Thanks guys!

@Daza99: For "wallpapers", I plan to paint the "events" images (VID), but it will requires many many hours for them, so first I want to finish the cards before switching to "events" images which could be used I think as wallpapers (some of them at least).

@AttuWatcher: Thanks! I agree that battlemap units and terrain graphics are really nice in the base game, and don't require any special "overhaul". But I have some ideas for them also, but if I try to do something, it will be at the very end of this project, so probably not before many many months ^^ . My current planning priority is cards>events>some misc images>heads (heads will be a huge challenge too).

Hop, new paints:

What is the person in the mystic temple one doing? Smashing a rifle?
I picture them more like festivals loving hedonists than proper anti-war activists, but oh well, it's your choice.

I think they are pouring some liquor from a drinking horn into their mouth.

I really like the different shades of shadows between foreground and background in this new batch. [:'(]

I think they are pouring some liquor from a drinking horn into their mouth.

Ooooh, NOW I get it.
The drinking horn and the flowing alcohol could be made more obvious. I thought it was a rifle and the alcohol was just part of the background colours.

To be fair, I must admit the horn somewhat resembles a carbine. It's the flowing liquid that put me on the right track.

Ahah, yes you are right it is a horn, but it is not obvious enough :p I'll fix it so you don't see a rifle hanging there anymore :p

Hop new tests:

That supress unrest artwork is amazing.

Pymous, that work is really emotive (to me, feels like it subordinates the details for the raw emotion). It's evocative for me. Thanks for sharing!

Would you build the UI media around that style too?

Thanks guys, glad you like it.
About UI media: yes if I manage to reach this stage one day :p. I try to focus the work on the cards for now. It's already very time consuming, and unfortunately I don't have as much free time I would like (and need) to speed up the process.

I'm following your progress since the beginning and I really love your cards! Like Malevolence said, really evocative. Keep up the great work and I can't wait to see what you do next! And of course playing with them.

Thank you Daroya

May I humbly suggest that for practical reasons perhaps starting a new dedicated thread for these amazing cards?

These are really nice indeed. You managed to evoke the feel of each card very well.

Thanks!
@Darojax: You are right I should probably start a dedicated thread for this project.
So, last cards on this thread:

Pymous I'm going to add my voice to the many others here and say your work is great. I love the style!

Cards look Amazing! thank you!

@Nachtjager and @TheSosa: Thank you, Like suggested by some, I just created a topic for this project so this thread could stay a "general art" thread (sorry I spammed it)

Just wanted to share one MS Paint doodle out of many that I made. Highly applicable in the early game, I imagine:
