Here a couple more renderings:
This is coming together rather nice! Love the QoH! But I also think that the green can be mutted slightly.

Re: UC2018 Sixth Annual Decks project by Rick Davidson
I agree that this deck is coming together quite nicely... as a Paul said, we are in good hands with Rick!
Also, no need to mute the green backs...just make them FOIL!

Very nice deck so far. I agree with the others about the green.

Re: UC2018 Sixth Annual Decks project by Rick Davidson
Personally, I think the green on the tuck render is a good shade, just needs some dark/black elements to give it some more depth.

Re: UC2018 Sixth Annual Decks project by Rick Davidson
I am in. But, I am more IN with foil backs of any shade you want. The art so far for Queen of hearts, number cards and Ace of Spades is great.
Yeah, we are in good hands with Rick. The tuck rocks.

The QoH reminds me so much of Mr. Zorg without cigarette. Are my hopes for a Fifth Element movie deck coming true Rick?

Re: UC2018 Sixth Annual Decks project by Rick Davidson
Hi guys, Merry Christmas!
Thanks for the great feedback, appreciated and taken on. Have been buried in this project the last few weeks. Love the Fifth Element reference Rich haha I think that might actually have been some subliminal inspiration. I tried more than once to get the rights to a Bladerunner deck. No luck.
Have been working hard to get quotes for De Novo but I don’t think it’s the best time of year, clearly be waiting until after Christmas but will keep working on the art. I’ve completed concepts for all the face cards but not happy just yet. I’ll post something soon. But here are latest concepts for the two tucks and backs. I’d also love foil backs..

Re: UC2018 Sixth Annual Decks project by Rick Davidson
I'm coming around to these. I guess the shock of the green back knocked me momentarily senseless. It still doesn't look right if you ask me, but maybe I'm just remembering the Edgy Bros UC green deck last year - which was fantastic - too fondly. Gotta hand it to you tho Rick, that green tuck looks amazing! To be fair you sold me a pair the moment I found out you were involved.

Re: UC2018 Sixth Annual Decks project by Rick Davidson
The darker green back looks much better than before. It must be tough picking a green since the UC banner is a fade from a darker to lighter green top to bottom.

Re: UC2018 Sixth Annual Decks project by Rick Davidson
Looking great, Rick!
As he noted, we decided to skip the holidays and we will be announcing more soo. I think it's a good decision. Several decent decks either didn't fund or barely squeezed by over the past month. Holidays just aren't a good time to crowd fund.

I prefer the darker green, too.

Re: UC2018 Sixth Annual Decks project by Rick Davidson
Hi everyone, hope your year has started well
Ok first look at the initial concepts for the court cards for De Novo. These sets are for the two decks - the green Viridi deck featuring full colour art, the red/gold Aurum deck featuring a more traditional variation in metallic inks. Each of the suits represent different factions in a future world... Happy to hear your thoughts!

Re: UC2018 Sixth Annual Decks project by Rick Davidson
I'm not a fan of each suit representing a different faction in future world. You need to create the story for each suit and hopefully have some "key card" or note on what each suit is. Maybe tweak the background so each faction has similar design instead of the one design across all four suits. And neither has the UC green coloring that I'd expect from one of the decks or is that up to the designer?
Green deck coloring looks great and like the Club. Red deck looks so bland in comparison.
Sorry for my harsh opinions.

Re: UC2018 Sixth Annual Decks project by Rick Davidson
This is looking fantastic! Really well done so far!
I would suggest some minor things, the KoS (green deck) looks too "real" when compared with the other courts you posted. Also the symbol in the KoS hat looks like a Club, this can be confusing!! As mentinoned by RichK, a different background for each suit would also be great. Other than that it is looking awesome (both versions).
Can't wait to see more courts!!

Two standard decks, one "UC green" (the colorful one) and one red-ish tones (more standard, but of course not really).Smocito wrote:The cards are looking great.

I don't want to steal any of Rick's thunder, but there's a mystery involved with these decks. They not only tell a (future) story, they have cryptic clues to solve a puzzle (mystery?).
"All in due time"... Beyond the two standard decks which as usual are not just recolors (either back and/or tuck) - I don't like that - (they are significantly different) - there is almost certainly going to be at least one if not a pair of "ultra limited edition" decks just as we have done in the past, but the specifics of that are not nailed down yet, although I have my ears to the ground and I'm really certain that you're going to like them, whether they be typical laser-cuts like we have done the previous two years - or they are something a bit more exotic, which is what Rick is leaning towards: hand made, custom and bea-u-tiful, as all of his decks are.
I think we're truly in for a treat this year, folks! As I am prone to say: "Coming soon to a Kickstarter near you!" and at this point, pretty darned soon!
