Overview
Jackpot is the zombie survival card game that has big cash prizes, big weapons and most of all big zombies! that was funded with the help of kickstarter.
It throws up to four players battling either together or against each other in a table top card game influenced by American game shows with a flavour of redneck. A slick combination of survival and inventory management gameplay with a constant mix of changing goals, inventory shops and enemies in each round.
Jackpot was developed by "Joyride Games" Dundee

Detailed Info
On Jackpot I was given the opportunity to design a mascot for the event cards in the game. The event cards were to inject flavour of objectives that players had to follow in order to win prizes. My job was to come up with a design that would help give the event cards a unique but important role in the game. The style had to be comedic and cartoony to contrast to the main style of the game. I designed and posed the mascot within each event card to help players understand the rules of the event. I was to also come up with an event card that involved changing one of the enemies from the main style of the game to the cartoony style for the special even cards.
The process would consist of planning the drawing according to each card, making a line art of the drawing, colouring and adding details to the final image.
