I already have some interest shown from some stores for this deck so 6,900$ is enough to go to print. We set the goal to 6,900$ because I really want this design to go to print and that's the minimum we need. When I went with black, I said.'that's it'. I tried to do white background on the back my impression that way the back is too similar to court faces. Influenced by horror movies and any kind of horror art (T-shirts too) some similarities to known monsters are bound to occur.

I don't use any reference pics on purpose. An update will be posted tomorrow with new pic.įew things about the deck creatures are totally original, my inventions. I sincerely appreciate your comments, I assure you, rest of the art is top quality also. I never get to post the info when we go live first Thanks. (I'm seeing the black line as the actual border of the Ace of Spades and not background.)Īnyway, I do like the concept and its execution enough to dive in, so consider these observations as minor things and not major complaints. None of the three you've shown have that black negative space and instead all have small details on a white background around the central figures. I think it's a little bit the outline of the head and the shape of the eyes.Īlso, there's also a strong black outline around the head on the card back which for me doesn't quite feel the same as the rest of the aces and courts. And while he's very much a creep, I'm not sure that he's exactly creepy. However, my first impression of the back as a whole was that the face reminded me very strongly of Dr. I really like the way the two sets of teeth are done to maintain the backs as two-way. The back, though, I'm not as blown away by. I like the second court and the Ace you've revealed and I've backed for a couple of decks.

Spooky playing cards jack
