Devastation by Jody Eklund

[volantangel]

With all innovation comes devastation, the sequel of the innovations deck is upon us. Excellent work by Jody once again, tentatively set for 1st September on Kickstarter. More images to come, jody should drop by some time !

[jerichoholic]

Looking good so far.

[jodyeklund]

Hello everyone! Thanks Volantangel for posting the pics. Devastation is coming soon and more pics will follow. This time around I am looking to make the artwork more elegant and symbolic in nature. Please give me your feedback as it always helps me get the project off and running before a new Kickstarter.

Given the timing of the announcement I can't help picturing the AoC as a [very] stylised mushroom cloud...

I hope there a cool limited edition collector's box like Innovation.

[jodyeklund]

As promised, here is another picture for my upcoming Kickstarter project. Let me know what you think.

oh jesus... goodbye wallet

Is that foil or metallic inks?

[Skyvora]

These are dope love the colors. Is that matte black on the tuck box?

[ecNate]

I knew I would be in on this one based on theme and your past work alone, but these images, especially the card back seals the deal!

[jsantafe]

Really beautiful.

It's weird how trendy black with red foil backs are currently!

I am working on a single deck limited LEATHER case. I'm also looking into doing Red foil on the back of the cards for the KS exclusive deck.

Kickstarter Exclusive Devastation Deck. This will be the limited edition deck, only it won't be numbered, but will just be a Kickstarter Exclusive. I will have something special for an ultra limited edition and have them numbered. The idea of this deck was to create something much more elegant and timeless.

Introducing the Devastation Signature Series Leather Case. Only 500 cases will be made and 450 will be sold on Kickstarter. The signature series will also come with an extra signature card. I will be making a special numbered stamp seal that will only be on the Limited deck and will be numbered up to 500. This should be a very nice collector's item.

[vasta41]

Sa-weet! What time is this launching?

[jodyeklund]

I am not quite sure yet of the exact time. It will probably be sometime around 11:00am Mountain Standard Time (It is currently 3pm where I am at, so you can figure out when

Similar to the neat Will Rogers Case, but Better .... !

Jodyeklund - I like your red berry splashes. What would you call it? Your AoS has a lot of Red in it. I like it when ppl break the rules. Usually, the spade is 50% or more black.

Your faces seem a bit to rounded... Overall, so far this is a playable deck.

sprouts1115 -- The "red berry splashes" is more of a blood staining. I didn't know there was a rule for the amount of black verses any other color actually. I always figure that the black suites and the red suits just need to be recognizable and I think the Ace of Spades has to be unique from all of the other face cards. Can you explain what you meant by the "faces seem a bit too rounded"? And, what would make this unplayable?

The Devastation Playing cards are set to launch tomorrow. The time is set for 10am MDT, 8am Eastern.

Here is the Kickstarter Page link. Please give me your feedback before I launch tomorrow in order for me to consider any changes that will need to be made. Thanks for your time and feedback ahead of time!

While the leather case is beautiful I'm not much of an add-on guy so I just went with the 2 decks. But I can't wait for these! Actually I can't wait for the Innovation ones first...

[Cbkimble]

I feel the same way Vasta. I got into collecting cards for the artwork and have really gotten into collecting uncuts. Unfortunately, they're about twice the price of the deck, sometimes more, but it gives a way to show off and see the artwork without opening the decks. I'm in for the 2 decks plus uncut for now. As much as I enjoy a LE, I understand for some collector's standard is all they want and need, I would rather see just one deck with all the bells and whistles than a basic deck and another with all the extras. Several artists are now doing this and I applaud them.

Decks look real cool, picked up the 2 decks with the case, not the biggest fan of the case, looks cool but I just want the decks, you get the more limited deck so I picked it up

Totally agree, but I had jumped on EB initially. Can't justify that added cost for a case I don't care about, a sig card & numbered is neat, but not $18 neat. So....

If anybody wants in on sold out Signature Series (Early Bird - $48) tier, one will be freed up at 6pm Eastern as I'll be moving to the $30 tier. Just a friendly heads up for the group here.

Still looking forward to the deck and the tuck/back is especially 'nifty'.
