Card arts

[Neon]

Since 0.16, Crawl contains descriptions of pictures on cards (I found them in /dat/descript/cards.txt). I want to make an actual deck out of it, but I feel silly nostalgic for retracted cards. I know that the descriptions were written by theTower, nicolae-, PleasingFungus, ontoclasm, and the rest of ##crawl-dev (aba162c | theTower | 2014-11-12 18:18:42 -0800 line in http://crawl.develz.org/trunk/changes.txt), but I am very embarrassed to write to them in questioning of depictions of removed cards. Maybe you can invent ones? Thank you.
P.S. My artistic skills are incredibly bad, I doubt that I can show what I will do - in the best case, it will resemble prehistoric art. Most likely, I will order the drawings from the artist, if I ever will have money.
P.P.S. Cards, descriptions of which I would like to have: Metamorphosis, Herd, Bones (removed in 0.16), Experience, Sage, Water, Vitrification, Trowel, Minefield,
Shuffle, Warp, Portal, Frost, Flame, Spark, Flight, Battlelust, and Genie (0.15), Bargain (0.14), Spade (0.11). Maybe also some cards from https://crawl.develz.org/wiki/doku.php? ... ical:decks development wiki?

I don't think the descriptions follow any significant style, from the commit you mentioned they are described as simply "Mostly a whole bunch of vaguely-symbolic vaguely-iconic flavour". If you're looking for removed card descriptions, I'd say just make up your own art? Or let the artist you commision do so...

I'm flattered that you like my descriptions (you can tell which ones are mine because they're the best) but I'm not sure I'm feeling up for making up new ones at the moment. Like tasonir said, though, most of them are just symbolism and/or abstraction. It might be fun to try to think of your own.
