I can agree with that. My design skills have gone to the wayside in favor of illustration. I'm thinking of sticking to "default" pip and indexes.TGunitedcardists wrote:I like the custom artwork but really don't like the font and the pip underneath.

For the red queen here, no one takes selfies with the screen facing away from them anymore. I know it makes for more interesting art than basically a black rectangle, but still.
Yeah, I think I need to work out exactly where I want those pips. I like the more subtle ones that are sort of hidden. Do you think those hidden ones will hinder its playability?Malthus1 wrote:The artwork looks amazing! I love it.
One question though: the hearts have large heart pips in the upper left of the artwork area, the spades don't have large spade pips in the upper left. Is this a deliberate design element, or are spades going to be added later? I notice that the spades have much more subtle spade motifs (the queen on the bottle and book, the jack on the hat), but this is very different from the hearts.
They are applying the lipstick and taking the picture of each other if that makes sense. So the bottom Queen is applying the liptstick to the top Queen with her left hand, while the top Queen is taking the picture of the bottom Queen with her left hand. I think the boa she is wearing over her arms is adding to the confusing of the arm placement. Could probably use a rework.rousselle wrote:There is a great deal here to like, and I really hope you continue to pursue this project.
I particularly like the subtle differences between the two illustrations on each card. This is a difficult thing to do well on a playing card court, and you seem to have an inherent understanding of how to make that work.
I will observe that there's something wrong with the hand that is holding the lipstick/cell phone (or is that a card?) on the QoH. I think it's the wrong hand on that arm. I.e., it looks like it's supposed to be her right arm, but it's a left hand holding the lipstick/cellphone. The result creates a jarring effect; your brain knows something's not quite right about it. If you could fix that, I think that card would be a lot more awesome.
Keep up the great work. Your response to feedback has been right on target. You've got this.
For myself - I like the subtle ones you have done with the spades. I like them a lot. Though I don't think it is necessarily an either-or; you could have 'em both! (just as a possible example: give the queen of hearts a diamond heart pendant; give the king of hearts a subtle heart pattern on the straps of camera and apron; that sort of thing). I try to work little visual Easter Eggs like that into the deck I'm working on (the Star vs the Forces of Evil set). I admit I also use large card pips.lindseyswop wrote:Yeah, I think I need to work out exactly where I want those pips. I like the more subtle ones that are sort of hidden.

Very nice, Lindsey. Sorry I didn't catch this earlier but I will add you to the Deck Artist group. Enjoy!lindseyswop wrote:Image for clarity. The orange sketch is the arm placement under the sea foam boa. But I suppose if it has to be explained like this, it isn't working, and it needs to be reexamined. I will work on manipulating the boa more to show more arm and make it all more clear. Thanks a lot, guys!
