Re: High Flyers Playing Cards by Squiddle Ink

Bird Deck! Always fun to see these! I see some of those birds that come down under here. I like how the birds themselves have come out, as well as trying to mix their plumage colouration and trying to make it as uniform as possible. The only thing that does get me is, well, unless I'm missing someth...

Re: FANG Vampire Cards by Night Town

Interesting idea to have one-way and two-way variations on this. Like the gold version of that back. The art itself goes alright, with more preference to the two-ways. I wish there was a little more going on with the background of the courts. Aside from the clubs that have a clear theme of fire goin...

Re: Unity Frankendeck by DripDrop Sounds and ShuffleCut 52

Well, if Vol 1 was the All Stars, does that make Vol 2 the Rising Stars... somewhat? I'm all for more artists. It's good to see new talent come in to see what they can do. As noted, it will be a tough act to follow, given how big the names were and given the sheer scope of the project, as well as th...

Re: Jokker Cards by Displaay

I don't think that queen works quite as well when flipped the other way (the cat in this case). Got to love a bit of classical caricatures. Shame it's only the four, since it's repeating courts. Although, this deck was meant to be displaying a font type? Well, does explain the written out Aces, but ...

Re: MUERTOS Playing Cards (NEW ART)

What's that they said about a good flag? So simple even a child can draw it? I didn't think we were talking about flags. But yes, quite timely that we're looking at this DOTD deck (between the F1 and now, there has been a lot of Mexican flavour recently). The style I think works well, and hey, diffe...

Re: 52+ Joker 2024 Club Deck by Elettra Deganello

A shoutout to a classic design. Have to admit this has come out quite beautifully. Nice appealing colours, subtle touches here and there. Courts look fantastic there, especially the faces. Everyone's already raving about these, these have come out fantastically well. Classics being brought into the ...

Re: Rick Davidson - Wishers

I tell you what, I do like how the queens came out in this one. They're the highlight of the offering here. The Ace of Spades and Joker, not quite there... I think if that Oversized Pip was done differently, it would go well. Jokers feel a bit flat. I do like how things just seem more... crisp there...

Re: King’s Head Playing Cards by Joker and the Thief

The tuckbox does look nice, but then to just get a monocolour of it for the cards themselves? That is a bit of a tease. Early 1900s vintage, hey... Hmm, I wish that Ace was a little more ornate, just like how they presented it in the top row there. Not really feeling the monocolour standard courts. ...

Re: Quack Deck: Duck-Themed Poker Cards by Devina Hung

Now wait just a moment... the Aces are all unique, yet the courts repeat aside from the suit? It's also hard to tell if the pip cards are unique, or if it is a case of pip replacement. I want to say it's likely just the same images, but with the pips replaced, but that would be speculating. The duck...

Re: Odds and Ends

I believe it was meant to be striking, since larrup is along the lines of striking (well, more thrashing), but here we ended up with that.

Re: How to Create Your Own Deck of Playing Cards: A Complete Guide

Seconded. There are new faces out there, some familiar faces have changed their requirements and standards, and I'm sure there has been interesting trends and developments going on.

Would be nice to get an update, but still a great starting point.
