ENCORE! POST - ParaPod Trumps

Hello there

It's another ENCORE! post where I bring you some blasts from the Patreon past to revisit/see for the first time...

Today, just as with the Lard-Arse strips the other week, we get a full selection of posts all together for the very first time.  These posts were spread weekly over the best part of a year, but now they're here in one go.

These were ParaPod Top Trumps cards that I drew in alternate weeks with Top Trumps cards for the Dodds Incarcerated podcast. The original plan was to have these made for merch at the movie screenings, but I had no confidence in it being cost effective. I think it was about 13 quid a pack just to have them made if memory serves, and without pricing them accordingly it was an awfully large amount of admin for zero return.

The other reason for doing these was a valiant attempt to keep ParaPod stuff in people's minds when everything was up in the air and the film screenings were on hold/illegal.  I really did try my very best to keep it relevant...seeing them all together like this, it was quite the ton of work hours huh?

They're funny though, and worth a look.  It was a -sort of - fun project to do, but really did get time consuming and a bit of a drag.  I think you can see with some of the artwork when I was clinging to the raft, but it was also an invaluable learning curve with doing digital art.  I got decent at it further down the line from the lessons learnt in making these daft things.  

I shan't blabber on because there's 34 images here (and another 2 "chase" cards of Simon and Bil, which were sneaked into other posts), so shall let you get on with perusing.

Hope all is well and happy for you and yours

Sending all the love
