UnitedCardists.com - The forum for Cardistry, Magic, Custom Decks and All Things Playing Cards.

Hello!
Thank you for your interest in our project Romantic Playing Cards!
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ti ... ying-cards



The style of this unique deck is love, romance and fantasy. I hope, our deck will make your heart beat!
The novelty of this project is using the unique design and the latest printing technologies MakePlayingCards.com (MPC®).

Images, Inspiration, History

Modern playing cards are not just a rectangular paper made of high-quality double-layer cellulose board. They are a highly artistic creation of group of many people, including the artist, who put his heart into the deck.
I`ll be glad to hear your your advice and wishes.

Artwork









Thank you.

Hi Grils .... !!



I Love Grils ....




You mean Girls, Stupid ....




What about us Grils ?




(It's an oldie ....)

QoH seems to be inspired on an Anne Stokes design....

Indeed, thats wayyyy too similar

Face it. This deck was never meant to advance any philosophical boundaries ....

Lookin' good so far ....

I love Grils.

I usually I don't care about border thickness but these are just a little too thick IMO. But I otherwise love the back designs.

"inspired" is being kind. It's a blatant copy - which really makes me question where all the other images come from...

Fantasy? Sure. Love and romance? Not so much.

If you think nude, hot, imaginary girls have anything to do with love and romance, I feel sorry for you

Looks like most pics I see are blatant copies of original art... garbage and easy pass

Blatant copies of what?
Don`t be like a parrot - if one art is similar to other - This does not mean that the others are copies of originals!

These two, tell me they are done without any referencing to each other.

Yes first image is similar.
But second - you don`t know - our idea. - this project had been started about six month ago - and we want to tkae theme of elves, succubus, dark elves and angels....
I don`t know Anne Stokes - even if you are not misleading.

Exponentiality writ large.....
Ethics?
Whereatfore you talk this?
Good ole MPC.

The top tier will go orf and I bet you the replacement over the top tier goes the same way.

That's a new definition of "similar".

Only problem is his indices are better than Anne Stokes. She has been messing up lately. Somebody needs to talk her.... Jackson could get her attention...

Sure i dont know your idea, the anne stokes deck has been out for years. Please dont feed me bullshit that you came up with that image 100% from scratch. Now im thinking are the rest of the courts copied the same way as well.

Volantangel it's just your opinion.
so we had solve this problem -

How is this even a matter of opinion?! You plagiarized somebody's work and you are just going "oh you found out, let me change to a different image." I highly suspect all the art is done in the same way. "Inspired" by someone else's work and tweaked to be how you want it. I'm 100% out, I'm contemplating dumping you from this forum simply for being a deluded liar.

And strangely this has been cancelled despite actually passing the funding mark. Apparently they want to make changes. Could it be a copyright issue with some of the images? Personally I think it's a horrible way to keep backers interested.
