I really like that joker, it goes with the back designs very well. As for the latter, I think I like the one on the right better.

I like that joker a lot! As for the back design, I like the one on the left better but I think both of them need something in the corners so that fans aren't blank.

i think the back design on the right will be better for adding in more detail

Dazzleguts · « **Reply #28 on:** May 05, 2012, 06:00:10 PM »

The sinuous lines of the one on the left feels like a better fit to me, but it does need more detail. Perhaps something in the middle to give it the strong centre which the other back has.

NathanCanadas · « **Reply #29 on:** May 05, 2012, 06:03:39 PM »

Yes, I agree with Evan. Some parts of both back design seem a bit lacking. Maybe increasing the contrast between the center and back and adding a little background design might help. I'm not sure.

i know the design on the left look better but to me it does not have any space for improvement .. but for the right one it is pretty easy to add a few more circle at the edges whichi one show it a card fan

Thanks a lot for all the reviews so far.
Remaining court cards coming soon!

I have to tell you I love the court card drafts! i really do! And as for the backs I like the one on the left side as well. The joker is kick ass. Dark but not disturbing to the point where I won't be able to look at it. I love the joker! Great one I really cant wait to see the digitized versions of these. And I'm curious to see what my favourite card will look like. Queen of Spades.

I am absolutely in love with these sketches for some reason. good one Rajas! keep 'em coming!

Rajas Paranjpe · « **Reply #33 on:** May 07, 2012, 06:24:56 AM »

@Lara Glad you liked the designs so far.

Here are basic sketches for few of the other court cards

NathanCanadas · « **Reply #34 on:** May 07, 2012, 10:37:50 AM »

That's really cool! It seems there are a variety of different ideas shaping this deck, and that is awesome! My favorite court card it the goat

Rajas Paranjpe · « **Reply #35 on:** May 08, 2012, 12:37:16 AM »

@Nathan
Yes we want this deck to be one of the finest decks ever made.

For card back which 2 color versions you would like to see?
Red+blue, blue+green, custom+custom?

How about black and red?

NathanCanadas · « **Reply #37 on:** May 09, 2012, 12:55:18 PM »

Purple and green would be pretty cool, but I don't know if they'd go together well. Maybe Purple and Marroon?

Hello everyone!

I thought it was about time to introduce myself: My name is Andreas Propst (but call me Andi

), I am a young freelance artist and (board and card) game designer from a rural part of Upper Austria. I am the guy behind the Poker Deck artworks Rajas and Don have been showing you.

Let me seize the opportunity to express my sincere thanks for all the great feedback you guys have provided on here. I have been following the thread for quite a while and it was your nice comments that kept me going!

So from now on I want to actively participate in the discussion on here and want to give you the opportunity to direct your comments, ideas, feedback, constructive criticism to me personally...

Due to personal illness I haven't been able to provide any more updates lately, but now I am all well again and ready to start through with the poker card art again. Tonight I had a try at the card back - you can have a look at the result attached to this post! Feedback would be more than welcome!

If you want to have a look at my other artwork please visit my website at http://ap.o-nan.org
Also in case of any questions you can mail me any time at andreas.propst31@gmail.com

Looking forward to an interesting discussion and interactive process of creating an awesome, unique product!

Thanks and cheers,

Andi

Welcome to the Discourse Andi! It's great to have you here.
Your artwork is incredible and this deck will definitely be awesome.

I love all of the designs so far and that back design is much better than the previous ones. Looks great!

NathanCanadas · « **Reply #40 on:** May 20, 2012, 10:21:35 PM »

Welcome to the Discourse! I think that this is the best back design so far: a mixture between the two previous one with a strong center image and some little designs in the corners. I can't wait for more updates!

Thanks Nathan! I kept in mind to give the design a strong center and some little things in the corners to get a nice card fan.

Expect the Jack of Hearts soon! Joker is coming up as well!

Hello everyone!

Sorry for the long period of silence...

Being a game designer as well, I had a lot of work on soon to be released games
(www.elementalclash.com and www.biomechanicdinobattles.com in case anyone is interested...)
which distracted me a bit from doing more artwork for the poker deck.

So to make up for that, I did an "all-nighter" to be able to present you another card.
Find the Jack of Hearts attached below. Hope you like it!

Next up will be the Joker! I will try to not let you wait this long again so stay tuned!

Cheers,

Andi

Nice work! Are you keeping the whole hand-drawn look or are you touching up/re-shading it in Photoshop? I think either could be good.

jilocasin · « **Reply #45 on:** May 27, 2012, 01:49:37 PM »

Hey!

Glad you like it!

I will hand-draw everything (at least card back, card box, court cards and joker) and will send the raw files to the guys at Brahma.
What they do with the raw art is up to them (I would guess some adjustments in photoshop would be needed for the print version,
but of that I have no knowledge...)

probably my most favorite looking deck to date....seriously, im in love.
cant wait till theyre on the market, loving the vibe and the artwork

jilocasin · « **Reply #47 on:** May 27, 2012, 09:18:53 PM »

Thanks for your kind words - glad you like the artwork! it is nice feedback like yours that keeps me going!

Evan · « **Reply #48 on:** May 28, 2012, 01:01:37 PM »

Seeing the jack of hearts makes me really excited to see the other court cards because that looks awesome!

This deck features exquisite artwork done by hand with a quill from Austrian artist Andreas Propst. Each deck comes in a metallic foil embossed box and is printed on quality 305 gsm German Black Core high performance playing card board with a quantum-grain linen casino grade finish.

The printer will be shipping them direct through DHL with free worldwide shipping - no hassles, no waiting. My last Kickstarter project (the Darkana tarot deck) was delayed by logistics and I had to ship them all myself, which caused a lot of issues. I am happy to report that these issues have all been resolved.
