ooh an online version would be cool, so people can play others all over the world.
I have a special request for you when you have time, so there's no rush. I'm looking for an awesome 1920 x 1080 wallpaper for my brand new Toshiba Qosmio that I received Friday. It was downgraded to Windows 7 for various purposes.
A real nice scorpion wallpaper that kind of has the same feel as my profile pic (I think it's still there. I'll look.), not to be confused with my avatar.
It's not there, but I did rediscover this.
Pity the Fool, I will!
I'll look on Google real quick.
FOUND IT!!
Something similar to that in your art style would be kick ass for a wall paper. If you think of something even better, please don't hesitate to share.

MTG player! I'm interested on how you're game will turn out.
Truth is, I never played MTG. I stopped doing the trading card thing after the original 151 Pokemon cards. However, I somehow got my hands on a bunch of cards over the years and used to look at the art for inspiration.
I bought my first MTG card pack the other day. It was pretty exciting, and I got several intriguing cards, although the rest weren't as appealing to me. A handful of friends plan on coming over soon to teach me and have a night of playing MTG. Should be fun!
I can't give out any real details yet, but we do have the majority of it established. We are now working on the small details that won't impact the mechanics of the game, such as which colored dice to use and what glass pebbles to choose.
We are not messing around; this game is going to be incredible.
Since I have about a hundred card graphics to make, I have convinced several artist friends to help me produce some sick, unique, morbid graphics. For every one card you see here, there is at least another one already finished. Once my friends start churning out their graphics, that number will jump.
Tonight's is one I made this morning, in which the graphic took me around 2 1/2 hours to create due to tedious tweaking and redoing. This one is a utility card that allows Bloodmage class players to regain 5 Blood Orbs, a major boon to have when low on life because of being attacked or playing too many Blood Magic cards.
Tonight's is a new kind of card, this time a Revenant class card. I also redid the backgrounds for all the cards in the same style as this one (but different colors and minor variations per card type). The Revenant specializes in cursing players/summons, taking over summons, stealing cards, and being an overall jerk.
I will try to start doing more traditional illustrations. I've just been putting a lot of time into making cards recently and have been scolded by my girlfriend for it!
I have gained the help of several artist friends to create the 100+ cards. One friend came up with the idea for this latest card and I spent a couple hours turning it into digital art:
I think there should be an online version as well. There could be special cards available only for online and special cards available only for real world gameplay.

Nice, mbease.
Can we know more about this game, or is it still a big secret?
I can spill a little bit of information. Here is our current "gist summary" in our game design document:
"A board game influenced by games such as RISK, Magic: The Gathering, and Diablo. In this game, players will summon armies of Minions and Demons, use spells and special powers via drawn cards, and strategically manage hit points and mana resources. Players select one of three distinct classes at the beginning of each game, each specializing in different playstyles and receiving different card deck combinations to wreak havoc on others. Players will struggle to maintain control over the board in different ways, striving to destroy enemy players, their summons, and their means for resurrecting, leaving only one evil ruler to take over the world."
This summary is very conservative, but I hope it will tie you over for now. The game has many rich, unique details and mechanics that make the game complicated, yet is simple enough that nearly anyone with experience playing basic board games will find the game easy to play. One team member likes to point out, "Not complicated, but complex."
I think there should be an online version as well. There could be special cards available only for online and special cards available only for real world gameplay.
I find a lot of value in thinking far into the future, while one of us likes to bring the others (cough ME cough) back to the present when discussing possibilities. We're going to focus on the close future, but this game is a good one that seems like it could easily turn into a great online game. Only time will tell.
During our last meeting, my team and I ironed out some leftover details, as well as some technical, most important ones, and we have chosen an official name for the board game (instead of calling it "UNTITLED BOARD GAME"). We are not dead set, though, so I cannot say yet.
And now for something entirely different: Waffles!

"Hey, I thought you'd like the witty irony of grub-on-glowie violence!"
Darn it, I was so certain about that. Time to put my thinking cap on

Aww yeah.
You got it. If I don't reveal another card tomorrow, I'll draw up a wallpaper for you (and anyone else who wants it). Otherwise, soon!

Starts and ends with "D."
Here's another revenant card graphic. I may lighten it, but it, being hard to see, looks excellent within its card frame.
Dead? Dread? Drifted? Diablo's Legions of Undead?
...Dud?
Death Magicka: Warriors of Blood?
I like that last one, but nope.
The name has two syllables, but I won't say how many words.
Let's make it interesting: First person to guess the name it wins an absolutely free illustration of his or her choosing.
For now, here's a bird:

Dark Deed? (Maka beat me to it if it's the answer.)
Dark Turd?
Death's Card?
Dead Bird?
Duly Read?
Destroyed?
Deviled?
Drained Blood?
I'll come up with more later, Blacklight is calling me.
