Look at the Candlestick Maker.  Now look at Masterpiece.  See it yet?

We all know about Island/Pirate Ship/Native Village, and of course the Ruins with their un-Ruined counterparts, but can anyone find any other interesting art connections?

[Schneau]

Haha, nice!

I've always wondered about the Masterpiece art -- doesn't it seem like it should feature something more like a statue or a painting? But, that's cool anyway.

Village/Scrying Pool and Village/Pillage.

Holy crap, I never notice that on Scrying Pool!

Also Duchy and Duchess compliment each other.

You mean Duke and Duchess?

[petrie911]

Oddly, the base set art for Duchy doesn't match up well with Duke or Duchess. Where's the river?

I don't quite see it? The Masterpiece has branches, and the candlestick that the Candlestick Maker is working on doesn't. I guess it looks like that guy's style, though.

[werothegreat]

You'll notice the bases are identical - they have the same curves and little red gems.  In CM, the branches are sitting on the table.

So they are! I didn't spot that.

Old thread necro but I just noticed that the urchin is wearing a red bandana around his neck, and if you look closely, he still has it on his arm as a grown-up mercenary. That's pretty cool.

The Mercenary also has the knife that was being used on him when he was an Urchin.

Read that as "a red banana". I didn't even notice I read it wrong on the first time I visited this thread after your post.

Now the Urchin card confuses me. As Urchin is an attack card, it stands to reason that the person of the Urchin should be a person who goes around harming people (like Goons, Militia, Witch, etc). But, based on the art, the Urchin is the person being attacked. Seems backwards.

Because he's the decoy.  He pretends to be the victim to lure someone into assulting him, then his friend comes and robs the person from behind.  That's why two of them means a bigger attacker!

[Polk5440]

Urchin is a wimpy attack. Just because he attacks doesn't mean he wins the fight.

[Eran of Arcadia]

I just assumed he was a street kid who was seen as an easy victim by the bald dude, turned out to be tougher than expected, and grew up into a hardened mercenary because of his childhood.

[Ozle]

There's faulty logic at play here.
Just because the Urchin is the title doesn't mean its the subject of the attack. Just that an Urchin is involved

After all, who doesn't see an Urchin in the street and want to pummel them

[Dsell]

This is decidedly not cute but does Candlestick Maker have weird furry arms?

I always saw the urchin as stealing something from a tough guy who ends up catching him, but then the tough guy sees potential in the urchin and takes him under his wing, showing him the ropes of gang life and everything. Kind of like Oliver Twist. The urchin needs to be "found" by another attacker who can harden the urchin enough to turn him into a mercenary when he grows up.

[Archetype]

I thought the urchin was the bald guy. Like, at first he is lame and just robs kids for their cabbages. But then he uprageds to a mercenary, loses weight, and grows some hair like a real man.

But the little kid being the Urchin makes so much more sense.

[flies]

The bald guy us bald.  The mercenary is not.  QED.
