I’ve decided to work on a series of semi-canon trading cards. My story did used have an in-universe trading card system at one point and this isn’t it.

I might not even include the old system because it involved up to date collector cards with stats being generated at the beginning of any given regulated fight and I’m not in the place to be giving out numbers especially as I don’t have a balanced power scaling system.

This is more an exercise in actually drawing the characters for practice.

Before is start posting I want to clarify a few things

-I’m an inexperienced writer and artist.

-currently none of my characters values reflect my values.

-while my plot involves mature subject matter I do not at this time intend to include full nudity (described or illustrated) but please do not mistake that for the story being appropriate for all ages.

-I have do not currently plan on writing for a certain genre or demographic, I’m currently not actively trying to follow or subvert certain tropes most of the time. Because I am a human I will likely do that regardless of intention.

-some misspellings, poor grammatical choices, inaccuracies, anachronisms, plot holes and time line conflictions are intentional choices because that’s the sort of things that amuse me and some are because I’m dyslexic and have the sort of brain that can come up with an elaborately detailed plan with interlocking parts in a short period of time, write almost none of it down then forget half of it and loose track the little documentation I do have.

-I’m not trying to misrepresent real world concepts but I probably will. My story is a science fantasy I’ve been working on for most of my life so while I’ve cut stuff out once I learned of similarities to existing loaded tropes, events, people, etc, I have some stuff which may seem like it’s trying to represent something real but isn’t and it’s too ingrained in the story to remove. I’m not trying to inaccurately portray real concepts but if you connect something to a real concept and it doesn’t ring true I hope you understand that wasn’t my intention.

-Odds are I will make mistakes and I’d appreciate if anyone has an issue with something I create they don’t assume malice on my part and actually tell me what they believe the issue is bluntly as I struggle to understand subtle social cues and don’t be to mad if I don’t respond as I will usually think it over it privately but am not currently in a phase of my life where I can regularly write long researched and thought out responses to strangers anymore.
