Card Design Competition: On the Shoulders of Giants
If these artists loved Elements like we do, they would have made artwork for us.
But we have vrt and friends, so really, WHO NEEDS YOU WARHOL? CASSATT? GO BACK TO PITTSBURGH!!


Your artistic duty: Design a Card (unupped and upped) based off of the artwork of one of the following artists. The Element beside the artist is the element the card must be.


You definitely need to know these:
Jackson Pollock -  :entropy
Mary Cassatt -  :darkness
Pablo Picasso -   :fire
Andy Warhol -  :aether
Georges Seurat -   :life
Alexander Calder -   :gravity
Frida Kahlo -  :light
Claude Monet -  :water
Georgia O'Keefe -  :death
Edvard Munch -  :air
Rene Magritte -  :time
Auguste Rodin -  :earth

Other things not to forget:
  • One person per card per artist
  • The unupped art and upped art can be different, as long as they are by the same artist.
  • The card must be based off of the artwork because you WILL put it inside the card.
  • You can crop the art if you need to (try to preserve the art as a whole as much as you can)
  • Be sure to follow the above list of Artists that must go with a certain element. Abilities can be anything you want.
  • In the notes section, you need to mention which artist and the title of the artwork.
  • This is NOT just limited to paintings. As long as all the art is PG-13.

Please submit your card to the Card Idea Competition Subforum. Just click here.
Name your card's thread:    Unupped | Upped [On the Shoulders of Giants]


Hurry to submit! You have NO TIME LEFT

Question: can resubmits be permitted? Say if you already had a card with no art, but you'd want to use it with what you found for art?

If you've already posted a card anywhere in the CIA or to any other competition, No, you cannot submit it.
We like to support the constant creation of new cards. :)

Is this another way of saying "One submission per person" ?
Think of the last time you were happy...                 Think of the last time you were angry...

How does changing the element on the upped, hybrid quanta, hybrid quanta ability costs, other-element or psueodquanta cards function in regards to this challenge? I'll just assume most of them are banned.

As if it could be implemented into the game yesterday, so no to anything non-standard (hybrid quanta, hybrid quanta ability costs, other-element or psueodquanta cards)
You cannot change the element of the card between the unupped and upped. (but abilities and art can change)

#Philosophy

I have a slight artistic / philosophic problem with the PG-13 rule in this instance.
This is mostly me just making a point for the sake of it, as I understand the thinking behind it.
Art, as in fine art, is by its nature PG-13, because it is artistic, it is a representation of someone's interpretation of the world. As far as I know, none of these artists are photographers, so having pornographic images is unlikely. If the images were painted, however, then it is simply an expression of the honest human experience.

"The Models" 1888 by Georges Seurat would fill this Competition's criteria, yet shows three nude women, one of which you can see her breasts. This is not the point of the painting, nor is it in any way pornographic. The painting is, in my mind, about the varying levels of insecurity of the women, as fully dressed people are able to see them through a large window. An expression of the human experience.

Nobody put black bin bags over the nude paintings on the school trip to the museum.
If children want to snigger at boobies, that is their business, but I would not personally consider censoring art.

As I said, I am being philosophic, I doubt I would want to use a nude painting, but if I were to come across one which I identify with the meaning behind the artwork, it would make me sad not to celebrate it by building a card around it, in order to in some way make a tribute to art which sparked my imagination, regardless of whether there happened to be skin in it :P

#PhilosophyOver

Lovely competition by the way, I am all for celebrating art :D :D

ART:

IDEA:
andretimpa
NOTES:
This explores the card advantage theme of :time by allowing you to effectively have more copies of a card in hand. The idea is that when you play the card affected by Encore, everything happens as usual except that you retain a copy of the card in hand (if the copy is played, then it won't retain another. Think of Encore as kind of becoming a copy of whatever the card you play after it was).

art is Magritte's "La reproduction interdite"

Sorta depressed that there are 12 artists, relatively simple rules, and... 6 submissions.
May there be more voters than submissioners!

Closed, Voting thread up soon.
