Well, after posting in another thread about these cards...
(http://i975.photobucket.com/albums/ae240/1rideout/2-1.jpg)
A little birdy told me to go to the artists twitter page... I was shocked to find this...
The new Blue Crown decks
>>> Out of respect for the Blue Crown team, I have removed the pictures of these decks. <<<
I hope this deck looks as good as the artwork this guy pumps out.
CBJ
-
That's very nice.
Even better than the crown decks series.
Hope they won't be limited.
-
Really interesting concept, can't wait to see more. I do have a soft spot for the original blue crown deck though, probably one of my favorite designs along with Artifice... And those sort of lack the simplicity and elegance of the crowns, but they definitely have their own charm.
-
I'm not fond of the colors. The tuck box looks great, and the artwork as a whole looks great, but I prefer my cards to have their faces uncluttered. I am, and always will be, an avid supporter of minimalism.
This seems like a deck along the lines of Fantastique: Definitely worth buying a few for the art and the uniqueness, but not exactly a usable deck for games or magic.
-
Exactly what I meant by "lacking the simplicity and elegance". I'm not even a magician and don't intend to become one, but what I love the most in a deck design is elegance. Artifice, Crown, what we've seen of the Mana deck, Arcane, even Tally-Ho in a less eye-catching way, those are designs I would buy by the brick.
But I definitely like the artwork on those. I'm curious to find out if they have custom faces and pips as well, since the Crown deck had standard Arrco faces I believe.
-
They do. There's a link somewhere around here to his website which lists all of the faces.
I don't mind the "busyness" of the card faces. I just wish that the difference between red and black suits was a bit more distinctive.
BTW: are we certain the card boxes aren't mockups? Alex Pandrea, wherever you are, can you weigh in on this important life-or-death issue?
;)
-
Those tuck-cases look self-assembled (Robert Butler still has one or two self-assembled Vortex cases). That said, I don't expect the cases to change much, and I honestly love them as they are now.
-
This is still a prototype, right?
And could you estimate the time for printing decks after the prototype are finished? Alex
-
i really like the design .. and is the lion the back design ??i hope it wont be limited so that i can get more time to get the deck
-
This is still a prototype, right?
And could you estimate the time for printing decks after the prototype are finished? Alex
Honest answer: With the USPCC 2-24 months. ;D

24 months?
Hahaha, okay then I won't be hurried with this deck.
JK, if it's 2 months them it's possible to be around February.
Nice! At least I have time to save up my money.
-
kinda reminds me of the seasons...
-
Hey guys,
I'm not sure if these cards will have the faces I posted in the other thread.
I'll try to find out more about them
CBJ
-
Hey dudes. Thanks for all of the feedback and excitement. Gotta be honest, we didn't expect to see a thread on these for a long time!
This deck is still in development, so we're really not ready to share much info. The pics are home-made mockups made by the artist. Nothing you see should be considered "set in stone" for now.
Don't worry, you'll certainly hear more from us about this in the future. In the meantime though, you guys should just enjoy your Crown Decks! :)

I'm not hurry at all cause I don't have money. LoL
But I'll definitely but your decks. I love owls.
-
I really love the look of this deck, even if it is just a prototype. I look forward to seeing the finished version! ;D

-
Looks amazing! It doesnt seem like the type of deck The Blue Crown would produce but its still awesome and I really hope they do produce it. The artwork on it is just incredible!
-
Lol~ so much for practicality
-
These look pretty nice. I'm with Alex on it being very busy. I like a more simple design, but these do like kind of nice.
It looks very un-blue crown like to me, so I was surprised to see that they will most likely be producing this one. It'll be interesting to see more about this deck in the months to come.
-
I really like the looks of this deck, keep up the designing guys, I can't wait for the release!

I posted at the BC forum, but they didn't delete it.
I'm confused. Should I go and delete it myself?
-
Just got word that these won't be available for a while. :-*

Haha exactly what Loldude said! I've heard some rumors that they are supposed to be released on the anniversary of the first Blue Crown deck release date, although no confirmation on that rumor. No rush though ::)

They won't be. I asked Kevin Reylek about that and he said they won't.

Okay thanks for the confirmation! I'm glad that they are holding off, I think it's a smart move. TBC seems to be making smart moves when it comes to decks. I'm glad they aren't unleashing a ton at once like some other companies
-
I confirmed that these won't be out for awhile, said nothing about dates or anniversaries. The anniversary of the site is coming up on March 8, but the anniversary of Crown decks isn't til May.
In any case, there is no definitive release date scheduled yet for this deck. We always have multiple ideas in the pipeline simultaneously, and this is one we weren't planning to share for a little while yet.
-
I'm glad it won't come out yet too.
Cause I really want to buy those owls.
-
the crown decks kick ass. Been using a v2 blue crown for months now and that deck is a horse! ive gone through probably 4 other decks during that time too.
-
I don't have any deck from the Blue Crown, but this one I will get 1 or 2 bricks :-[ :-[

Are there many pictures of these cards out? I've seen the first picture that CBJ posted but that's it. I wouldn't be able to say how many of a deck I would buy without seeing it, and many people are talking about how many they might buy... Just wondering if I missed something?

What I saw are pics of the tuck bow, there were owls on the front and they look really nice.

I just saw CBJ's pic, now I am afraid we are talking about different decks :o :o :o
What I want to buy is this one: http://love.youthwant.com.tw/4/book_readz.php?stud_id=100123572&b_id=2537&p=2545&ftype=9 (http://love.youthwant.com.tw/4/book_readz.php?stud_id=100123572&b_id=2537&p=2545&ftype=9)

I meant these decks too.

I knew, you mentioned owls. I don't know what animal is on CBJ's pic ??? ???

Isn't that lion?

Awesome thanks for the picture! I missed that photo. I'm not sure what I think of the box yet, it's very different.
I'm pretty sure that is an owl. At least it looks like an owl to me haha

Oh.. it's a lion :-[
If it is the face of this deck, I have to reconsider how many decks I should buy :-\

Me too, this doesn't go along well with the box.

Yeah very different, it has comic style stokes. We have seen too many geometric patterns, machines, gear wheels, robots, and skulls, we need to see some lives >:( >:(

So I was browsing the web and I found this website that has a great deal of cards with very similar artwork to this deck. It seemed to fit right in and I figured you all would like to check it out. It seems to be the artist's, Hydro74, website. It's out there for all to see so here you go!
http://www.hydro74.com/hydro2011/neu/playingcards.html (http://www.hydro74.com/hydro2011/neu/playingcards.html)
Here's just a few of the pictures, click the link above to see more...

(http://www.hydro74.com/hydro2011/neu/playingcards/hearts/king.jpg)
What do you all think?
-
Whoa! That is very similar! That two of spades looks almost identical to the art seen before. I would not be surprised if it is the same deck, or same artist, though it would be weird due to the licensed characters such as Vader that appear on this deck.

Yeah I was wondering about that too. It seems strange to use all those licensed characters for legal reasons. Also I don't really get how all of them fit into one deck... ??? It's still some sweet art! I'm interested to learn more about the thought behind this one from both the artist and TBC
-
Same artist.
Some of this stuff is already covered in the VERY FIRST POST in this thread.
and in this thread...

Hey guys. Not much I can comment on. Joshua (Hydro) is a great artist, as you can see from what he has up on his site. As mentioned when the other stuff leaked out awhile back, it was work-in-progress material that was shared a bit early.
Just because he has various playing card artwork up on his site does not mean it was all made for a particular client, or that it will be produced.
As with any Blue Crown products, we will make announcements when we're ready. In the meantime, nothing you see should be interpreted as set in stone. If you don't get info from our site, forums, Facebook, Twitter, myself, or Alex, then it may or may not be something we're working on.
While the speculation is fun and exciting, I'd encourage people to not share photos or make guesses about dates, as many people read something on the forums and expect it to be true, and then they get disappointed when it's not. Rumors are just that, and should be taken with a grain of salt.
What I can say is that we're always working on exciting new projects when it comes to cards, DVDs, downloads, etc. We have some very cool stuff in the pipeline that we're going to share pretty soon.
Thanks!
-
@brown_bagg, ohh..no, it's so cruel to me. You broke my heart. I don't like those faces :( :( :(
@Reylek, how could you say that, guessing about the dates and designs is our fun of collecting modern decks. well, I know we are standing on different positions ???
I don't like the faces and I hope they are not the faces of the Owls.
One side of the Owl box says The Blue Crown, doesn't it? I want the Owls!! I want the Owls!! >:( >:(

Yeah I did know that CBJ, but I thought it would be cool to link to the artists website which has a few more pictures. I know many of the newcomers to the board may have missed out. I also remember you had to take some pictures down, but when I found them on the artists website I figured it was okay to share since it was out in the public.
I wasn't trying to repost old stuff (I've been pretty good about that so far on here), I just thought it was some cool information to share with everybody on here both new and old. Sorry if I was being repetitive of some of the old posts, that truly wasn't my intention :)
-
I see lots of people like these but I personally dont like them. Not even a little bit honestly. They have good detail but to me the colour is too blank and simple and they are just IMO not that nice.
-
I don't think The Blue Crown wants us to share those pictures yet.
-
how do we have access to these photos that keep being leaked?
-
I don't think The Blue Crown wants us to share those pictures yet.
We don't work for TBC, MagicAddictz. If this forum or alex is manipulated by TBC or other playing card manufacturers, there is no fun and I won't be here.
-
there is also 1 picture of the deck in the upcoming decks thread. I never took that one down.
You can find all the pictures in the picture area of the artist's twitter account
Here's the thread to the upcoming decks thread, scroll down to the deck, and click the link

wait. why is the artist releasing pictures if TBC doesn`t want him too?

Actually I just went to check his twitter, and the pics have been removed

I saved all the pics before they were taken down but won't share them because I was asked not to.

u should make another account then post them lol jk... or am i?
-

Well then no need to let us know that then haha. I'm guessing it's not a huge deal since the pictures of some similar designs are on the artists website. The pictures getting out is something was bound to happen sooner or later. Although those most likely aren't the actual/final designs.
-
As Reylek was saying, if it didn't come from official Blue Crown channels, it's rumor and scuttlebutt, no more. Those were awesome-looking card faces in my opinion, but the odds of such a deck making it to print and sale are slim at best - could you imagine the licensing issues involved with all the copyrights and trademarks on some of the images he repurposed? I'm sure Altruism will get made, but not necessarily as you've been seeing it thus far.

Yeah that's true but I still feel that it will be a very similar style. So those pictures give us a good idea of what the general image of the deck will look like (minus star wars and transformers). Sure they may decide to scrap what they have and go a totally different route, but we've seen some pictures that would lead on to believe this is the style of the Altruism deck.
-
This deck looks cool. Anyone know when it'll come out? Btw, is that Darth Vader on the Ace of diamonds? :P

This deck will be coming out sometime this year but thats all we know. The pics that you see on this thread are not pics of the deck but they are deck designs by the same artist who is designing the Altruism decks.

this deck is release by the blue crown ?? i think it will be sold at the house of playing cards

That's a good point though. I wouldn't be surprised to see this be the maiden product of the HOPC. That would make a lot of sense. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Wasn't it mentioned by BC staff somewhere on here that the deck will be different somewhat from the images that were posted? I'm thinking a deck with so much IP from so many different companies would be difficult to impossible to get cleared by all the copyright/trademark holders. If it did go through, I don't think it would be cheap for the exact same reason.
-
I thought HOPC was a whole different project. I don't think they are planning on selling any decks there. I think they will be selling some sort of services or help/advice there. JMO

Yeah they did mention that. It will be a similar style I think. So the pictures give us a good idea of what to expect style wise.

We'll we have no idea really. I think they will sell decks though.

Well Don, any new info on these? You of anyone would have the inside scoop on these.
