Merfolk themed deck

[Eoghann]

Although I like how clean the back looks, I also appreciate an awesome fan. Some seashells, waves or even full bleed would look wonderful with this deck. And the rotated "pip mermaids" look better and with more purpose now. Can't wait to see once the placeholder mermaid goes and you put proper silhouettes there.

Rotating the mermaid looks better; It's an improvement. I think your ok to go for your Kickstarter. I don't see anything wrong with theses cards. I like the blue and purple colors for the suits. It's different. Have fun in the wormhole. I like it when a person comes here gets critiqued and make a great deck.

Hey Galen, what design software do you use?

Hey Galen, what design software do you use?

I'm working with Photoshop cs5. These are all developed using the USPCC die templates, in CMYK @ 1200dpi.

I'm sorry I've been kind of MIA lately, but I've been working on the artwork for the court cards, the tuck box, and a few other goodies that will go along with this project.
I still need to finalize the new silhouettes of the separate merfolk for their suits, but that will be done very soon. I would like to share one of the court cards with you: the suicide king.



Everything is in order, other than finishing up some of the other court cards and the jokers/gaff cards and this project will launch on Kickstarter this Monday!

Awesome! Your suicide king looks great!

[MagikFingerz]

Looks good, but I think maybe just having the harpoon just go behind the head would look better, like on the normal Suicide King. As it is, it just kinda disappears into his cheek. Shouldn't be a problem to just cut it off at the back of the head/neck instead. The blood can still be there for the extra shock-value. Also blue hearts are weird, but it depends on the other colors I guess.

[sprouts1115]

Have to agree with with MagikFingerz. The harpoon needs to go behind the head not in the cheek. Keep the blood. So your going with blue for Hearts and Diamonds and indigo with clubs and spades. That's your choice. You're the creator. Sometimes different is good.

Taking note and making the change I truly appreciate the input, guys.
