Anyways, that is a great starting point for characters. 

List of the suposed kings:


  • King of Spades: David, King of Israel from the Old Testament
  • King of Clubs: Alexander the Great, King of Macedonia, who conquered a vast region and lived from 356 to 323 BCE.
  • King of Hearts: Charlemagne, King of France and the first Holy Roman Emperor, who lived from 747 to 814 AD.
  • King of Diamonds: Roman Caesar Augustus. Some sources say the king of diamonds is Julius Caesar, not Augustus.

He starts with a bunch of diferent aproaches and then finishes with a more refined render and character breakdowns.
I also love how he gets involved with the character story, since this project is part of a indie development and the story was created by him.
