sorry if I am quite silent lately, but I read and follow the threads when I can... at the moment i am quite taken with the job and the gemini project, which is proceeding slowly.
With that being said, I wanted to let you know that I started a new project and I have no deadlines, as always XD
I named it The House of the Rising Spade, a long name that makes you wonder.
Of course it resembles the title of song by The Animal - The house of the rising sun (1964), even though the theme is different.
There won't be a depicted house. You decide how the house look, where it is located and in what period through time.. I will help depicting it in your mind with the style of the deck, and of course the court cards.
You make your own story, you will use the imagination and depict this house in your mind.

I hope it makes sense.
Here is the first semi-approved sketch of the tuckbox front.
I am sketching the courts as well and I made my mind about the pips and the back. Soon more pictures.
I hope you like the start and the concept

thanx!
