Singularity Deck Fantasy Suits: Metal WIP
🕑 Added 2023-05-17 19:00:03 +0000 UTCHi all,
I'm back to show off the current state of the metal suit and get any feedback and ideas you all may have.
Metal suit icon:
Twelve:
The general idea is for the gear to be interlocking with other gears. The current version isn't great, but should give you an idea of where it's going:
13-24 Metal suit mod:
Court cards: For the court cards I need some help coming up with good items for them to be holding. They are each wearing some form of armor, however I'm not sure what items to give them. Obvious "metal-focused" items are swords, spears, etc., but that doesn't make them stand out much from some of the current items held by court cards in the Earth and Cosmos sets. Let me know if you have any ideas for what the metal court cards should hold. Can anyone thing of an animal or creature that is often associated with metal?
Jack:
Queen:
King:
Tower:
For the tower card, I've been debating a few options. I'm leaning towards a bell tower, since it's basically a large tower meant to hold a large metal bell. If you have other ideas though, I'd love to hear them.
Omega:
I'm at a bit of a lose for what the omega card should depict. If you have any ideas, let me know.
Comments
Good idea on rotating the gear icon. I'll give it a go and see how it looks. Agree on the suit color. For the time being all of the colors are placeholders and I do want them to be distinct from all of the other suits.
Other ideas I had are turning the gear icon by 22.5° (half of 1/8 turn) to make them fit together slightly better on the number cards, also maybe the grey color of the suit could be very slightly blue-ish to differentiate it from the triangles suit
I dig this.
I like the radio tower idea! Visually it shares a lot of similarities with Jule's idea of an electrical pylon. I'll give both a try and see what works best.
Good idea! Blacksmith tongs have pretty distinctive silhouette too which should work well.
I like this and it's not something that had even crossed my mind. I'm thinking like a strip mine excavator could look cool.
For the omega card, something like “mining the Earth for elements” could work
For the tower, I could suggest something like an electrical pylon (I'm thinking about the Delta design because there's some big ones near where I live https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Delta_pylons) conducting electricity is one of the key properties of metal and also it's basically the only thing they're made of)?
A couple ideas for the figure cards would be one of them holding blacksmithing tongs, and another a large magnet?
Radio tower or lighthouse for tower are the only other towers I can think of. Water tower, but this is MeTaL(!) :) Medieval towers were generally stone and/or wood. Maybe with a smithy at the bottom?
I think a anvil with a hammer would be good for the Omega card.

Not any specific theme, but "blacksmith tongs" (and smithing in general" came to mind for a tool related to metal!
