Hey guys my name's lex. I am the man behind the cards... I love the fact that there was already a topic about my project!!!!!...  I can not artistically create work loved by every soul but it's still cool. This is my first deck.. feel free to check out some of my paintings... I am in a mechanical phase so that might be my next direction... So I joined this site to get feed back.. I see some and that's great.. Hopfully  my membership here will help me understand the world of playing cards and the people who really love them. With that said I personally see this deck of cards something I created from talent, patience, time and allot of dreaming. My Facebook and instagram show the full process. If you do not like that's cool but I bet you have a family member or friend you know this would make a great gift for... Thanks guys!!!

Hey Lex,
Glad to have you around, while like what you said, there isn't a deck that can please everyone, I do hope you can take some constructive comments around here and improve on the deck. I have some opinions about the deck and i hope it helps.

Like what has been mentioned around here, i'm not too font of the indices and the sideway pips. Also the indices are huge...Although i highly doubt this deck is meant for poker and card games, the indices and pips make it not as functional as it is suppose to be when holding in a fan or peeking.

Secondly, i'm not too fond of the fact you made the ace feel like a court card and the 10s feel like an Ace. Although it could be a new way of approaching things, it just doesnt feel right to me at least.

Also, the 3 pips at the side on the court cards looks redundant. It feels like it is there to fill up an empty space. I also can see that one of the 3 pips are coloured/designed while some are not. It just lacks some consistency and looks messy. If the 3 pips are a part of your concept somehow, i thought it could be better if better use was made out of it? Probably colouring 1 pip for J, 2 for Q and all 3 for K?

And while i like what you did to the number cards, I was thinking you could tone down the shades a little lighter on some the "floral" background to make the actual pips stand out a little more? E.g. It is getting a little hard to see the number of pips on a black high card like 8 or 9 with so much going on.

Lastly, i feel the card back feel very different from the rest of the deck. While the rest of the deck feels more fluid and flowing, the back feels very hard and symmetrical.

I do hope you do not take offense to anything i said. These are just some of my personal opinions. Irregardless, it is still some nice art work there, and i do wish you all the best for your project and hard work.

           I like your ideal for the piping...I will incorporate. Very great ideal thanks for your contribution..

Thanks everyone
