Title: Delicious
Post by: Emmanuel on January 30, 2014, 02:13:34 AM
Some of you may already know from other sites, but I've started my fourth papercut transformation deck. This year's deck is called Delicious, and it's all about food and eating/drinking.

Here are the first few cards.

Man - those are freakin' AWESOME.  I don't know how you manage it, but you're outdoing yourself with each deck!

Look at that Ace of Spades!... and the Two of Spades... and the Three, the Four, and the Five.  :mindf-ck:
I want huge prints like those and hang them all over my place.

Emmanuel,
This isn't cool. I only make so much money per year! Your transformation decks blows the others away. Looking forward to all 3 of your projects.

Oh, man! Those cards are genius. How on earth do you create so many fresh concepts?

Looking forward to having more of your decks in my collection!

Am I to understand that, even though "clipped wings" and "sawdust" are still not yet available... and won't be for months... you are teasing us with yet another awesome deck???  >:(

Why do you enjoy torturing us so?   :mindf-ck:
What have we done to deserve this?  ;D

Haha, trust me, I don't mean to torture you all. Had things gone as planned, Clipped Wings would have been released in May/June of last year. I'll catch up though.

Damn those are awesome. I like to try to give some useful critical opinions on decks or at least a helpful point towards useful reference, but I got nuthin' here. This is flippin' awesome. I like it much more than clipped wings already and that deck was great!

Don't you mean "will be great?"  Seeing as how Clipped Wings is not even published yet and all...  :))

Emmanuel, there's nothing to knock here - great job.

Get your darned Clipped Wings deck up, I wants it!  ;)

This deck looks like it's off to a great start too.  I noticed right off the bat that the mixer is based on a Kitchenaid.  Love those mixers, though I prefer (and have) the professional model.

Emmanuel I have to give you mad props on your decks, you come up with the most interesting "Scenarios", I say scenarios because they aren't just random images. They make sense and the way you incorporate the "Classic" layout intot the cards is just great.......I love the Spade "Frosting" on the 9.....just fantastic!!
Title: Re: Delicious
Post by: CordedTires on March 31, 2014, 05:46:52 PM
And the spade mushrooms on the 10.....just perfect, but who would have thought.

Honestly, your work makes me look at the world with new eyes. But it's still really down to earth. SO fantastic, thank you!

Post by: Don Boyer on April 01, 2014, 12:26:02 AM
Your imagination and talent never cease to amaze me, Emmanuel.  I'd be racking my brain for enough material to fill a single semi-transformation deck, never mind FOUR of them...  :))

To everyone who backed Clipped Wings, USPCC told me that the decks should be finished in the second half of July. Delivery of pledge rewards will occur in August. It's a waiting game at the moment, but more thorough updates will be sent as the delivery phase approaches. The Sawdust Kickstarter campaign will most likely launch in September.

Have I mentioned how much I love your work? I'll just say it again anyway. I love your work!

The 6 of hearts seems like a pretty sad story though. :( But lol at the 9 of hearts.  :D

Hahaha! Love that message on the 9 of hearts!

The courts are absolutely stunning! The sheer amount of personality in them is really something you don't see in other card decks.
I'm counting the days until the release! Keep up the amazing work!

any updates on this?

As far as I know, the deck is still in the design phase while Emmanuel promotes the Sawdust deck that recently released.  He used to do these decks by starting with a design a week - the cards would be all done by year's end.  But he's mentioned that as he's been doing this a while, he's gotten more efficient as well, so the designs take less time than they used to.  I'm guessing that he'll be done sometime in the early-mid fall with a KS campaign set to begin shortly thereafter.

Actually, he completed the Delicious cut paper artwork at the end of 2014 and is now working on his next 'Name of the Game'.  Obviously there is still work to be done before it is brought to Kickstarter, but it's a possibility really at anytime when he's ready.

Here's all the Delicious art: https://www.facebook.com/victor.e/media_set?set=a.671815234868.1073741832.14700468&type=3 (https://www.facebook.com/victor.e/media_set?set=a.671815234868.1073741832.14700468&type=3)
