Hey Guys,

I'm working on a new deck of cards. Most everything is up in the air right now like (name, printer, brand, etc). I'm thinking about calling is "Eminence" because I'm really focusing on the royalty, but it's a working title.

It's going to consist of 12 custom court cards (with updated hues but still keeping a very traditional feel), custom tuck, Ace of Spades and card back. My goal with this deck is to keep to the standard parameters when designing the court cards. I want to really focus on making a very beautiful but functional deck (not so much a novelty item). I may have two versions of the deck, a black and red version and a full color version (using traditional yellows, reds, blues, and blacks).

I'm going to try to get a card out every two days. At that rate, it will be on Kickstarter sometime later this year!

Here's the King of Diamonds:


I've relocated the axe from the original card to the Kings hand, slightly modified his face, beard and hair, and overall torso. Throughout this deck I'll try to keep a lot of the patterns that appear on the standard court cards but slightly modifying them. Of course I'm going to add a few new ones too (like the chainmail on this king). Again, I'm going with an updated look but a familiar feel.

Hope you guys like it!

I post all my latest card designs to Instagram first, so if you want to see things before they're posted here, please give me a follow on instagram! @vadim.smolenskiy

Hey All,

I've recently began conceptualizing the second edition of the Lumberjacks and I want to introduce this early to get feedback. They will be printed by USPCC again, but this time around they WILL be sealed with either a seal or cello... or both! Oh, and all new art too!

Here are a rough drawings.





I'll be posting on here, Facebook and Twitter. Be sure to like or follow if you want updates and progress.

C&C welcomed and encouraged!

Thanks,

Hey,

So I'm kinda new here. I've been browsing for a little while as I've been designing a deck. It's a lumberjack/woodsmen themed Bicycle deck that's done in line art. I'm going for a simple yet detailed illustrations. Anyway, I'd love to hear what you guys think. I'm also open to suggestions!

I comp'd up some cards and boxes:

Front of the tuck box in white:


Back of the tuck box:


Ace of Hearts and the backs of the cards:


King of Diamonds, Queen of Spades and Jack of Clubs:


And another option for the tuck box... all red:


The Bicycle logo I used is not the official logo, for placement purposes I used a mockup of their logo. To start things off, I'm not a fan of the swirls on the back of the tuck box. If someone has a better suggestion I'll be willing to try it!

Thanks,
Kleetz
