light deck

[zaganh]

Just don't fall into the Tattoo Deck trap - don't make a four suit-color deck!  They're not easy for many solitaire games and decks that are too far from the standard don't generally sell as well.  The only practical four suit-color decks I've seen are the super/jumbo/low-vision decks for people with eye problems, to make the suits easier for them to distinguish - but even many of those still also have the traditional black-red pips as well on each card.

is there too many colours on them now or do they seem ok would you prefer it more plain ? like the pic under should i go for just two diffrent colours or yellow for 2 and black for 2 or just standard ?

You can change the traditional red and black to two different colors - the most common way to do this would be the lighter color is the swap for red, unless it's a black deck.  I'm talking about the use of four DIFFERENT colors, one for each suit.  Great for old people who have trouble distinguishing suits, but a bit ugly and very difficult to use for most solitaire games.  Poker players normally wouldn't touch those with a ten-foot pole.

oh no i didn't mean that when i say blue and cream for clubs and spades i mean both the spades and clubs will be both blue and cream they ll only be 2 colours for suits or it would get crazy ha ha i mean like the edges of the yellow are red so both hearts and diamonds would be that same yellow and red colour

Interesting concept, but it'll be relatively more expensive to print so many colours on a deck. But I do like the design right now.

True, but no more so than if he were making any other fully-custom deck.  Full-custom decks see to be pretty popular these days - the next Blue Crown deck, Vaudeville, will be a full-custom job, and aside from the LTD., it's been a while since E released a deck that wasn't full-custom.  People have been busting on Dan and Dave as well as T11 for, among other things, rarely releasing full-custom decks.

The point of all that being: a full-custom deck would sell better and faster than one that isn't, as long as it's a quality job from start to finish.

hopefully everyone will love the deck haha ill put the same quality into every aspect and with the feedback from people here it should be awesome hopefully it will do well on kickstarter and i can keep designing full custom decks if people take a liking to this one

starting to draw up the joker

[dmbaggs]

Dang that's an interesting looking joker!! What look are you going for? It looks like a monster or something

the arms are cards shooting out of it or going into it to assemble it im not sure yet haha and the shoulders have j for jokers on one joker those will be gold and on the other red the reveal will be in the blue dome and it will look more clownish by the end ^^ theyll be reds and golds hoping you all like the end result i wasnt sure what i was drawing until i had the main shapes already drawn haha i wanted a cool menacing looking joker

Interesting Joker... it's cool but not something I'd like on a deck of cards. I think you should keep working on the Joker.

[Don Boyer]

I've been thinking about it and thinking about it - I finally figured it out.  Your heart design bears a strong resemblance to the "lion-faced spade" on the Ace from the White Lions deck!

I would show you a picture from David Blaine's site, but it appears that all products were pulled!  There's zero items listed for sale!  No decks, no AIP bottles, no t-shirts, no caps, no posters - nothing.

Are you sure?  They've been sold out of White Lions for some time now.  They had the White Lions "Anything is Possible" bottle still for sale, but they were down to their last 19 or so.

Mmm I don't think you should've showed your private messages in public. It's between you and the other member. Letting us know the content is more than enough already. Just to keep a little privacy for others.

There used to be 2 white lions sets for $25 but now when I went to his site there is no products at all.

I knew about the two-deck pairs - it's how I got my WLs in the first place.  I thought they sold out of those already, though.

Wow! REally looking nice! I don't like the joker a whole lot but I do really love the Aces!

i really like this one compared to the other i hope you guys do too and thank you for giving me feedback other wise i would of never started to draw this joker

[Evan]

Sorry, I hate to be a downer but I'm not a fan of this joker either. But don't make me the one that makes you change your designs... if everyone else likes it, go with it. And in the end, its your deck so it should be how you like it.

Looks a bit nightmarish.  If that's the look you were shooting for, you hit the target in the bull's-eye.
