Countdown 'til Christmas Krampus Style II

Today I am finishing up the cards I received as part of the 2018 Attic Cards Inked Nightmares Krampus Kickstarter bundle. The metal are really cool but my scanner does not scan these types of cards well, none the less, they look great in hand. The first card is dark but Krampus appears like a Skeksis from The Dark Crystal, kind of bird like with a menacing beak.

The sketch card I received is from Jason Montoya, an illustrator who has worked on some major sets from UD and Cryptozoic. I love this card, easily one of my favorites from the sketch cards that I have seen. 

If you were wondering, here are the promo cards. Two are a puzzle set and the third is art from a Montoya sketch card.

Countdown 'til Christmas Krampus Style

I took part in a Kickstarter campaign for the release of the 2018 Attic Cards Inked Nightmares Krampus set and just got the cards, perfect timing. 

If you aren’t up on your European folklore, Krampus is punisher of bad children. He travels around punishing bad children by some severe measures like spanking, chaining them up, eating them or tossing them in a sack. In some tales he travels with good ole Saint Nick during the Feast of St. Nicholas. Unlike Santa and his cold milk, Krampus is offered Schnapps so he has that going for him.

The set from Attic Cards is made up of 9 base cards, 3 metal cards and sketch cards. There are also printing plates and progressive proofs for parallels and 3 promo cards. I went with one of the lower end donations, so I got the base set, 3 metal cards and a sketch card but they tossed in the 3 promo cards and 2 progression proofs so that was a nice add in bonus.

The cards have a UV coating and are highly detailed with the full sized image on a red background, it appears like a burlap sack texture but it is smooth, and the backs are a snow globe type appearance with the front image repeated in the center but a closeup.
