Contest Brief

Hi,
My name is Chris and I am an entrepreneur from Germany. I am looking for an artist who can draw me an entire custom made playing card deck for a new kickstarter campaign. But lets start small. The entire reason for this contest is to find an artist who fits best to my deck vision. So I only want 1 card in this relatively small contest/project. I will offer everyone who hands in a fitting card a much bigger project for my entire deck of custom made playing cards. So there are around 50 to 60 of those cards/pictures planned with a larger budget. And there are plans for more than one deck so I could also do with more than one artist in the future.

Now lets get started…
I want to create a card that is rich in details, realistic style with an aging effect since the whole deck theme is historical. As an good example of what I am looking for in details and quality and also in style you can refer to this project: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/320402544/leonardo-art-playing-cards (the “queen of clubs” or the “king of hearts” are good examples of what I am looking for)
Your task is to create a card in the style above about Galileo Galilei. I like this picture of him: http://www.akg-images.de/archive/-2UMDHUS9EWN4.html
Next to his figure I also need a drawing of his telescope like one of these:
https://www.google.de/search?q=galileo+galilei+gem%C3%A4lde&client=firefox-b-ab&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiJjZL-nZXSAhWBXBQKHY65CVIQ_AUICCgB&biw=1366&bih=633#tbm=isch&q=galileo+galilei+telescope
And as a background or somehwere on the card I also need our solar system or at least the part with Venus in it: https://www.google.de/search?q=galileo+galilei+gem%C3%A4lde&client=firefox-b-ab&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiJjZL-nZXSAhWBXBQKHY65CVIQ_AUICCgB&biw=1366&bih=633#tbm=isch&q=galileo+galilei+telescope
In general, feel free to use any picture you want from these 3 objects as a template as long as they are close to the historical real stuff. In the end the total card matters, not 1 object.
Since all the suites later are paid as an extra card and simply put in all cards you can skip these here. Just add a standard suite (hearts or whatever).

Please let me know if you have any questions about the project. Also you can send me sketches and I will give you feedback before you start drawing if you like. I will check this contest every day for posts.

Some legal stuff: All pictures you draw must be made by you and when I make you the contest winner I gain all commercial rights for that picture and you are not allowed to use this picture other than in your portfolio for showing off your great work.

Thanks all for participating in this contest!
Chris

Hello Chris, Im Fernando, i send you my vision of the cards. This is a photoshop retouched, but if you like my style, i can draw it. One question: for the final illustration is necesary always draw it by hand? or it is a mix between hand draw and photoshop??? Thanks and Regards. #9 #10 #11

#increaseprize I¨m interested and will be sending a sketch but I do believe that the prize should be increased due to the elaboration and the details of the drawing.... even though it is part of a full deck of cards, the prize is underated....

  Please consider that you have to draw 3 items from which only one is very complex (the figure). But let me know what price you would consider fair and what exactly I would get for it. Thanks
