"The Magician's Book" is the quick card game for two players, both starting with an identical deck of cards - each card represents a page from the magic book with a spell and a counterspell. Then Masters of Magician's Book are taking turns commanding the forces of Nature to try to defeat their opponent in that fierce battle of wits and luck.
For illustration FEELINDIGO invited Angie Siveria, because of her distinctive visual style.
When we got our first illustrations from Angie, quick concept art presentation was made by me:
Then, I made a detailed description (about dimensions and preferable file formats) and a template for Angie to work with:
The template was designed specifically to be easy to print out in 1:1 scale for the artist to feel the real size of the future cards and its elements.
The beautiful illustration of the book cover was made by Angie (it was also used as jackets), and I made the jewels and clasps for the box. It was an interesting task to make the box resemble the actual book, especially after the decision to make the box square to match the series was made.
Here are some examples of original illustrations by Angie Siveria (craft paper, ballpoint pen, white charcoal, Adobe Photoshop for coloring)
