INUYASHA - RIVALS PLAYMAT

Hi Everybody!
This was a super fun mat to work on! I've been playing a ton of the Sesshomaru deck and it's been a blast! While it's not entirely meta, it's definitely still pretty dang strong!
It takes some getting used to, but once you figure out all the combos and moves, you can compete fairly seriously with it! 😤
I have yet to give Naraku a try, but I've run into it a couple of times and WOW! It seems incredibly strong as well! I've got to give it a go!!

All that aside, I really wanted a contrast on this mat! The absolute evil that is Naraku, the Independently motivated Kikyo, all blended against the calm/serene beauty that Sesshomaru brings as well. It was going to be a delicate balance from any perspective, but I think I really nailed it! Especially on the Energy Line which is a stark comparison for the two haha
I think I also nailed the Inuyasha text too! I was able to get that radial look on each letter originally, but it looked a little bit too dated even though it was accurate, so I turned it into a linear gradient with halftones and a stronger stroked edge that I think helps it pop properly while still giving that same feeling of the original logo! 

I really hope you all enjoy!
Till Next Design,
