Design & Development / Re: Tragoedia Macbethi Playing Cards - Custom Playing Cards Based on Macbeth

There have been Shakespeare-themed playing cards on Kickstarter before, but a deck hasn't been dedicated to one of Shakespeare's plays.

People like a story deck, so I imagine the demand for this would be there.

The initial sketch of the Queen of Diamonds has been completed!

Lady Macduff was the wife of Macduff, who tragically was killed alongside her son when the Three Murderers went to her home to find her husband.

The inking process for the King of Spades is complete! We had to do some revisions compared to the initial sketch as it was too busy and wasn't balanced enough compared to its other court cards.

The initial sketch for the King of Spades has been completed! One of the Three Witches, she gave the third prophecy to Macbeth that he'll never be defeated until Great Birnam Wood to high Dunsinane Hill shall come against him.

Design & Development / Tragoedia Macbethi Playing Cards - Custom Playing Cards Based on Macbeth
« on: March 15, 2023, 11:04:57 PM »
Hi everyone!

We're starting the design of our upcoming custom playing cards called Tragoedia Macbethi Playing Cards. The playing cards are based on the themes and concepts of Macbeth, with the court cards representing major characters in the play. Additionally, each suit has a theme around it, which are:
  • Spades: represents the supernatural, witchcraft, magic and darkness
  • Diamonds: represents cruelty and the victims of Macbeth?s tyranny
  • Clubs: represents the royal court of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth
  • Hearts: represents the light and the eventual prevail of good from tyranny and evil

Our illustrator has just started the illustration and will be working every hard for the next 12-months. I've attached the first sketch drawn up already, which is one of the witches representing the Jack of Spades!

Let me know what you think of the first initial sketch!

Design & Development / Macbeth Playing Cards - Need Some Feedback
« on: June 23, 2022, 09:12:12 AM »
Good afternoon everyone! This is my first time on this forum, so can't wait to talk to other passionate enthusiasts and collectors.

I producing my first project out of, hopefully, the many that I'm doing in the future. This playing card is based on Macbeth; everything from the themes, to the characters to the colour palate is based on the Shakespeare play. The project started early this year and I'm hoping to get a final draft done by August or September of this year. I wanted to launch a Kickstarter this year, but due to the uncertainties in the economy and the whole Ukraine-Russia war that's happening, which is affecting everything, I had to push the Kickstarter launch till next year.

In the mean time, I would like to show some of the artwork that has been produced for the first draft. Please provide some feedback about them, I would love to know what people are thinking about the design. Tell me what you like, what you don't like, any improvements and ideas.

The samples are in this imgur link: https://imgur.com/a/Ss7aUnF

Let me know what you think so far. Cheers!
