Well, I know this isn't the right spot to put this but I think TwoPiece and PipChick (and everyone else) may like this deck:

Re: "SILK" by OathPlayingCards
I think from now on anytime someone says my generation has no attention span, I will be reminded of the time that a thread by Lotrek, one of the gods in the Pantheon of Playing Cards Designers, was literally derailed down the side of the Great Internet Mountain by "Ooooh...KITTIES!"

Re: "SILK" by OathPlayingCards
I'm sure the thread will get back on track as soon as Lotrek posts some more information regarding the deck.
I'll probably create a new thread for this "Gatos Baralhados" (Shuffled Cats) deck tonight or tomorrow.

Re: "SILK" by OathPlayingCards
This is a test print I did to check a few things like the 3D effect created by the different direction of the thin lines in foil. It isn't the final design but I thought you'd like to see something to deviate the discussion from the cats.

Re: "SILK" by OathPlayingCards
Totally unrelated, but I'm like SO HAPPY to see that despite Lotrek's best efforts, there's still cats on this thread!
Doesn't he know that cats rule the internet and there's nothing any of us can do to stop them from invading & taking over his thread...

Re: "SILK" by OathPlayingCards
This is going to be my most detailed back so far in terms of line thickness (thinness I should say). I'm waiting for the final test plates for a last test before I show you more pics.

Re: "SILK" by OathPlayingCards
The complexity and beauty of the back design is what grabs me. You can impress these simpletons all you'd like with your shiny foil.* It's the combo of your artwork and materials that impresses me.Lotrek wrote:This is going to be my most detailed back so far in terms of line thickness (thinness I should say).

If the faces/courts match the amount of work you put in here, then I'll be in for this one.
