Mock FMP - Final Idea



Final Mock FMP Idea- Knightingale Chronicles: Trading Cards

For my mock FMP, I plan to make a set of trading cards, consisting of Fantasy-themed characters and being similar to popular card games such as Top Trumps, Magic the Gathering and Yu-Gi-Oh.
For the project, I’ll be researching the layout and format of existing trading card games and also researching into the various fantasy themes that I intend to portray, such as mythological and fictional creatures, portrayal of said creatures in existing media such as video games, films and other card games.

For each character and item, I intend to do a full-colour digital image for each.
I will then make the card layout, which will show the art of the character, a small backstory and the stats of the character along with an image for the back of the card. (Still contemplating what to do on the back, it might just be a logo.)

By the end of the mock FMP, I hope to have at least six hero characters, three villain characters and a few traps and items made as actual cards, printed out and cut into actual cards.
If I can achieve this, I’ll expand this project into my proper FMP and make more character and item art, the cards for these arts, the packaging for said cards and when it comes to showing my FMP at the exhibition, I’m going to leave a stack of cards for people to take a card for themselves as a sort of freebie thing.
