I like the idea of adding a book for informative reasons. I look forward to the Queens and Kings cards. With that being said, what are you ideas for the number cards? also, I was thinking, as far as the aces.. the ace of diamonds... have you considered having one of the samurai holding his sword over head, while the other keeps his sword low?

Going to do customised pips for the number cards. That'll be one of the last things we do though, the idea is there, just want to get courts, back and tuck out the way (in that order).
Ah, that is a sweet idea, will implement it and see how it looks, thank you

sketches of the Jacks

JoC - Naito Kiyonari
JoD - Toyotomi Hideyori
JoH - Honda Masanobu
JoS - Aoyama Tadanari

These look beautiful! Are you colouring them in digitally or traditionally? Are you sharing work up on ig or anywhere?

Hey, thank you for your sweet comments, I really do appreciate it most of the credit should go to my cousin you can sure enough follow him on IG https://www.instagram.com/ti.walker/
I don't have an IG account, but they will be posted on his in due time.

I'll also be posting every week on snapchat, check out my signature for that

The colouring was done via photoshop. However, I hope to produce some prints for the project where they will be hand coloured, or might have an option of black and white and allow others to colour. Will cross that bridge near the launch date.

EDIT: apologies, colouring was initially done by hand, I've just been informed.

Hey guys. It's been a while since I've posted anything worthwhile on the forums. Haven't been very active due to various life obstacles that I was overcoming.
Anyway, all that's settled now and I can move on to something that's near and dear to me.
For those that know me, I am a huge fan of Japanese culture and of course I've always wanted to jump on the playing card design bandwagon. I've been pondering about this idea for a good few months, and I'm slowly starting to work on a Japanese themed deck based loosely on the Tokugawa Shogunates and the Japanese Edo Era. I'm working along side my cousin and we are doing an all hand drawn deck of cards. Here's one of the aces we drew. (I've had to resize and crop as it doesn't allow anything over 1mb)
Hopefully, I can go ahead and create something that would appeal to all. Keep in mind, this is a rough sketch.
Any ideas of what you'd like to see, please throw them my way.

In all fairness, you can see them in the video pretty clearly, you know you have the ability to pause right? :p
here's some screenshots for you taken from the video, no zoom, hasn't been supersized or anything.

If you call that card back "pretty clear," you're overdue to see an eye doctor...

At least you appear to have confirmed that this ISN'T a deck of playing cards after all.  I'm going to move the topic to the Magical Cardistry Bonanza.  If we later learn that the cards are suited and have values in those suits, I'll move it back.  If we cover this in the Plethora, we might as well cover UNO and Rook...

Don, it's clear enough to make out the design. Last time I checked, I believe you wore glasses, not me 
And if it's not clear enough for yourself, then surely you can put two and two together and realise that that's the same back design as shown in the original post?
Or, as mentioned before, watch the video and pause if it's that much of a big deal.
