Maybe a little too intricate for mass production??
But the final decal will look close to this.. I'll keep tweaking it till i can cut 50 without losing my mind de-weeding the vinyl

Sastian,

   Just a comment on your background color poll, and over-all design:

   As someone also working on their own deck, I too have asked for opinions on a few issues; before I realized that I would only be truly happy with the deck I'm creating by following my heart for better or worse.  And that way, if my deck succeeds, I will truly be personally proud of it.

   In your case, no matter what input you have from others, I hope you will also just follow your heart too.

   Based upon everything you have shown so far, I admire your work greatly.

   And rather than advise you on colors or design, I'll just say that I will pledge on your cards, and be very happy to receive them in whatever colors and final design you personally are happiest with.

   Please yourself first, and everyone of us lucky enough to get a deck of your cards will know we are holding a piece of your imagination in our hands.

   Thank You for Sharing,

              Will Hart

I would like to echo Cthulhu's sentiments. I could wax fantasy all day on colors, special editions but if you do what you want first, we'll all respect your product for it's authenticity. I'm looking forward to more info on it, please post here when the KS goes live.

Speaking of wood grain, how would that look with a light tinting to give it the appearance of wood?

From here, that shade is more like mud than wood!  Too gray.  Try a blond wood of some kind, a nice warm color.  And leave out the hand-drawn "faux grain" lines - keep it looking more like the one in reply #113.

That's more of an ivory.  Have you ever seen really blonde wood?

This is what I'm driving at.  A really WARM color of wood.

the only thing left bugging me is the imbalance of amount of shadow by having this 3 up - 3 down pattern... i think i need to "re-weave" them you'll see in the second screencap the vortex it makes in my pink highlights... ( much more noticeable when printed...)

the hard part with spot colors is they will not look like wood grain without a lot of texture... im afraid even directly picking colors from your image im getting just variations of orange...


but wait till you see the stretch goal idea... :)

Put the black lines back in, add the white border - this could be a gorgeous back color choice, especially suited to your design.  It would make the back look like carved wood!  Perhaps you could use a light redwood as a second color, or a pale brown?
