hello there

Unread post by Pyramid.ink »

Hi there,
I have been recommended this forum and went through some threads already, which have been very enlightening!

I am an artist working with print since a few years now, based in France (more specifically the east of the country). My work is mainly build around mythologies, storytelling, structures...
I have been wanting to design a playing card set for a long time now, and thanks to a regional fund, I have been able to start working seriously on this project, which is approaching the dreaded precommands+fabrication part.
The set i have been working on tries to synthetize different kind of decks, for example by trying to find equivalencies between french and mediterranean suits.
The goal now is to run a test print, and if i really wanted to stay local and go through cartamundi, their minimal volumes are insane and i'll probably end going through WJPC who have quite a lot of options and good feedbacks.
Would you like to see some previews of the cards? It would be a pleasure to discuss them

See you around!

The gif worked for me. I like what you did with the joker.

Welcome to UC.
You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that’s being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world.

To keep up with the discussion, should I make a specific thread in the section about custom decks to present the project or just keep updating here?

If this is a deck that you are currently developing, I recommend moving the previews to the "Drafting Board" section, where people look for works-in-progress and may even offer a constructive suggestion or two. Once your deck is ready to make it's production run debut (or Kickstarter project, or the like), THEN is a great time to move the discussion to the New and Custom Decks section.
