Jim of Hearts, Jim of Diamonds & the King of Crime.


It's finally finished, after I started it over a year ago! Good to look back and see that I had known what a piece of work this would be before I had even started. Or maybe I had started, only didn't have an idea what to use as the symbol for the King card?
Ha, this project of doom is what had reminded me of Solitaire's existence, and as research I looked the cards (which is how this project got its name). Then I used the game for procrastination, which led to the discovery of my current favorite procrastination game: Spider Solitaire. I hadn't discovered that before, because I have a spider phobia - how was I suposed to know that there aren't any spiders?!

Aaaanyway, the project of doom with the tracing from hell: Sadly I reeeeeally can't draw, so I had to trace Jim from screencaps. And this is why it took forfuckingever. Progress had been slow, because working on it was so exhausting, my exhaustion led to not touching the file for weeks. Then (When I had been finished with the tracing for 2 of 3 cards!) my external hard drive went comatose and the file was lost! 3 months later, playing cards with my family made me want to start the project again. And then I manage to finish the whole thing in 2 weeks (which coincidentally had been the estimate I had made on day 1 of the restart) - what?!
If you want, you can buy it on a T-shirt and/or iPhone/iPod case.
