I just remembered of a little project a friend of mine started when we he was role-playing in my AD&D group. He started drawing the cards for the Deck of many Things (at the time was @TSR, now I think it's @Wizards of the Coast, but I'm not sure) anyway he did just some of them, then we moved and lost contacts. I was wondering if some of you talented artists could be interested in this little challenge.

- The deck is composed by two parts: a basic deck of 13 cards and 9 additional cards. For the challenge you can do only the basic or the full deck.
- You don't really need to be familiar to AD&D game, I just suggest you that being a fantasy game it's better don't put in the illustration something too out of contest (like a car or people in modern clothes).
- It's ok every medium (even if it's not what I originally had in mind, also short stories and poetry will be fine).
- Being a challenge there's no time restiction.
- It's not a contest, so there's no prize. But I will be very happy to fav and comment your entries if you note me the link and to support your art. :-)

This is the list of the basic cards:
1. Sun [link] by :icontroopic:

8. Flames
9. Skull
10. Ruin

15. Gem
16. Talons

It's a magical object of the AD&D game system (a medieval fantasy RPG): a sort of tarot deck... Every time a card is drawn, it triggers a magical effect against or in favour of the person that picked it up. There is no official graphical description of the single cards (at least I never saw one), only the name of the cards, so basically treat it as one of that 100 challenge (only it's 22 :lol:), and have fun with it. I had a look at your gallery and actually some of your works could fit quite well, like the Saint Justice, and I like very much your style, so I'm looking forward for your entries if you'll give it a try. :love:
This is the list of the basic cards:
1. Sun
2. Moon
3. Star
4. Throne
5. Key
6. Knight
7. The Void
8. Flames
9. Skull
10. Ruin
11. Euryale
12. Rogue
13. Jester

and these are the additional ones:
14. Comet
15. Gem
16. Talons
17. Balance
18. Fool
19. Vizier
20. Idiot
21. Fates
22. Donjon
then i will be more then glad!
i will try to start only with the first part (the basic), and if i will have more ideas and time- i'll make the others too.
one thing is a bit troublesome: the Vizier.
i know nothing about it... well we will see..

so basically you say i am the first one to draw them? :o

Most likely someone else draw them (as I said a friend of mine started drawing a humoristical version of the deck for fun and for our personal use during game session) but I don't think there's any official version of the design.
then. i am honored!! :o
i already have some ideas :) ^^
