Hello there UC,

So here is my own custom playing cards serie. This is a 3d rendered image of the deck and cards. It's an old one but still pretty to look at and getting a general idea about what I am doing. The idea is to make more contrast decks but with different colors in a contrast way. This is something I haven't seen before and I would love to make this deck a real thing

I already got contacts with Cartamundi and have visited them as well so I know where I am dealing with. They also know about my vision. The thing is tho I am really critical about my own work, so I want you guys to tell me what I should do with it right now. And please don't get started on adding red on the red pips it's supposed to be 2 colered.

I hope you like them and wanna see more of them. I do have prototypes created already, but those are old as well. Just let me know what you think.

Kind regards,
Paul Stefan

I doubt anyone here would tell you to add red to the pips when we don't have any pics of them. Care to share some more pics of the fronts?

Was going to add them, but forgot. but here are they.

Too much black. Courts look ugly with the extra triangle pattern in the white space.

Please rethink adding red too.

1) I don't like anything about the pip placement anywhere on this deck.
2) The courts are jarring and busy.

Okey so where should I put red on the hearts and diamonds. Because I already tryed that and it doesn't fit in my opinion.

Okey so standard placement and less busy courts got it. Anything on the black and white? Also what about the tuck because I also need some feedback on those.

Is there something you guys like about this deck? If yes then what is it, could be helpful to know what shouldn't be changed.

Is this what you are looking for?
you can see the pattern on the black spots of the new court.
PS: red is added on the hearts and diamonds with black around it.

That new looks much better.
