Dance of death

Unread post by SerKoN »

Dear forum users, the idea arose to create a deck on the theme book of the 17th century "Dance of Death." Here is the first outline of the map, express your opinion. Thank you. Work on maps based on Hans Holbein the Younger. "Dance of Death", 1524-1526 completely changed. Now the basic idea lies at the basis of the interaction between high cards.

WOW! :drool:
I LOVE the artwork, but I think a 2 way card would work much better. These 2 images should be on 2 different cards :D

Thank you for your feedback. The idea is that each card symbolizes death to its character. This is the main intention of this deck.

I'm fine with two characters illustrated on the same card. I don't like the hard line dividing them. I'd prefer to see it seamlessly transition from one character to the other.

Thanks, for your advice, about the hard line. We did not attach much importance to this, considering that this is an insignificant feature. Now think about it.

As an example, take a look at how this project handled the same theme:



Oh, and please don't be discouraged that someone else did the same theme: your artwork has a different style, and as such, I'm sure will attract interest. Just ask the many people on this board who have added more than one Dia de las Muertos deck to their collection. Or steam punk. Or Cthulu...

Can you do something to link the living person to the death like have the death hold a decayed fan the living woman is holding? Or is the "dance" their holding hands?
Move on, nothing to see here.

Thanks for asking. The main task is that whatever you are and how you live death is always somewhere near. The idea was taken from the work of Holbein, where this meaning is conveyed. This is only the first outline of the map, and there is still discussion of how best to express the main idea of ​​this idea. So with pleasure I want to hear advice and sound observations on these maps.

Personally I love the one-way design.

Sure 2-way is more functional, but that's not what this deck is aiming for. THe artwork is very good, and the transition between the two halves (all too often a hard break or obscured by some object) is masterful.

I'm looking forward to seeing more!

There are a couple of questions on this card. 1) This is a bush coming from nowhere. There is an offer to give the contours of the flowerpot, so that it looks natural.

I don't mind that there is no pot to base the tree/flower. I think it might look odd on death's side.

Give it a try though, it might look good.

On the part of his death, I think there is no need to draw, he is as if burnt, or covered with fire.

Welcome back!

Are you familiar with the Moirai deck?

You should take a look at it on Kickstarter. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/we ... ying-cards Similar theme, done very well, although with a very different style.

Edit: See also, Solemn Oath: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=11890. And also, Undeath: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ka ... c?ref=card

Again, your style is different from theirs, but this should give you a sense of how others are approaching this theme. I look forward to seeing how your project evolves!

Thank you very much for the advice. I would like to start a new topic on my cards.
Since the new deck I'm working on is significantly different from the previous one.

I would prefer Joker 4. But then again, with the full art effect you're going for this deck, why have the joker obscure the card? Perhaps put it on the upper left corner instead?

Thank you for the recommendation. We have a joker in action, he stabs someone. For this, I left the static option.

Right now, my only feedback is that I don't like the different sized pips on the number cards.
