Gods and Minions - StatCard Mockup

hey,
i dont know why i put posts like this into the protoype forum - i guess we need a art/design forum too!

anyways, attached is a mockup (actually its a bit more than just a mockup) of the StatCard (Dice Statistics Card) for my upcoming game Gods & Minions.

maybe you have some feedback for me, regarding the design - here is a bit of explanation and clarification:

1. General Design - only using basic graphical elements, scrolls, paper and rock textures as i want to keep the design as neutral as possible. i wont make different statcard layouts for the factions (at least not at the current point of development), so it has to look good, simple and clear for all factions (good/evil or whatever)

2. graphics - i am reusing the textures from the game logo and rulebook, no need to re-invent the wheel all the time. the icons and unit image are from the dice themselves as i cannot (and dont want to) affort extra images to illustrate all the creatures in the game a second time.

3. top scroll - shows the dice name, the space under the name is reserved for longer titles wich might require two lines of text. after the delimiter line you find the type, subtype and keywords of the dice

4. portrait - this shows the ID (identification) side of the die. each die has exactly one ID side that features a portrait of the unit it represents. on the StatCard it has no effect but to represent the unit.

5. RC - "resource cost" - the amount of resource points you have to pay to bring this die into play.

6. HP - "hit points" - the amount of damage this die can absorb unti it is defeated and removed from play.

7. Icons + Explanation - explains all the icons found on the sides of the die. Symbols can be multiply times on a die. There is space below the shield for another symbol (not required for the die shown in the example).

8. Textbox - Some dice also have special rules not defined on their die sides, these rules are explained here.

PS: There is no deck, StatCards are not shuffled/drawn/discarded and there is no hand in my game as Gods & Minions is completely based around custom fantasy dice. The cards are just references for players who do not remember the rules already. it is planned that players keep the statcards of their dice close to be able to look up symbols and special rules. this is just a reference - NOT a card game!

well thats it!

Looks great, I like the changes that you added, and can't really think of anything negative. Looks like a stellar game to me.
