RATIONALE BEHIND IMAGES
The above 'dread' card of the warmonger skills was originally a whip, I have replaced that with an image of a crucifixion scaffold and nails to capture the idea of the fear that enemies and deserters and so on must have had facing these guys.
'Despoil' is another very changed from the original which showed a chest of what I assumed was treasure. I have instead used an image of someone in chains keeping with the spirit of despoiling where the victorious force would enslave their defeated adversaries.
Each of these images, while directly inspired by the vanilla cards, are utterly my own creations. I drew them using serif x4 and photoshop mainly as well as fireworks for some symmetry art.

Re: First batch of new skill cards here.
very impressive i must say.....all good things take time. Will you be sharing by segments or when fully completed.Originally Posted by kanecaston
Here are all nine of the warmonger skill cards redone.
Next up are the strategist then commander skill cards.
I will be doing all of the skill cards, then the character background cards, then army and naval traditions cards.
Warmonger cards will be on a red background card, strategist cards on a blue background card, and so on, for easy identification of the relevant traits when leveling up your generals.

Re: First batch of new skill cards here.
from what i can see you're doing great....no reason to sway from vanilla too much since i didn't mind them either.good luck with the project.

Re: First batch of new skill cards here.
Missed that.Will you be sharing by segments or when fully completed.
I intend to share my progress in segments here in these forums so that others can have some input and while I will be doing all of the work, especially the artistic work, I do not mind others pointing out ways I could do a thing better or some criticism of art direction or anything else.
If you meant share my progress in the form of a beta, I don't know. I intend to release the first beta once all skills images are complete and compiled into a mod. However if anyone requests an early beta, more of an alpha, with the images I've completed combined with the vanilla images I haven't replaced, I can supply that demand, if it exists.
Just ask.
That wouldn't be a problem, for me, though how it would look combining the new images with the vanilla images I cannot say.

Re: First batch of new skill cards here.
Have completed second batch of skill cards, the strategos cards. Having already completed the warmonger cards this leaves only the nine commander cards until I can release as a beta mod.

Please leave criticism as I need to refine images before finalizing into packfile.

Re: New Skill Cards batch 1 and 2
These look lovely, and the Illuminati reference there on "Covert Actions" I like that. My suggestion is with the dread card, possibly have the crucifix on a hill, or just give it some sort of base and I feel like it would look a lot better.
I have a bit of a strange request. I really like the Illuminati one, and my name here is IlluminatiRex. My question is, could I possibly use that one as an Avatar here? I feel like it would fit pretty well, and I've been looking for a new avatar for ages.

Re: New Skill Cards batch 1 and 2
Of course you can use the image.
I knew something was missing from the dread card. I couldn't think of what to add. Thanks for suggesting the hill. I will test it out before finalizing the beta mod.

Thank you for letting me use the image, and I can't wait for the full release of this. These all look really good.

Re: New Skill Cards batch 1 and 2
Great job. I like the style. I also like they all in one style. Often the people use for such cards different style (one is a photo, another a cartoon and another a graphic), but I don't like it. Your style is very nice. It do not bring any unrest into the CA style.
Good job.

Re: New Skill Cards batch 1 and 2
Thank you. I have tried to stay true to the originals by CA, but did not want to just recolor their images like I was originally considering. This has been a lot of work but I like drawing.
However they are not really finished, I had only just begun testing when the above commenter requested a download so bear in mind that these images are a very early beta not finished creation.
Okay enjoy.

Re: new skills images BETA 1.0 available NOW
Subscribed on the workshop, these will look great in game! One of the reasons I don't like a lot of the current mods that change the cards and such is that they stray too far away from the stylization that CA was aiming for. I like Bullgod's icons because they are still 2D and give plenty of info what the unit is about, while still be stylized to an extent. These will fit wonderfully in with the base game, much more so than some pictures taken off of google imo

Re: new skills images BETA 1.0 available NOW
Alright, after having played with them for a few days I have another suggestion. I notice the drawings have 'jaggies' on them on such a small scale, what picture format are you saving them as? if it's .jpg/.jpeg i would use .png so you avoid that issue as much as possible.

Re: new skills images BETA 1.0 available NOW
Yes its a problem. Some of its caused by me saving my images in a higher definition and the game engine downscaling not performing correctly, (I have fixed this by exporting in 50x80 for the next update) but unfortunately some of the problem is just caused by having to small of a slot to fit each card into at 50x80 and I have been spending some time looking at whether this slot could be made bigger, else the images will never be really high quality though I can still make them look decent.
