Re: Shogun Playing Cards

Hi well I think that there is disparity between your digital work and your hand drawn work. I think just having such a murky block colour background is really not lending itself to the pencil/ink quality of the drawings. Have you looked at "Sumi-e" on google images. Most traditional sumi-e...

Re: Maneki-Neko Playing Cards from Stacey Kelly

The theme is the Japanese lucky cat, so far these are ideas I have drafted on this theme.

Re: The decks that I would like to see be made

Re: The decks that I would like to see be made

I can't find the thread under Custom Drafts, but I LOVED this one design Pixel Initiative (produced Fishing for Compliments printed by Legends) made. It never made it past the drafting boards, but the design was sold to Legends. They even used some images in an email teasing it before they redesign...

Re: Christmas from Natalia Silva (Russian Folk Art) Coming s

I may be getting this totally wrong and forgive me if so. Is this the same creator as the Russian deck last year, wasn't there something strange about the shade of red when they were printed? If its the same creator will the shade of red be more like the screen colour?

Re: Fuego - KS soon

My one concern right now is what Stacey pointed out. The resemblance is uncanny. Oh you mean Steve SImpson had nothing to do with this deck... its so close to his work for the Tuzo restaraunt, may be fine though there are clear differences ... https://m1.behance.net/rendition/modules/48000553/disp/...

Re: Farbschemata - live on KS

I really love typography but I think the wording is clashing in this instance, big chunky arrangements of lettering can look really nice but nothing has its own space on the samples I can see here, the elements are positioned just so that the context disappears off the canvas. If that makes sense.

I must admit I'm loving these satanic skull courts with the strange tusk and horn action. Make me think of an artist I love called Jeremy fish.
