[ART1] Card Game Art Works: Sevens Road

Magic that transcends walls, mountains and even planets

Sevens Road Magician
Full art:

Individual emblem:

“7 circles”

Head:

“What an amazing innovation!”

*Sounds of fire dying out*

Omni object:

Top left: “Disentanglement puzzle sword ← → disentanglement puzzle mode”
Bottom right: “Omni object. 7 transformations?”

Illustrator’s comment:

“[Its design] began expanding from concepts like ‘the protagonist is an idea man grade schooler that uses his innovation power as his weapon’ and ‘his ace is a magical knight (rather than a [magic-user/spellcaster]) with a weapon’. While drawing him, I daydreamed about ‘a monster that rather than ‘super-orthodox!’ leans towards a twisted direction, rather than well dressed and good looking is mischievous and like a little devil…who has a puzzle/disentanglement puzzle-like omni object, lights a fire of ideas, and fights with a weapon that starts as a sword but can change forms…will something like that work for an anime?’ and other ideas like that, thinking this is a good direction, and thus decided on them. I think that at that time I also came up with the idea that ‘Sevens Road Magician himself doesn’t really come up with ideas of his own, and by borrowing the power of the idea man protagonist, he can fight by adapting himself to the situation!'”

Design:

“Slightly taller than Sevens Road”

The same as Sevens Road’s left eye”

“Space” (for the ponytail)

Witch: “Nihihi”

Staff #2:

Top-left: “Cylinder”
Top right: “The 2 plates extend as to cover the space between them”
Middle right: “Maybe she can use the effect of something that matches the pattern”
Yuuga: “That’s right, it’s Magic Cylinder!”

Illustrator’s comment:

“‘Something that keeps the inherited feeling of the Dark Magician Girls of Yu-Gi-Oh thus far, yet something different’…from that [concept], she became a big sister figure for Sevens Road Magician. Because ‘the protagonist has the power of innovation’, I thought of her weapon having a motif of the light bulb sign [from comics]. She can make the rings attached around the light bulb change their shape to bind an opponent or to open a gate to call forth Sevens Road Magician. A weapon that I’d like to have if it was real.”

Illustrator’s comment:

“This is the strongest magician that rules over the Sevens Roads, based on Sevens Road Magician, therefore should its consciousness still be that of Sevens Road Magician? Or maybe a new self after being merged with Witch? From my perspective as its artist, I’m on the ‘new self’ camp. Fusions sure are a mysterious thing.”
