The Alchemy deck is the continuation of my PerfectTrine idea.
My father had died and I found myself stuck at my mother's house for almost a year, just talking to her and keeping her company. At one point I found a pile of my dad's drafting supplies... Which led to me making up this design based around the concept of a philosopher's stone from Alchemy.
The pictures I have photographed here are all that's left. Most of the deck got killed off by a cup of coffee.. I wore out the actual cards that I printed at MPC so not all is Lost. I could print off the same deck again but there were so many little things I wanted to change I never bothered.
In this one picture you can see the wall over my art studio desk. I have them there because I used a lot of the designs and the color palette for my next deck of cards. And I took a couple close up pics since pictures are free.

Re: Alchemy by Kenney
Thanks, maybe someday.
I have all the line work done, I redid them with much cleaner architecture and I think I held my motifes better through the suits. The original one looked really chaotic. Simplified my color palette a bit as well...and I got distracted and started a different project at the same time.
I now have about 18 cards left on that one. Which is an animation based around the design of a handful of these. I do these in copic markers. Each one takes anywhere from 3 to 8 hours to do.... So it's like I never get done.... The perfect hobby.

Re: Alchemy by Kenney
If these do ever become fully developed, I would suggested differentiating the court cards more, at least with some sort of background treatment. Otherwise these are pretty slick.
