Do you use art for the prototypes of your new cards like you did back in the day? If so would you ever consider posting them?
I still use google'd art, yes. For most cards in most games, although sometimes a particular kind of card doesn't get art for some reason, and in an early test of a game I may leave the art blank in case the game ends up changed a lot right away, or abandoned.
I don't really like posting the art as it's not mine. Technically someone could complain about me posting their copyrighted image. I went for it and posted the outtakes article anyway but I'm not looking to do more of that.
As wero notes most of the art was used on isotropic. A few prototype cards had the actual art (e.g. Goons was made to have something for that art) and so isotropic doesn't have that.
I am looking through Adventures and Empires for anything recognizable.
- Miser shows Scrooge McDuck.
- Transmogrify shows Calvin getting under the box.
- Groundskeeper is Hagrid.
- Labyrinth is from the movie.
A few cards must show up in the outtakes article as different cards:
- Dungeon, Artificer, Swamp Hag, Treasure Trove, Royal Blacksmith (the Old Blacksmith mouse), Farmers' Market, Engineer, Forum, Settlers.
