Singularity Deck Fantasy Suits: Water
🕑 Added 2023-04-16 20:59:01 +0000 UTCMy goal when designing the Singularity Deck Fantasy Suits is for there to be a lot of back and forth and to try to get as many patron ideas into the deck as possible.
To kick things off, I want to collect ideas for the water suit. This one is by far the most developed already, but that doesn't mean things can't change if folks have better ideas. The colors of everything are also a bit up in the air, and wont be finalized until much later.
The suit icon:
I showed off all of the rough draft icons previously (https://www.patreon.com/posts/singularity-deck-80897890), but that doesn't mean they won't be tweaked or changed if better ideas come along. The icon for the water suit is a raindrop.
The suit mod icon:
The alignment on these are a bit off, but otherwise the icon works well enough.
The Singularity Card:
The plan is for the Singularity Cards to be pretty much the same as all of the other suits.
The Alpha Card:
For the alpha and omega cards, I wanted the general formatting of the cards to be consistent with the other suits. This means the intention is the keep the same earth alpha card with the omega card being the earth being destroyed by the thing the suit represents. Since the full rotation of the earth is already covered with the earth and cosmos suits, my idea for the earth being depicted in the fantasy suits is to show pangea proxima . This is one model of many possible versions of the earth that could exist in the future: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pangaea_Proxima
The omega card:
The omega card depicts a great wave and as such I modeled it on the greatest wave: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Wave_off_Kanagawa
There are still a ton of refinements that would need to be made. I think it's actually probably a bit to detailed so I would want to simplify it some more. Overall though, I think it's going in a good direction.
The Twelve Card:
I don't have much yet for the twelve card, but I'm thinking a rain drop with a splash under it. Not super creative, but I think it would work well.
The Jack Card:
I'm going for a bit of a pirate/sailor vibe with the jack and queen. The jack is wearing a bandana and holding a cutlass.
The Queen Card:
I like the general vibe this card is going in. Obviously, the parrot needs a bit of work.
The King Card:
I really like how this card is shaping up. It's supposed to give off a Poseidon look and as such holds a trident.
The Tower Card:
Not much here yet, but hear me out...I thinking the tower card for the water suit should depict a water tower! "How does he come up with such clever ideas?!?"
Despite this being the most obvious concept, I'm of course open to other ideas.
I think the classic WB-looking water tower may look a bit too out of place:
I'm partial to the volunteer park water tower in Seattle:
The Mannheim Water Tower also looks pretty cool as reference:
I would love to hear your thoughts and ideas!
Comments
Good idea. I'll do some research. Any on the top of your mind that you like?

In regards to the water towers, you could try looking at historical water towers in Western Europe! They tend to implement design that's more "tower"-y than industrial American water towers!
