For four years now, I've had this fixation with the card artwork style behind the Neo-Geo Pocket game "Capcom vs. SNK - Card Fighters Clash." [link] I got the fixation from the sprite edits and recolors of cards people did for avatars in the Bob and George forums. I wound up taking that fixation and infecting the Megazeux community with it when I did (crappy) CFC edits of my own ... and yet, I wound up doing 40--up to the point they had to point it out in their community FAQ! [link]

Since then, I've gotten marginally better at spriting. As an exercise I made cards for my characters, but I tried to make them original--not carbon copy sprite edits or recolors. However, I still have trouble capturing the style of CFC's artists, so in some parts I did occasionally base a character's card sprite off an original card's features--usually eyes, but sometimes hands or face.

Either way, they are mostly originally drawn, and certainly not mere recolors. Also, these cards are presented as their profiles would look if viewed in the real game--so, you get to see what their skills/special abilities are.

In this set, I've featured Evan, Key-Fu, Aragan, and Eagle-One. Evan Roander is a main character of the Ad Ultimum universe [link] (and poster boy for that science fiction universe in general), leader of a paramilitary group called the Celestial Knights. Aragan is mostly known as one of the main characters in Ragnarok Wisdom [link] but he's related to my other project, Shadows in the Light. Key-Fu is the star of my yearly "epic" sprite montage series, The Legend of Key-Fu. [link] Last there's Eagle-One, not related to the Megazeuxer Eagle1--he's from a unnamed project of mine that's a bit cyberpunky in theme.
