https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/chriscards/chris-cards-glow-covered-circles https://www.kicktraq.com/projects/chriscards/chris-cards-glow-covered-circles/minichart.png My first ever cardistry deck design! Covered Circles plays with minimalism, shapes and bold bright colors. I tried to design t...

This is looking really good! I love the way it came out.

Looking good. I really like the black fathers in contrast to the red flowy robes.

Hey everyone, I, unfortunately, had to take a bit of a break. Now I am back and happy to continue working on this deck. The break was good for me and helped me look at the design with a fresh eye. I also printed a prototype version of the king of clubs and the back design which helped me even more. ...

@Kenney I really enjoy this design and I love the flipbook effect. How are things going? Are you still working on the deck?

Hey everyone. I am super busy with my day job right now, but I am still working on the Temple of Eternity. After the last feedback, I continued to improve the back design and also tried around with a few approaches. (Not all of them are finished, but I think the idea comes across.) I would love to g...

It's perfectly fine, don't worry. The snake represents the Ouroboros. Which is an ancient symbol depicting a serpent or dragon eating its own tail. It actually comes from ancient Egypt and then made its way into western tradition. The Ouroboros is often interpreted as a symbol for eternal cyclic ren...

That's a sharp looking king. The only thing I wonder about is the little bit of white under the beard & hair. On the one hand it makes the head look less "pasted on." On the other hand, it kind'a looks like you forgot to color it in. It is nice to see a comparison to see all the micro...

This is just a little first look at what I am doing with the court cards right now. It is important to me that the cards are playable, but also have a custom touch to them. To achieve that I am combining the classic Arrco courts with some inspirations from the Italien Dal Negro Piemontesi courts. I ...

I see your point, and I already agreed with you, which is why I removed the thick side frames. The top and bottom frames, however, are another matter as they are supposed to symbolize entablatures above the columns of a Roman temple. Or a later Italian building inspired by it. Another connection for...

More harmony is actually one of my top priorities going forward. The temple should stand out but not be too incoherent. Thank you very much for your feedback, I really appreciate it. The design has already improved extremely through feedback. I love working with feedback and not having to guess if p...

I've now switched to Illustrator to vectorize everything and improve the concept. There are still a lot of details that need to be improved, but I am slowly but surely making progress. Here is another work in progress image:

We are making progress, but I don't think we reached my vision yet. What do you think about the direction? Is it a good idea to keep perfecting this concept?

We are currently trying to take away the comic look and achieve a more playing card feel. Here are some very rough cut together concepts:

Hey, I collaborated with an artist to bring my vision to life in a more dynamic and artistic way.
This is the first draft that he did. (It is not the final artwork.)
What do you think about it?

Thanks for the feedback. Good points. I will try around with all your suggestions. I've been struggling with the outer frame for a while. I like the elements at the top and bottom because they come from the Temple of Eternity decoration, but maybe I should put something else in the middle to reduce ...

Hey everyone, since the first Temple of Eternity campaign failed last year I have been experimenting with different designs and I think I finally found something that makes me happy. In my deep dive into the topic I came across the Temple of Eternity in the "Parco dei Mostri" in Italy and ...

I agree with the design being basic and, frankly, boring. Also, I'm not sure your theme is fully coming through. Thanks for the feedback, I can guarantee you that I definitely had the theme in mind while designing it, but maybe it didn’t come through as much as I hoped. I probably focused to much o...

The design is way too basic for the asking price. The design is what I would expect from USPCC Bicycle decks from 5 years ago with their usual JAB (Joker, Ace, Back) jobs. Even 2 years ago, USPCC has upped their game and put in some great theme decks for only $5. Back is too bland, only very slight...
