New Deck I am working on. Coat of Arms

Unread post by Jamm Pakd Cards »

My name is Justin and I am creating a new deck of cards to put on Kickstarter. The deck will be original art. My Theme is Coat of Arms. Each card will be unique art. See the transformation from sketch to illustration. This is the illustration that I have done so far on the king of clubs.

Thanks,

Interesting. So each card is a different coat of arms or each suit?

Each court card will have a different coat of arms. Kings and Queens will have crowns and the Jacks will have Knight helmets. The number cards will have a shield in the background and the suits will be laid out on the shield. The Joker has a jester hat in place of a crown.



All cards are 100% original art. This is the hand sketch that has been inked. This will be the King of Spades, illustration is not done yet but this will give you an idea.


I think I am going to make a few changes, I might have the lion holding a sword.

Sounds good, but if you like axes, you will like the King of Diamonds, it has two axes.

I thought it would be cool to incorporate a little history into the deck. In the 18th century the Swiss and German culture used different images for the four suits that are common today. They used roses, bells, acorns and shields. So throughout the deck you will find the old images incorporated in with the new. You will find hearts with roses, Diamonds with bells, clubs with acorns and shields with spades.

In the illustration you will see acorns in the floral design.

I really like the concept of this deck. I'm particularly attracted to how raw and handmade it feels. But it needs some refinement.

The letters inside the scroll need to be integrated more, as in make them bigger and follow the scroll's curve. It looks slapped on right now. Can you use the font applied to the pips?

The lion...well, I can understand it's meant to be a lion, but some features make it look rather cartoonish and anthropomorphic. The receding hairline definitely needs to be addressed, and cover the neck with some mane. The face looks more human than feline and his right paw is oddly twisted towards the shield.

I am glad you like the rawness feel, that is what I was going for.

Thank you for your suggestions. I will make the the letters bigger for sure. The font of the pips are hand drawn and I kind of wanted the name of the card to be more clean but I will explore some options.

Thanks for pointing out the mane on the lion, I was actually going back and forth on the mane myself. I wasn't sure if I was 100 percent on the mane, so thank you for your input I will make some changes on the lion.

Thanks for your input much appreciated. I will post updates and other cards coming soon.

Thanks
Justin

Thing is, compared the almost completely handmade nature of the deck, the clean font on the scroll just seems out of place. Handwriting or even a less "designed" font might do the trick. As long as you don't use Brush Script or Papyrus font! :)

Looking forward to the changes and other cards!

Here is what I have so far with the Jacks. As Eoghann suggested earlier I am still looking to change the font in the scroll, so for right now I just put the name of the card there.
