Playing cards Sunrise

It's an improvement but you need to do something about the indices.  Placement is good, but they're black and white printed on a background that's also black and white.  Wipe off that background under the index and you should have a better looking card.  Think of using an alternate font, as well - that "faux Oriental" font is kind of passe and borderline racist, I would think - anything elegant, narrow and sans serif would work with the style as well as being more clear and readable.  It's also worth considering to place a suit symbol next to the lady's head, like you would see on a traditional court card.  In fact, you should use a plainer spade in the index and save the fancy spade for the body of the card.

Thank you Don. Very valuable advice.

IMHO: Nice Pisces but remove them from the borders. Playing cards and some collage are different things.
The lady itself is really nice. Don't spoil the Queen of Spades with unnecessary elements.

That queen is absolutely stunningly beautiful. Well Done!!!

That's some nice artwork!  Would love to see a full color version.

These look pretty cool, I also would like to see full color on the cards.

Loving the Samurai backs!!

I think Gold and Black would look good on the Samurai.  Maybe a dab of other colors like silver/grey. The red and blue look too plain to me.  JMO

I, on the other hand, like the monochrome style of the deck in red and blue.  It hearkens back to the old-school decks of the early 20th century, and I really like a white, borderless design like this - very elegant and clean.  I looks in no small part like one of my favorite decks, Bicycle Limited Edition #1.

@vovkalex - You need to throw something in the top left corner of your back of card.  Anything you want.  Doesn't matter what color.  You have to much white negative space there....

I agree with Sprouts, that is a lot of negative space in prime location.

I actually LIKE that it has an empty corner like that.  Corners are majorly important to flourishers, but shouldn't be an issue to anyone else.  In fact, for poker, they're awesome as they are - there's no place to hide any kind of marks or indicators.  You don't see that often in deck design and I feel it makes this deck distinctive in a good way.

I was going to bring up the point Don did. Great for card players, and the back in cool enough with out anything extra.
