Old School Game Manual

I've been on a retro kick lately (real original, I know). I like finding old comics and game boxes and magazines at Half Price Books. I imagine what adventures some kids in the 80s and 90s had with this stuff. Anyhoo, I was going to do a Nintendo game cartridge, but decided to do this one first.

art direction?

So I've been working on a card game off and on for, like, 8 years now. Still trying to figure out the card layout. I feel like I'm getting closer, but not quite there yet. I found some previous comps with which to compare the current direction.

The bottom image is a test comp. I want the art to look pulp comic-y I think. I need to tighten up the phobia icons, and pick a final color palette.
