Help with Sonic themed playing cards

Post by sonicfanRICH »

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to design some Sonic playing cards like the ones used in casinos, not trading card games. I need help trying to decide what characters to use. I want to make Sonic the King and Amy the Queen. Though I'm not sure if I want Amy to be on all the Queen cards. I might want to use some of the other top female characters. And for the Jack, I was thinking about using Tails, Knuckles, Shadow, and Silver. Eggman will obviously be the Joker. And I want Super Sonic to be the Ace, but I only found one good piece of solid artwork. So I don't know what else I would use for the Ace. I only wish to use good 2D artwork and no 3D ones.

Any ideas or help would be appreciated as this is for a class project. I might even be able to print them out like real cards when they're done.

Use some of the Super Sonics from Sonic the Comic. There's scans of it online.

Also, you could use other characters not in the games, like Sally or Bunnie. Or Shortfuse the Cybernik. \\m//

Oh I want to use only official game characters that are mostly well known in the Sonic universe. And the artwork needs to be clean and easy to use. I mainly want to use the Sonic Adventure style.

Well, here are some links. Click on a link to get SA1/SA2-style art for the characters in that game.

Sonic Adventure art
Sonic Adventure 2 art
Sonic Advance art
Sonic Advance 2 art
Sonic Advance 3 art
Sonic Rush Adventure art
Sonic Chronicles art

And some extra 2D art that didn't come with a game:
Sonic
Sonic
Tails
Knuckles
Shadow
Silver
Super Sonic

They all have transparent backgrounds (except for the Chronicles art) for easy use in Photoshop or GIMP.

^ Thanks, I did have some of these already. But I assume there is no other good Super Sonic art. I was thinking of using other characters like Super Shadow or Metal Sonic perhaps. The best of the best characters I suppose.

No problem. I hope your deck turns out good. Be sure to post it when it's done.

I'm currently working on a Sonic-themed project as well. Sonic monopoly. If you can find me a good screenshot of Radical Highway I'd be really happy.

^ Oh cool, yay. That should be pretty interesting. Since you helped me, I shall try to help you. I did a search on google images with these terms "sonic fan game radical highway" and the few top results look good I think.

One thing, what if you would use a character for each Type of card. I mean for excample Sonic for the King of Hearts, Shadow for the king of spades, Silver for king of... . get what I am saying? So this way, you could use more characters. the aces for each would be super sonic, super shadow, super silver, etc... the Jokers would be Eggman, eggman nega, etc...
Queen might be Amy, Blaze, Rouge, etc...
