 

I then move forward with them by redesigning them digitally, and adding more line details in. 
After redesigning these digitally, and inking them in, I had to decide how I was going to make them. I made the decision to hand paint them on nice but cheaper paper as to save my money from printing. 

Using acrylic paints and fine liners, I redrew the design onto these hand made cards and am really happy with how they all came out. Each card feels very similar to the others which is all I could ask for.

I made sure to add my logo and instagram account onto the back, as to mark the cards as made by myself.

Overall, I'm really happy with the outcome of these cards. I think they're very cute and unique. I would develop these further by printing them digitally and by making some envelopes to go with them.

While I was aware this could partly be because of my choice of paper, I played around with the printer settings on both the printer and photoshop, as to understand the problem and fix it. However, looking at a few of the different/dull prints,      I ended up really liking some of them. The grey scale change between the prints below, for example, were beautiful and created an interestingly different atmosphere to the environment. Some of these dull prints I decided to keep and still sell, particularly after a few peers made compliments on their appearance. I decided to keep 4 in total, two of each roping design that match and are 'l...
