Title: Renderings of Seasons & CBJ's own awesome deck that never was
Post by: PoundFFFFFF on November 08, 2011, 10:24:29 PM
Per request of CBJ.

  All credits for Seasons artwork go to Alex Chin. I take no credit.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
The one at the bottom is a design that a friend and I had worked on for a themed deck.  But it all fell apart.

We had a few different back design ideas, sketches of some court cards.  Oh well

CBJ

  Aw.. what a pity~ I can see alot of creativity and thinking going into that, and it's quite shameful when other people are trying to put out decks that are done in an hour and solely for making money.

I hope you're successful in your future endeavors in making playing cards.

The idea for the deck was that each suit was a story.  The Jack=Enemy, Queen=Heroine, King=Hero, and the ace would have an action scene.  Every suit has a different set of characters and themes. Here's the spades...

Get the idea?

  It's 3ds Max - the model is basically made up of very thin rounded corner boxes that are stacked on top of each other and rotated slightly. then you take the image of the back design and apply it as a material to the boxes, if that makes sense at all.

How long does it take to make each one?

The longest part is uploading it to Flickr and Grabbing the BBCode. So pretty quick~ usually can be done in one take but sometimes the lighting and camera angles I have to change.

CBJ, that is beautiful work. :D I hope to see more of it in the future. I am going to raise your Karma on that one. I am going to applaud everyone who appreciated you on this thread.   I tried to get everyone on this page extra Karma. I hope you will notice that your day is better tomorrow. :D

Odd, I always thought that the Seasons had some faint gold highlights on the backs. Was that an old concept, or am I starting to go insane?   ???

It did in the center of the backs.

I love your design, CBJ!

Sidenote, the Seasons won't have borders that thin. It's impossible without sacrificing the quality of the cards. USPCC can't print them on center perfectly, and it's the reason I had to expand the Vortex ones. Mine are still thinner than traditional borders, but not to that extent.

To the OP, I'm pretty sure the guy behind the Seasons deck is named Alex Chin.
