I love seeing the progress on this.

I hate that I'll never have this deck in my hands.

I just found this thread and am looking at your work. I like it. I think it is different enough to make a go at it. If nothing else, when you get it finished, get some estimates and make a try to fund through Kickstarter. A lot worse decks get funded there. You might think about some more customized pips you can repeat throughout. However, you have a very distinctive style, so I don't want you to mess that up. I am going to have to look up this show. When I first read the header, I was thinking Star Wars and was a bit confused until I read more. :)

Thanks for the kind words! When the time comes, I will definitely want to research how to turn the artwork into an actual deck.

Here's another number card (their school teacher, before and after Star accidentally turned her into a troll):

Thanks!

The show is sort of like as if someone crossed Dr. Suess with Game of Thrones. Only, the Game of Thrones aspect isn't immediately apparent--the show looks like harmless silliness until the main plot kicks in ... so that when the heavy stuff goes down, it is all the more shocking.

I completely forgot I used to post my cards here! I found the number cards a dead end in the style I was using ... gave it up for a while ... then returned to it.

I've been doing lots of new cards using a totally different number card style - a semi-transformation type deck.

Example: nine of clubs:

Thanks! I got discouraged because I wasn't having any fun drawing the number cards - it took me a while to realize this was because I was using a format I didn't really enjoy. I scrapped that and went with a totally different format, and now I'm nearly done the whole deck! It was more work, as each number card = a whole new art work, but it was worth it because drawing them was a lot more fun.

I'll post them here when I get a chance - have to run now.

Almost forgot about these, and i'm happy to see that this is still in progress. :)
And now making this a semi-transformation deck makes it even more awesome. Image

Thanks!

The funny part is I started this before I learned what a semi-transformation deck even was. I was very happy to learn there was a term for it.

I guess I'll start with Diamonds. Please let me know what you think (yes, sometimes I put more than the requisite number of symbols in if I thought it might be fun ...):

There isn't a single one of these that I don't like! For some reason, I think I like the 2 best.

If this were done with cold foil in the fronts like you have that metallic ink/paint? they would be fabulous.

They need an equally amazing back and tuck design as well.

I just noticed the pips and indices being alternate color for the one in the other side of the card and the extra bits around the court pip. Wow!

I mean, these are no rectangle with a dot in them, but wow!

Very beautiful paintings. Can't wait to see the final product, even if it may take a while. Nice to see somebody working non-digital on a card design.

The Spades. Note: I may make some changes ... in particular, I may wish to replace the 10, as it is somewhat similar to the king.

The theme of the Spades is "Monsters" (the theme of the Diamonds was "Mewmen"; the theme of the Hearts is "Earth" and the theme of the Clubs is "the Multiverse")

I suggest you watch some youtube videos about the different stocks/finishes/printing companies. Maybe read some posts in the general playing card section about people's opinions on printers.
Also, i'm sure you can ask someone from Cartamundi or USPCC to help you out.

Cartamundi has an awesome customer service, they are fast and very helpful. USPC in my personal experience is s**t with replying. Takes them days to answer and all you get are platitude answers. Really anoying. I prefer USPC as a printer though.
