Hello!

I'm an amateur astromer with a passion for coding. I was trying to find a way to teach people about constellations and I decided to build a deck of tarot cards representing the real constellations, like a deck of flashcards, to help recognizing the shape.

The code is beautiful...the cards are not. So now I'm looking for some help to make the cards look nicer and less flat. The cards are all svgs and I'm hoping to find some combination of colors, markers and lines to make them really look like an artpiece, and then coding the art style so I don't have to redraw each constellation manually.

If you are interested in collaborating in this project, check the github repo HARey_constellation_cards, which contains the work I've done so far.

Thank you

Hey everyone — I've been building a reference and study site for artists called ArtRefs (www.artrefs.studio). The idea is a simple, all-in-one workspace that doesn't require an account or any sign-ups. Right now it has curated photo references you can search and filter by category or color, a reference board for pinning images together, a combine view for pulling random references side by side, a timed gesture practice mode, and an interactive 3D Asaro head you can light from any angle. Everything is completely free. I have a running list of things I want to add next, but before I build more I want to make sure I'm adding things artists would actually use. What would you want out of a tool like this?

I'm modifying these digital chess pieces to have a specific theme and I need the border width to help, does someone know the width or how I can get it? The border is a different object from the front, here's a link to a GitHub repo of the svgs, it goes directly to one svg, just in that piece set, you can download them to examine
