New Project: Spireus
5 years ago
Hello darlings,
I hope everyone is doing well with all that has been going on this year.
In the midst of a lot of things happening I sort of accidentally started a project.
Back in the way back days of middle school my friends and I made our own card decks since most of us did not have Yugioh cards. Well, I recently found my old deck! Every time this thing surfaces in my life I like to flip through some of the cards and just have a little giggle at some of my amateur design choices (one of the characters is literally just a pink Ryo Ohki with a ribbon, and there is a ton of silver haired characters). However, this time I sat down and hastily doodled a redesign of one of the cards and... well I was hooked.
It was very satisfying, even if it was a bit haphazard and messy. I ended moving on to redraw another card and it's taken off from there. I have several sketches laid out for various cards- most of the drawings will be about 2"x3". I don't know if I really want to redesign the WHOLE deck, but I will probably keep this up for a while. There are some that were just copied from other media that I will probably completely redesign or just leave out, idk at the moment. Some of these are so "generic middle school weeb" characters that I will probably change them up a lot- especially since at least five of these characters look like they could just be swapped with each other XD.... I'm gonna rag of baby me, it's all in good fun though.
Currently drawing these in a small sketchbook that I can carry with me to work, but I've been considering drawing some of these on the art cards I have prepped. I still don't have much daylight to devote to coloring, so they will likely be just inks.
It never had a name before (at least I don't remember one) so I am simply calling it Spireus.
I'm currently posting what I finish on my instagram (@thesixrabbits) but will probably scan in better quality images to post here in clumps.
I am still working through my current commission queue (keep an eye out for a TON of stuff coming in October!) and those will take priority of Spireus
Thoughts? Comments?

Can't wait to see what you come up with for these.
Spireus will be strictly based on the original cards, I'm not adding any new ones- there's already at least 100 cards if I don't wuss out and drop a bunch of the less exciting ones.
