Developing Interest

So, with some small measure of work, I have managed to more or less get myself back to where I left after before my flash drive crash; and I even managed a little progress.

The hex tile number tokens, card backs, building cost card face, and resource cards faces are all rebuilt and waiting till I'm ready to print the cards.

The one and only element I did not rebuild was the soldier's face that I had started on. The reason I have not rebuilt the soldier's face is that it was far more detailed than necessary for the size the soldiers will end up on the cards; so I saw little point in going through all that work again for something that would not be very visible in the final product.

Instead, I chose to forge ahead with preparing the card faces for the development cards. All the development card faces, including the text, but excluding their illustrations, are done. I need only add their illustrations, and they'll be ready for printing. I've included the largest army and longest road cards among this development card set for purposes of getting them drawn up.

So now, what I expect to be the most difficult, longest, and most arduous task of all the card graphics work is now ahead of me; that being the illustrations for the development cards.

As I did before, I will likely begin with soliders. I've got at least three different soldiers I want to draw up; possibly a fourth, in fact. Is it more than necessary? Yes. But doing so will enrich the final product in the end, I think; so why not?
