Hello Everyone,
I was wondering if I can have your opinions on these character sheets. They are used for a life counter, tracking used and unused abilities and when a Vorpal shard can be used.
What I am looking for is your opinion on the look of it. I am open to all opinions. I know you don't know much about the game but I am going for pure visual opinion right now.
Thank you in advance.
Mike Hopper
I like the art style.
The life counters seem too... bold to me. Like you said we don't know much about the game, but unless those hearts are the central aspect of the character cards, I would subdue them a bit. I get the sense those abilities are more the central focus, to I would try and bring more attention to those. Have you tried making the hearts partially opaque like the ability boxes? I feel like that would give more consistency overall to the card
I like the partially opaque nature of the ability boxes. The font choice seems a little too cramped. It doesn't look like you are struggling for space so I might try making the font larger.
I think it would look better to give those ability boxes just a touch more character... something like this: https://sanguoshaenglish.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/characters.jpg
Nothing crazy, just making the border a bit more interesting and less like a drag and drop rectangle anyone can make in Word.
Overall I'm impressed!
I agree, the hearts are a little overwhelming. I would say increase the spacing between words in the boxes.
Overall the character sheet looks really cool! The updated hearts are much better. Is the crystal thing supposed to be behind heart 7? Is that significant? If not, it seems to draw the eye specifically to that heart. Also, do you need that many hearts? having them run down the side and then across the bottom seems sort of cluttered. Not trying to be too critical, just some of my opinions!

Thank you very much for your time and thoughts. I do like the idea of spicing up the boxes a little. The hearts are the life counters and could be lighter, I think. I'll work with it a little and post again here.
Thanks again!
