I personally like this one! The only critique I have is the full bleed arms. I'm not quite sure how to fix this except maybe rotating the hands so they reach out of the arc rather than from the cards edge? But I think you're on to something with that back. Ok cool thanks! I put the hand like that s...

Hi,

Here's another back design I've been working on. Is this more on the right track?

Kickstarter is a tough game so don't let a couple bumps in the road stop you. That being said I wanted to reference the Rarebit deck before you launched. https://store.theory11.com/products/rarebit-copper-edition-playing-cards You're going to get a lot of comparisons which are going to slow/stop gr...

Hi, some of you may remember Contours from a Kickstarter campaign a couple of years ago. It failed to reach its goal twice, so thought I would give it one last try to get this deck made and see what happens. I have updated the design with some major and a lot of minor changes. I was planning on putt...

If you want my advice it would be this: It is unusual for detailed b/w linework to improve on printing at playing card size compared to how it looks on the screen. If you have tried it then fair enough, but I would expect the opposite. And most of your linework seems very detailed when viewed on th...

The court cards look much better, but still a ways to go. The eyebrows don't work on any of the court cards. It's got the mono-brow type of thing going on. The pips look much better except for the heart. The butt crack heart/upsidedown ball sack isn't the best in my opinion. The other suits are fin...

I meant that the balance of line work and empty space on the back design doesn't seem balanced. It seems too busy in the middle and blobs of empty space near the corners. The pips seem blobby and not crisp at all. Maybe it's a style you like, but not me. For example, the diamond looks like it ate a...

I'll offer feedback, but unfortunately, it's not positive. As a whole, it doesn't work. The back design seems unfinished. The linework and negative space just doesn't work. The things in the corners look annoying. The lined suits make it more difficult to read than regular pips would. The fonts are...

HI, last year I tried a kickstarter project with these cards which failed to reach it's goal. I have been working on them again for the past few weeks in the hope to put it back on kickstart again at some point this year. I have touched up the courts a bit and created a new back design but would lov...

haha probably cause I've been up all night when I was designing them, subconsciously mimicking how I was feeling:) Thanks, not sure how to promote the project through, been emailing a lot of blogs with out any luck. Any ideas on how to get more people to see it? Before creators release a project on...

KS date/time?

Hopefully will be up on Friday by 5pm (GMT), which is around midday in America

Hi there,

The CONTOURS playing cards will be on Kickstarter soon so I thought I would give you guys the heads up! Please let your friends know if you like it.

Here are a few samples

Scanning over the smaller pics the first thing that hit me was that every court card looks a bit tired - every single one seem to have bags under their eyes lol At first I didn't really like the line drawing - but the large KOS really shows off how nice the detail is so I really hope that comes thr...

Thanks for all your feedback, I really appreciate it! The drawings are great, but I have some suggestions. I don't like detailed indices, I think these would rock more with a solid fill font and a plain, opaque suit index. Size and placement are good though. I know some people like the suit indicato...

Hi, this is a deck I've been working on for a while now and just thought I would see what you guys thought.

It's still in early stages but still any feedback is welcome and much appreciated.

Thanks
