wow, this looks interesting - are you planning to have each of the courts represent a different mythology??

Can't wait to see more! :)

The 3 arms look odd at first but work after my mind focuses on "there are 2 Kings" it looks great.
Move on, nothing to see here.

Sunish - I really like what I see and am definitely interested in seeing more.

The only thing is - am I the only one who is getting a bit of a Luminosity vibe here?

No, I thought the same thing but I like the luminosity deck and i like Norse/Viking themes. So I'm not saying anything that could alter that lol.

Interesting to note the comparison with Luminosity. This character is from the Finnish epic Kalevala and there are, indeed, characters from Norse in the deck but then you will have from others like Greek, Slavic, Egyptian, African, Chinese, Hindu, Native American and Islamic mythologies as well ;)

I do like the style. It will be interesting to see all of them combined in one deck. This one looks pretty amazing so I cant wait to see the rest and how they combine into the tuck design.

You are 100% right...

And you know what, apart from Guru Playing Card Company, the other name in consideration was Art Of Many Styles years ago....

wow, that is some major talent! :o definitely fitting of the description "Art Of Many Styles" as he apparently can do it all lol - super impressive! And because of his artistic versatility, it makes every Guru deck feel totally new and fresh - honestly, hadn't I known, I would've guessed that each was designed by a different artist :ugthink: :) But that also makes every project exciting and unpredictable - can't wait to see more of this deck and what else y'all have planned in the future! :ucstar: :ucstar: :ucstar: :ucstar: :ucstar:

I got this in front of USPC and they okayed it. So, I think it is okay for sure as you'd know USPC could ask you to change it if they find anything objectionable. :lol:

I really like it. Perhaps it is just me, but it kind of looks like the portion of his hand between the wrist and his knuckles/fingers into long? Like a werewolf hand or something?
