    LOST - Backer Card Reimagined

    As a fan of LOST, I was excited when I heard of BBP's new line of figures but was admittedly disappointed when I saw the card art. I have never been a fan of using the actual action figures to represent the artwork for the characters (HATED when CTVT did it) . I prefer the "Mego Method" of illustration or actual photos.

    Knowing I'd at least be purchasing a John Locke figure, I thought I'd dust off the old LOST card I designed several years ago when I thought I was going to do some customs (this was even pre-McFarlane figures , may have even been 1st Season I think) and tweak it a bit...

    Unfortunately, I discovered that the original files have since been trashed...but I still had pics of the finished cards:



    After seeing them again I realized it wasn't going to work...BBP was going with a different assortment of characters than I had originally envisioned for my custom line.

    So back to the drawing board as they say....Voila:

              Your attention to detail on all the legalese is impressive. My Eyes Glaze Over when I think about it.

                  Looks great!

                  I actually prefer the darker background photo on the first card over the paradise-looking, clear blue water look of the newer card (though the newer background at least shows an island, points for that). But the layout, photos, everything on the 2nd card looks great, and overall - sadly - superior to the design I've seen of the actual product cards.

                  I'd much rather see your cards on the released product.
