I would also love to do some art. or redo some of the cards.
I'd like to see you do some more program art.
"AI-Search Algorithm" is pretty cool. Haven't seen any others by you. Are there any more?
My take on the art is that it would be nice if Factions and Card Types had more closely knit art schemes.
Roderique Roberts style does nothing for me when used for Physical Objects, like assets and gear.
But it works well for Programs, the flowing "oil on water" colors and very liquid look has a very Cyberspace/security cam feel to it. For programs with less tangible outcomes, such as Purely Financial hacks and AIs, I like the completely non representational art like what "Slurpy" used in "AI-Search" and "Invertix" used in "Glasnost 1.0"
I think that art for The UN, FUS and Corporate factions work much better when it's hard edged and realistic. Especially when it comes to their bases and equipment. The UN and FUS are both highly Military oriented groups, so their Equipment and People should be very uniform and Down to earth.
Corporate Buildings are almost always very Solid and Stable, and they have their share of Cookie Cutter assets, but with a few more Individualistic People at the top.
I like Muddy Watercolors for Covert People, it gives them a less Detailed look. So I like "Ortho", even though it's not as hard edged as a lot of my favorite Corporate Art, because it catches his Covert nature so well.
Watercolors and Sketchy looking stuff works well for Monastery and NoNames people and equipment. Monastery people have fluid genetics and lots of their equipment is cutting edge nano. NoNames people are very individualistic, and their equipment is often makeshift. So the details in the art for these factions should blur a bit, and be less average looking.
These are just some observations about how I perceive the function of the art in CX.
Any mention of specific Artists and Art pieces is not meant as Criticism of the Artists or pieces. Instead it is my opinion as to how their styles and pieces fit with certain card types in CX.
I believe that all of the Artists who have contributed to CX are First Rate.
I may not always be happy with how certain pieces fit with the card they are on,
or how they fit in CX as a whole.
But I must give them credit for the time and effort they put in as Artists.
