Another art challenge by , , and !

For each challenge we interchangeably give ourselves an idea or topic to illustrate and a short, specified time to execute it in whatever shape or form... of course, without knowing what the others are going to come up with.

This week's topic is maudt's idea: Deck of Cards- The Queen. A different Queen for everybody, there's plenty to go around and conveniently there's 4 of us.

===I got the Queen of Spades! Funny thing, we had no problem distributing the colours, seems everyone knew instantly which one who prefersI love both drawing and graphic design, so mixing the two was fun. I began with designing new playing card suits and colour sets for all, as I wanted this project to be completely original. Started in pencil (both the suits and the girl), finished in Illustrator, Photoshop and Sai (for lineart only, best tool there is, imo). I'm still not sure whether I'll leave most of it in flat colours or will add some cell-shading here and there.. We'll see.I hope to turn it into whole series someday, designing a whole deck of cards was always something I wanted to do, so you can imagine I was really happy when I learned the topic of this challenge.It's still a bit of a work in progress actually. I had no time to finish all the details how I imagined it, so it's a mock-up in many places. And, because of it, I also re-used some bits from my Flower Power piece (another one for the challenge, actually), as I totally had no time to paint new ones, and wanted to set the whole layout first.===Others!'s version:'s version:'s version:===
