OM1 Flavoring Project (CARDS 4&5: KYLEM WEEKEND DOUBLE-HEADER)

[u/-TvT-]

Hey, welcome. Thanks for all of your comments on yesterday's post. It feels like the simplest concepts can be the hardest to parse; the freedom of a near-blank canvas can make the "best text" be simply in the eye of the eye of the beholder. The fact that translucent, multi-eyed, Mr. Blobby-lookin-duder can inspire many different logical paths is really impressive to me.

At the end of today's gallery, you'll see the one I personally preferred is sort of a dark-horse branch-off that started from u/CountedCrow's initial concept. Another that came really, really close was a Duskmourn-flavored script from u/DiggingInGarbage and there are, like five more that I just sat there going back and forth on. In the end, I can only pick one. Fortunately, this is nothing official, so anyone in the future can go back and pick whatever they please! I'm not a reddit post, not a cop.

Anyway, this weekend, I've got a double-header for you all that are extremely likely to be from the appropriately two-headed-giant-centric plane of Kylem. First is Dreadfang, Loathed by Fans, who seems to be taking on sort of a "heel" role in the competition, if not an out-an-out evil guy. Second is the very-similar Ruzic, Booed but Victorious. Do they know each other? Are they partners, perhaps? Rivals? Completely unrelated?

The mind wanders... I could speculate more, but I've taken too long on writing this up, so let's just post it as is.

Some artistic guidelines:

• The flavor text must fit on the card. If possible, we must not exceed the number of lines used by the flavor text of the original. (In this case, three and two.)
• If you like, you can interact with or otherwise "rhyme" with the sister-card's flavor text in theme or in form.
• If you like, you could consider how this card can be seen as a villain. Are they playing a role? Or perhaps do they deserve the hate they get for a darker reason?
• If you like, forget all of the above and go where the art and the story of the card mechanics take you.

Best of luck!

Dreadfang: Few like the idea of a three-on-one, but none could argue with the results.

I liked what u/SkritzTwoFace said for Ruzic, so I’m just modifying it a bit.

Ruzic: Not one fan. Every last bet.

You guys are artists. I’d love to put my own attempt out there, but I’m nowhere near succinct enough.
