As promised, the Jack of Spades. I choose not to give him an ax or saw or rope. Just a smug look! :) https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5605/15574727477_76430da050_o.png Here are all the Jacks together. **Take this loosely** if you have cards laying around next to you, hold on up and you'll see that the...

Sorry I haven't been as active as I like to be on here, but work got a little busy. Good news is, I 've been working on the Lumberjacks again! I have a new Jack of Spades coming (doing final tweaks and details) I'll post him up soon. As I've been working on that I've also been looking at the Suicide...

Got a little tied up at work these past few days and couldn't do more work on the Lumberjacks I'll have new cards ready soon!

Okay, so I gave her some gloves and a long sleeve shirt that's been rolled up. I think this helped her out a bunch. https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5601/15423498787_84ff9e7da8_o.png Here are all the queens together with the corners cut to better illustrate what the cards will really look like. AND if...

Worked on the Queen of Spades these past two days. She still needs a few modifications (I think that left hand is too big) but overall, she's about done. https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5609/14982338824_32ff1f635f_o.png Haha, it may be too much (the tank top) and not lumberjack accurate, but for now,...

I like the art style you are going with here. This deck is loosing some of the whimsy that the first deck had though. Because of this I think it may be harder to fund. It now goes even more into a niche market. IMO I have one request... Could you not make it a black deck? Try some of the pictures w...

Finished up the King of Diamonds:

Thanks! I'll have the King of Diamonds ready next. I'd love some more comments / suggestions.

I did some modifying to the Jack of Diamonds. Flipped him to face the other way and to use up some white space I changed the knot from the fisherman's knot to an alpine butterfly knot. Butterfly knots are used by climbers. Earlier lumberjacks (maybe even current lumberjacks) used to climb trees to t...

Here's the Jack of Diamonds: https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3933/15311986967_bfcd8835d7_o.png The original idea was to have a rope go around him, similar to what you see now minus the knot. But I was told it was too plain. It was recommended to me to add a knot, so I added a fisherman's knot connect...

@kleetz - On the QoH, the tree trunk is too big. I need to see at least one boob or a hint of a boob. :D Modified the QoH. I didn't like her neck area (or lack there of). Also added some cleavage in there, hope this pleases you sprouts! ;) https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3941/15477337131_c47102637f_...

Haha, I'll try to work something in!

I worked up a new Queen of Hearts! Here's what I have planned for the Queens: Queen of Hearts - Tree hugger (nature activist) Queen of Diamonds - Helper (carrying wood) going to reuse the old Queen of Hearts for her Queen of Spades - Logger (only queen with an ax) Queen of Clubs - Helper (carrying w...

I reworked the King of Hearts again! I'm torn between the "slicing" and the latest one. Here are all 4 versions for comparison:


What do you guys think?

Got the Queen of Hearts knocked out today. Here she is!



C&C welcomed!

Thanks Levereno! I'm leaning towards that one. It needs some tweaks to the arms. But overall, it's almost there.

I took the liberty of making another King of Hearts. This time trying to play up more on the "suicide" history of the card.

Left = second version
Right = first version



Thoughts?

Thanks Magik, I will make the tweaks!

King of Hearts y'all!

Just backed this, saw it kinda late, but I have to ask... how the hell is this deck not funded yet or over 100K. It blows my mind. The artwork on this is simply amazing. I stare at it and constantly find new things.

Well done Emmanuel! Hope it happens.

Working backwards on the Hearts. Here's the Jack of Hearts:

Tweaked the Queens log. Plus what the family looks like.

Worked on the Jack of Clubs yesterday. Here's a progress shot: Very far from done, but getting there! Still needs a face and detail shading. https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3875/15139347402_f2d5481ce6.jpg Here's the 99% finished version: https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5559/15031937939_ceafc19e36_o.png

Nice work! Thanks! I'm not sold on the log for the queen, I would much rather see her hold her own tool, or maybe even a cup of mulled wine (what do lumberjacks drink out in the forests ?) Hmm, interesting. I'd have to play around with it. I'll see if I can work something out. Thanks for the sugges...

Added more detail to the queen and tweaked the king a bit.



Thoughts?

The queen looks quite nice, but I don't understand how she fits with the theme... She's not done, she will have with her something to tie her in. You'll see! The cards look very nice, I'm sure you are not done with the queen and she will definitely be holding some tool of sorts. Currently she looks...

Worked on the Queen of Clubs for a little bit. She's far from done but I wanted to post progress. I also added new details to the King and I'm introducing a new wood grain pattern that I plan to use everywhere.



Thoughts?

These are really really cool! Wasn't a fan of the gradients used and love that you took them out. Coloring is spot on. Well done!

I love the look, the colours are bold and it really draws you in. One tiny thing, dont lumberjacks typically hold the sharpened edge on the inside ? I could be totally wrong on this, Thanks! I'm not really sure what you mean. Are you referring to the highlight on the blade? If so, there will probab...

Hey guys! A while ago I wanted to do a second edition for my Lumberjack cards, I got as far as drawing some concepts up but then got really busy at work and had to put everything off. Recently though, I've had some extra time and decided to breathe some life back into the project. I finished all of ...
