Cool logo! The court card looks pretty sweet too.
My main suggestion would be to bide your time. There's been an influx of art decks in the past week. If you're not going to do a play off standard playing cards, it might be a good idea to wait a bit.
Can't wait to see more!
Where was this influx? Because I haven't seen anything even close to this. These look like paint on canvas - what have you seen that looks like that?
Based on the little I've seen so far, this is the impression I get in terms of the artistic quality.
A standard deck would be like a basic Staunton chess set, with plastic pieces and a cardboard play board.
Most T11 decks would be a lot like the standard, perhaps with different color schemes, a better board and a wicked-cool carrying case.
Most more-custom decks would be like modern, stylized variants - it's still the same basic shape, but perhaps with a few bells and whistles, like maybe they're made of wood or stone, or they're more modern-looking, or perhaps have bolts and/or tentacles on them, etc.
This deck, so far, looks like one of those really cool sets made of hand-carved pieces of fine, expensive wood, with more realistic detail so the king really looks like a king, seated on his throne, etc. They're weighted and have soft felt bottoms, with a fine inlaid-wood board to match.
...and the Stranger & Stranger deck would be like this deck's chess set, if dozens of artists with different, sometimes diametrically-opposed visions of what it should look like all got together and made one piece each, or a quarter of the board, etc. - and it was all placed in an expensive, deluxe box that was at least ten times prettier than the contents!
