Dance of death

[SerKoN]

Dear forum users, the idea arose to create a deck on the theme book of the 17th century "Dance of Death." Here is the first outline of the map, express your opinion. Thank you. Work on maps based on Hans Holbein the Younger. "Dance of Death", 1524-1526 completely changed. Now the basic idea lies at the basis of the interaction between high cards.

[JacksandJokers]

WOW!
I LOVE the artwork, but I think a 2 way card would work much better. These 2 images should be on 2 different cards

[SerKoN]

Thank you for your feedback. The idea is that each card symbolizes death to its character. This is the main intention of this deck.

[vedus]

I'm fine with two characters illustrated on the same card. I don't like the hard line dividing them. I'd prefer to see it seamlessly transition from one character to the other.

[SerKoN]

Thanks, for your advice, about the hard line. We did not attach much importance to this, considering that this is an insignificant feature. Now think about it.

[rousselle]

As an example, take a look at how this project handled the same theme:



Oh, and please don't be discouraged that someone else did the same theme: your artwork has a different style, and as such, I'm sure will attract interest. Just ask the many people on this board who have added more than one Dia de las Muertos deck to their collection. Or steam punk. Or Cthulu...

[SerKoN]

Thank you very much for your feedback. As you can see, my works differ from those provided by you. I, for that, and put on public display on this forum my work, to hear the opinion of the side, more experienced people. And also get hints and tips. My goal is to go for kickstarter

[RichK]

Can you do something to link the living person to the death like have the death hold a decayed fan the living woman is holding? Or is the "dance" their holding hands?

[SerKoN]

Thanks for asking. The main task is that whatever you are and how you live death is always somewhere near. The idea was taken from the work of Holbein, where this meaning is conveyed. This is only the first outline of the map, and there is still discussion of how best to express the main idea of ​​this idea. So with pleasure I want to hear advice and sound observations on these maps.

[SerKoN]

Good afternoon, members of the forum. Here the map is finished to this state. Your opinion? We are very important to it!

[montecarlojoe]

Personally I love the one-way design.

Sure 2-way is more functional, but that's not what this deck is aiming for. THe artwork is very good, and the transition between the two halves (all too often a hard break or obscured by some object) is masterful.

I'm looking forward to seeing more!

[SerKoN]

Thank you, great for your expectations !!! Now we begin work on the waltz or the king. And what improvements on the first map.

[SerKoN]

There are a couple of questions on this card. 1) This is a bush coming from nowhere. There is an offer to give the contours of the flowerpot, so that it looks natural.

[RichK]

I don't mind that there is no pot to base the tree/flower. I think it might look odd on death's side.

Give it a try though, it might look good.

[SerKoN]

On the part of his death, I think there is no need to draw, he is as if burnt, or covered with fire.

[SerKoN]

Hello!!!

[rousselle]

Welcome back!

Are you familiar with the Moirai deck?

You should take a look at it on Kickstarter. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/we ... ying-cards Similar theme, done very well, although with a very different style.

Edit: See also, Solemn Oath: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=11890. And also, Undeath: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ka ... c?ref=card

Again, your style is different from theirs, but this should give you a sense of how others are approaching this theme. I look forward to seeing how your project evolves!

Thank you very much for the advice. I would like to start a new topic on my cards.
Since the new deck I'm working on is significantly different from the previous one.

[SerKoN]

The main idea lies in the interaction between the participants of the senior cards.

[SerKoN]

In late January, I plan to go to Kickstarter. I would be glad to have good advice on the deck and your opinions. Here is one option for the joker. Which one looks better the inscription "joker" 1,2,3,4

[SergeyDahkov]

I like the joker "3"

[SerKoN]

So will look like a joker and a jack, in the overall picture:

[SerKoN]

Thank you for choosing "3"

[Eric Lee]

I would prefer Joker 4. But then again, with the full art effect you're going for this deck, why have the joker obscure the card? Perhaps put it on the upper left corner instead?

Another recent KS project with the life and death theme: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kar ... le_created

Thank you for the recommendation. We have a joker in action, he stabs someone. For this, I left the static option.

[SerKoN]

Option peak king

[SerKoN]

Option small cards

[SerKoN]

Jack of diamonds. Dear forum users, I need your help and hints. If not hard to write please your comments. It's important to me!!! Thank!

[theCapraAegagrus]

Right now, my only feedback is that I don't like the different sized pips on the number cards.

[SerKoN]

How do you like the color of red suits?
