The Redemption and Return of Serg Beret II

A few weeks ago, we saw some amazing illustrated Cards Against Humanity cards floating around on Tumblr. We caught up with their creator, Hamish, who created this hand-made deck for school credit.

How did you find out about Cards Against Humanity? Can you describe your first time playing?

I can’t quite remember how I came across Cards Against Humanity for the first time, but I have a feeling that after having heard about it a few times online, I saw something on Will Wheaton’s tumblr and decided I’d have a look, having been a big fan of Tabletop for a while. Once I got to the site I was pretty excited to find that it was free to download and print myself. So the two guys I live with and I got printing and cutting. After an hour or so of being in hysterics from reading each card as we cut them out we thought we’d get on with the first play through. We all thought it was amazing, and proceeded to play for a good few hours, getting progressively funnier and more ridiculous with each drink we had along with it.

What inspired you to illustrate Cards Against Humanity?

Well I illustrated them as part of my first term submission for uni. We had to write ourselves a brief and I was struggling for ideas for the next part of mine. This was all about a week after I’d first got a hold of Cards Against Humanity, so one morning I just sort of got up and decided I’d see how many I could do before the Christmas holiday kicked off in a couple of weeks.

What process did you undergo to create your version of Cards Against Humanity?

When I set out producing them it became apparent pretty fast that I had quite a lot to do, so thought it might be best to give myself some pretty tight parameters to work within. I decided to set up by having a pile of blank 5x5 cm cards in front of me and my own printouts of the actual game along side, just turning one of the cards over at a time to reveal what it was I had to draw. Then giving myself 5 minutes to quickly draw the first idea that came into my head, and just moving on to the next card, coming back to them after an hour to ink each one up. After a quick scan at a pretty high resolution I then added them to one of the walls in our uni studio where I was working, I’m pretty sure they’re still stuck up there now.

How long did it take to create your version of Cards Against Humanity?

I think I created the Illustrations for the 260 odd cards in about two weeks, then gave myself another couple to put them together with the text for each card, print them up and cut them all down. The two weeks doing all those drawings passed so much quicker than the ones cutting them all up, which was a complete pain. Worth it when I had a set done though.
