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!

Greyscale or Colour, which Jack of Spades would you choose?

The initial sketch for the Queen of Spades. One of the Three Witches, she delivers the first prophecy to Macbeth that he would become the Thane of Cawdor and King thereafter.

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.

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 Jack of Diamonds is complete! Banquo was Macbeth's friend and right-hand man before his death at the hands of the Three Murderers hired by Macbeth himself.

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.

I don't know how popular the deck theme will be, but the art's pretty nice.

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.
