Military Pinup Playing Cards by Sviatoslav Pashchuk
Hi guys, today I want to show you one and first deck of our new military series of decks.
Little story about art:
This concept of deck was created by Ukrainian artist - Sviatoslav Pashchuk https://www.facebook.com/sviatoslav.pashchuk
Idea for deck of cards born some time ago when Sviatoslav finished few of his drawings of Pinup military girls.
Pinup art is his passion and after russian invasion to Easten part of Ukraine in 2014 he have made few posters with pinup military girls to boost morale of Ukrainian soldiers.
Those posters got nice feedback and he continued his work on hot military girls. Some girls are real models (even not models but average persons) and some are born in Sviatoslav's imagination.
Interesting fact - After Ukrainain soldiers got new batch of posters, one soldier liked girl from poster... And guess what?.. Yep, they met and married...
After some time of creating we got nice series of posters with military pinup girls, where each girl is related to different divisions of Ukrainian army.
Maybe you have seen Sviatoslav's 2016 calendar on kickstarter https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/20 ... endar-2016
Let's go closer to cards. We decided to produce deck of cards featuring these pinup girls. And now we want to hear your feedback, because we orient on one-way courts. Why?.. Doing this deck two-way will eliminate most of details of artwork... Here is only rough draft of cards that we are designing. We will keep you informed about all changes.
Few links with more information about artwork:

Re: Military Pinup Playing Cards by Sviatoslav Pashchuk
I like it! Also likeing this deck!
I hope that there is some blue and yellow used in the back design. Maybe you could use foil in those colors as in mark of this being an important, patriotic deck? You know, a statement of sorts, going an extra mile for a deck that stands to something important.
Getting one of these when they are available.

Re: Military Pinup Playing Cards by Sviatoslav Pashchuk
I think the background upgrade is too fancy looking with what looks like a crown on top/bottom and such intricate line work. You want the girls to stand out and to me they get lost in this particular background. That "green" seems to match the Military Pinup Girls "banner" behind the girl causing a color connection of background to banner which you don't want.
It does need some simple and subtle background, more than the first pictures of a "dirty" card coloring though.
Still love the concept though.

Noir, I would not run the designs right to the edge of the cards, the queen of hearts rifle is on the edge. Card players will moan that this might reveal your hand to someone else.
Really looking forward to this deck, I keep checking back every so often, do you have a rough release date?

Re: Military Pinup Playing Cards by Sviatoslav Pashchuk
Mike, thank you for help.
Last weeks we are working hard on upgrades of our upcoming deck.
1. We got idea to change standard suits on numbered cards to ammo. What do you think about this?.. 2. Back of cards took lot of time and discussions. It was very difficult to combine both ideas "Military" and "Pinup" on back. Here is just one variation of back and how it was upgraded during last weeks and days... 3. Finally we got 2 full-bleed backs and now we want to ask you. Which one you like better, golden color on middle or silver?.. All suggestions and ideas are appreciated.

Re: Military Pinup Playing Cards by Sviatoslav Pashchuk
Gold for me, but that is just a personal preference on almost all Gold or Silver decks.
Gold foil as a stretch goal? Please? Pretty please?

Re: Military Pinup Playing Cards by Sviatoslav Pashchuk
only have input for 3. 100% gold because it brings out? the wording better compared to silver where it sort of just blends in with everything (including the word)?

Re: Military Pinup Playing Cards by Sviatoslav Pashchuk
For the pips, if you use ammo, I assume that you will be using different ammo for each suit...which ever you use (standard or ammo pips), I suggest you make it two way.
As for the backs, I hate to be so blunt, but BORING...such awesome courts, you can definitely do much better with the backs!

Re: Military Pinup Playing Cards by Sviatoslav Pashchuk
I agree with Sherm about the backs. None of those are that special. I understand that you want a marriage of the two themes but even though they go very well together in this deck, they are two very different themes. So I say just pick one and go for it with the backs. Those skulls are cool- do something with them maybe. With the sexy ladies on the courts I don't think the theme would be lost if you just made a bad-ass military-themed back. Also, I personally like the two way ladies and regular pips.

Re: Military Pinup Playing Cards by Sviatoslav Pashchuk
I still think the fancy background lines, crown, and flowers are unnecessary. Too busy and similar in color to your banner color.
Ammo nice idea but like shermjack said make them two way and different for each suit. Can you scrap the whole center circle and put a small ammo under the standard pip so each suit has identifying ammo? I don't know why the number cards need to say Military Pinup Playing Cards.
I agree also with shermjack that all the backs are boring. That's where the Military Pinup Playing Cards banner belongs. What about a soldier holding the Pinup poster on an angle so you can have them full bodied side by side mirrored, put the banner at their waist? Badly drawn example attached with Ukraine flag added needing dividing line.
You have great courts, numbers/letters, standard corner pips, and hopefully two way ammo for each suit. Keep the faces simple.

Re: Military Pinup Playing Cards by Sviatoslav Pashchuk
After lots of revisions and ideas we came up with few versions of cards:
1. Uncaged cards 2. Caged cards, black border 3. Caged cards, white border a) "standard" pips on numbered cards b) ammo instead of pips on numbered cards
Now we want to hear your opinions and suggestions regarding this deck. Hope you enjoy it.

Re: Military Pinup Playing Cards by Sviatoslav Pashchuk
I like 3 with the ammo for pips.
Can you clean up the background? Why do you have green banners with no text? Remove them. The girls are lost in all the background stuff. Just try the AoS background for all of option 3 cards. And the back on option 3 needs something. It's a nice start but not sure what's missing.
I loved in the video how the soldiers were holding the pinup posters. You need to incorporate that if possible.

Re: Military Pinup Playing Cards by Sviatoslav Pashchuk
I'm not a huge fan of the bullet pips but I like the AoS in #3. I would enlarge the center pip though- make that ace stand out! I would also like to meet your models.

Re: Military Pinup Playing Cards by Sviatoslav Pashchuk
Also do not like bullet pips. Like 1 with 3s ace design I don't think squeezing the ace pips between two banners looks good, let the pip free!
