Development of genuine paintings

Since moving away from the texture printed cards, i've been investigating what the best way to show that a card is a genuine card.

visually is the quickest way to tell. the feeling based mechanic would've been way too time consuming... And players would still Need to look to see which genuine card it is.

Originally i had a stamped version of the words 'fake' and 'genuine'

They didn't add to the art or the style. The paintings are wrapped up for shipping - to dispose of if they don't sell at the black market.

I fiddled around with the idea of a customs stamp, tried a few templates of one. I even considered UV spotting over the painting part of the card.

in the end i settled on a very small, very simple 'seal', which is ascetically very pleasing!

It was originally a seal with a letter g inside it - for 'Genuine'. i preferred the shape of the 'a' and the term 'seal of authenticity'!!

And thats it, the evolution of the genuine artwork!
