bump

Wasn't sure where else to post this. I will be in Vegas for a job in a few weeks and was wondering if anyone knows of a good shop for card collectors??? I have searched online and haven't seen anything really special. Maybe a pawn shop that specializes or at least has a good selection. Any thoughts?...

I'm in for 2 decks. Good luck.

Revised 666 of Clubs. I agree the colored versions ones were just too much.

Thanks everyone so much for your insightful comments and your kind words. Here are 3 of the 4 aces... still might be tweaked some... but it's where I'm headed with them. In all of my decks (As with my first deck "Vellichor") I will have a "666 of Clubs" ... the only numbered card...

Here's a new pip layout... I think I like it better.

Queen of D with Border

Different take on the Ace of D

Personally, I'm liking what you're doing with the diamonds layout. So are you back to comic book style courts? Don't play with my feelings like that. :lol: If you're back to that style, I really liked the starry background. You could do variations of moon surfaces or alien planets in the background...

Thanks for all the comments guys. Really helpful. I know the stripes on the Q of H isn't right... just have to wait til it comes to me... a utility belt of some kind might be the way to go. Here's a bunch of diamonds to give you a feel for the number cards and 2 aces. I'm also thinking of doing bord...

The queen of hearts is finally taking shape.... still messing with the colors around her waist... I think the horizontal striping is a bit much but I'm tired as hell.

Thanks @ BlueToy for the stripes between colors suggestion.

On the topic of women though, personally I don't want to see an all woman deck. I I assure you there will be 4 women in this deck (queens) The rest will be men aliens and robots. The aces will all have a silhouette (unless I change my mind or it just doesn't work) but 2 will be female and 2 will be...

volantangel wrote:I was all for the coloured comic version as well. The new AoC just doesn't do it for me, why the women on the cards?

The women on the cards have spherical space helmets on like the silhouette in the A of D above... I just turned that layer off somehow.

I agree with you guys. I have gone and created 2 decks with a clearly different vision but the same theme. I believe they will be different enough that both are worth making. That being said, I'm not sure which I'll push on first... looks like the comic theme is the overall favorite. This is where I...

I've decided to go a totally different direction with this deck. Still the same thing, but I just wasn't digging on the bright colors. I'm really liking these pips and the new look. Are you?? Not sure where this will lead, but I will show you some reworked court cards soon. http://i.imgur.com/cmRZ9A...

Thought I would add a link in this thread for those who are subscribed to the "VELLICHOR REDUX" thread.

Coming October 2015

I actually think that's a great idea. Will do.

I've decided I won't be able to figure out the best look until I get a few more cards made. Working on the Queen of H at the moment.

Sweet. I have an uncut of the original JAQK deck... but not a deck as they are being sold at ludicrous prices. I had a feeling this day would come... re-release this deck and save me $75.

I learned quite a few things from the last tuck. This tuck-box will have a lot more convincing "old book" feel than the last.

They will be printed by Gamblers Warehouse. 200 deck initial run... could do another just depends.

Yes, these will be available on my website. No kickstarter.

Hello all, I have partnered with Gamblers Warehouse to bring you "Vellichor Redux". This is not a simple reprinting in any way. Each and every card has been changed to make this the PLAYABLE version you guys have been asking for... with new jokers, new back design and new tuck as well .......

I'm in for 2 decks and I hope you make it... best of luck.

As for the backs being too similar to the ICONS deck I totally disagree. Yes there are similarities, but they are minimal.

Here is colored and sepia version with a better starfield background... the other was temp. In order for the suit indicators to read well the red in the indices needs to be brighter... normally I'm more into the muted reds but I think in a comic book setting it's ok to go super saturated. I'm still ...

I am testing out a new deck... ( I am currently working on 4 decks at the moment, waiting for one to feel right) This one would all be based on Sci-Fi comic books from the 50's. Please give me your thoughts on the bright comic book look vs. the pseudo sepia toning. I can see the browns being really ...

Officially SOLD OUT
Thanks so much to everyone who snagged a deck.

I have a co-venture with Gambler's Warehouse that I will be announcing shortly in a new thread. Stay tuned.

Uncut sheets of Vellichor have been cancelled. Not enough people to make it cost effective.

Sorry guys.

Ummmm.. is it just me or is that seriously COMIC SANS on the tuck???

Never ever ever ever ever use COMIC SANS as a font for anything in the history of all time. This is the exception to never say never.

For those awaiting the pricing on the uncut sheets I will send out an email to all of you by the end of next week.

Thanks,
Mat
