My only other point would be that pink floral line, have you tried other colours? I think a green, brown even light grey might be nice earthy colour palette to use, I think personally the light pink is a little bit distracting.

Great work so far.
I was thinking going with a yellowed background. The light pink is because of red pips. Do you think I should just go with one color for that part in the whole deck?

Colour schemes are one of the most important things about custom decks, I personally would use an "Earthy" colour palette (eg. browns, greens, dark reds etc) as I think it would fit perfectly with the style of the deck. Try some experiments, leave the desk and return in 20 mins and have another look, I always find this works well when I'm coming up with ideas.

When is this deck coming out? It looks great! I like that Ace of Spades A LOT, don't you do anything to that design. The courts, the back... All very nice work.

This deck needs to happend.

I dream of a world where wars are fought only by having dance offs. I also dream that a Finnish playing card designer would exist. The former seems more likely to happend.

This should be moved to "New & Custom Decks". The Kickstarter should be somewhere in the first post.



MOD EDIT (which is really just to avoid overinflating my own post count): It's right here.
