Ten Clubs — Description
My part of 's project, the Deck of Cards collaboration. Some 54 artists came together, each to illustrate a single character who represents one card in the traditional deck of 52. If you had a number card, you also needed to incorporate that same number of symbols which represent your particular suit; the 10 of Clubs thus has, incorporated throughout the design, 10 symbols of the "club".

It's not hard to find 'em all, but I took a little liberty with the "clubs". Feel free to ask if you get hung up on it.

This image was inked completely in Manga Studio EX, using a small, rough thumbnail as the only guide. Check my Scraps for a WIP version of this that includes the original thumbnail if you want to check that out. The final is approximately 5x7 at 600dpi, Greyscale (Manga Studio's native settings), with some minor adjustments and formatting done in Photoshop... totaly time, 'bout maybe 6 hours.

Check out the rest of the artists participating at the link above, there's some really skilled people involved in this project.

-EDIT-

fixed the image for full-view... sorry 'bout that, forgot to take it out of CMYK.
