Looking great!

I really dislike the choice of font and the style of the pips. The one fo the left of the "Q" is different than the one to the lower left of the "Q"

Suggestion: You could try just the to the right of the "Q" on pip, like Stockholm 17 did on this last deck. Or try conventional, but what you have now doesn't work in my opinion.

The sketch is fantastic, as usual.

Pips look a bit odd as does the Q. Otherwise great sketch. Love the pistols under the Q.

The "Q's" to me look a bit squashed. And the smaller little Spade in front of the "Q", too much. Too busy. OTHER THAN THAT....Wow!!!

Thank you for comments!

The spade looks better. The "Q" doesn't.

Now on the skull on the right, the spades don't look the same either, as they are the old ones.

I'm probably going to burn for this, but I like the first pip set up better.

When I see the Q the number 8 jumps right out at me. Agree about having the wrong pips on the skulls too.

I decided to use this font as it seems the most appropriate and the most authentic and close to those Spanish fonts that've been used in Mexico.

Very elegant font. Fits the classy looking queen.

I love the new font!

Much, much better. Totally fits with the artwork and the period, as you say - and the artwork is fantastic!

I'm a huge fan of Dia de los Muertos motifs and artwork, so I love the skull details.

I really like it, but for it to really really function as a deck I think the Spade pip needs to be under the Q as opposed to next to it.

I really like the new pip design. I still like the original one, but the new one is very well done.

Some progress

I was sold on the first post.

Very good work, keep going

I hope they are as impressive in color as they are in b+w!

Agreed.

That said, I'd be in for a sketch deck.

Some update

The artist's command of faces is really quite awesome.

Very interested in this project, being Mexican-American myself. The artwork looks very good and I can't wait to see the final product!

Beautiful illustrations! The characters look great and I love all the detail around them

Some progress...

Looking great!

Lovin' that Queen of hearts

Sooo, just curious.. anymore progress with this deck?

I would also like to know what's been going on with this deck. Excited to see the final product.

Also, that Queen of Spades reminds me of Ana Cheri. Beautiful!

Here is the first deck from the series. Please share your thoughts about the design.

It's a good looking box, given that the gold areas are going to have foil in them.

I would like to see more of the courts in color and also the Aces and the Jokers. This looks like a great project so far.
