Another Playing card Project, this time is based on an anime I recently finished watching, "Hunter x Hunter".
Card design in inkscape, 3d render in Blender.
The back design has the same pattern as the cards in the series, used often by one of the characters, Hisoka, you can see him in the reference pictures. I added to the pattern on the back the logo of the Hunter Association, the same version as the one printed on the Hunter License card.
For the location I chose to recreate the spot where we can see Hisoka in some key moments of the story (trying not to spoil :)). I added also a candle light off screen, first time using Light Groups in Blender, I used them for the flicker effect, in order to minimize the render process for my old pc and have multiple images with different light values, then joined them together with video editing.
I used a frame from the anime as reference for the joker card design and the position of the cards.
