Yes this deck deserved a second chance with the amount of detail and time I took into creating it. Again, I'm not going to stop after this deck gets produced. A villain deck will be the follow up and then thats it for this series. After that I have plans on creating more and more decks. I would love nothing more then to develop a fan base and a strong relationship with uspcc. I want to showcase my skills as an artist and hopefully by the end of all of this I will get some job offers. Mind you w.e. happens it will not prevent me from creating new decks : D

That new Jack looks WAY better than the other court cards you posted.  If I'm honest, although I liked the back design and you seem like a good guy, these were never a definite buy for me.  If the rest of the court cards are at that standard, they are a definite buy.

Yes the rest of the court cards will follow the same theme. However a sleight change, if you look at regular Bicycle court cards now, all he swords and axes look the same. Well with my design, each sword and axe will be different on every card.

So, you'll have "Galvanic: Heroes Edition".

Then "Galvanic: Villians Edition".

What about "Galvanic: The Last Battle Edition"?  Or something to that effect?  Conflict Edition, or Epic Clash Edition?  (Just please, not "Pillow Fight Edition"...)

I think it would be a cool idea.  Tweak the spot cards to have background images of the heroes and villains going at it against each other, blasts of energy flying, swords and axes clashing!  Make two-headed courts featuring heroes on one half, villains on the other!

ahh yes I did think about that idea of having a third deck. "Aftermath" but personally I would like to move on from the theme after the villain. UNLESS I develop a strong enough fan base and they tell me to create one. If that happens that by all means you guys are getting one. As far as the names go, this deck is just called Galvanic. The villain deck will be an entirely different name. However, to me and you guys it will be nick named the hero deck and villain deck.

Here is the Tuck Case for my Galvanic playing cards!

http://imageshack.us/f/542/galvanictuckcase.jpg/

Please keep in mind those are not the true colors as the web cannot handle them. Also that Bicycle logo image on the front is not the final image. USPCC will apply it to the design once Kickstarter succeeds and the designs are sent.

I would love feedback from you guys!

Thanks everyone,

Times New Roman (and anything too similar) are insanely common typefaces.  Go for something a little more unique, at least for the deck's brand name.  Otherwise, looks fine to me.

normally I don't think it would be that big of a deal, but I think that you should really try to draw the viewers eye to the word galvanic. So I would go for something a little more flashy (but still fits with the theme).

Eh that may just be a little too unoriginal. It will just look like he is copying that deck. I wouldn't go that direction.

Sadly? I'm assuming you mean because of the overlap/closeness in the two project. I'm sure it won't be a big deal.

Tendril is aiming for a hit-and-run with this one - only 30 days to raise the funding.  If the Galvanic is offered with a longer timeline, perhaps it will have a better chance at success.

Yeah I would also suggest a little longer run time! I know many of us would love to see this deck come to life and a little extra time might help a lot.

Dude.  Not even close.  I own the two Pirate decks and FCJ.  The changed pip colors on the Pirate are NOT the same as the single curlicued pip on the Clip Joint.  The only thing that makes them even close to being the same is that not all the pips are alike, but there the similarities end.


Let the guy make the deck he wants WITHOUT having to copy ANYONE ELSE'S DECK.  Originality is a GOOD thing.

I'm pretty sure it was.

Yeah the first update for the Vortex deck was on October 10th and it was fully funded on the 3rd of December. So that's almost two full months. I remember I was looking at it for a month or so before I finally pledged.

Yes, I found out about it near the beginning of November, almost a month had gone by, and there was a bit less than a month left.

Hey Eeveryone,
I just wanted to remind everyone that the Kickstarter page for these cards will be launching tomorrow 3pm Eastern time!!
Make sure you spread the word and lets get this funded this time around!. The reward system is different, the designs have changed/updated and custom court cards have been added to the deck!. The goal will be $10,000 for 50 days. Every 5 days a new custom court card picture will be uploaded so make sure you stay tuned! It will have Aristocrat stock as well as the Magic Finish.

Im so excited for this guys so lets make a dream come true!
