Following on from a recent entry, today I spent the afternoon decorating the plain white boxes in which I keep my Chrononauts cards.



I suppose I could have done a draft before hand, but I opted to just freehand in pencil using a blown-up printout of the logo for reference. Then I inked over in black Sharpie and colored in with red.

The other sides I did much the same, using cards themselves as reference material while sketching in pencil and inking in Sharpie. I'm really rather pleased with the front design, which just came to me while I flipped through the deck. Of course, I had a practice attempt at that one, because I accidentally did the whole design in full, right down to coloring, on the bottom side of the box. Oops.

The far end has a linchpin icon like Lennon's glasses, but of the Manhattan Project. I'm less pleased with that than I am Lennon's glasses, so I'm happy to leave it out of sight. It's less recognizable and more like an abstract symbol. I think I ought to have chosen the sinking of the Titanic.

Currently I'm doing something similar to my box for Early American Chrononauts. I'm just not sure what to do for the front panel. I don't really want to replicate the design I did for the first box. I want to do something different. Perhaps I'll think of it while I sleep.

EDIT: And have now done so.

Also, 30 Rock is fricking awesome. As is being able to watch it on demand from Netflix.
