Fully-Custom ANCIENT ROME Deck

[Jamm Pakd Cards]

Here's the look of the Court Cards' layout! I may do some minor changes as I go, but I'm really liking the look and feel of it. The Back Card design will have a flipped version of the diagonal Banner from the Faces. The diagonal Banner for the Courts and Spades suits will be a different color and different pattern, but the edges for all are a 30c, 30m, 30y, 100k Rich Black color-build that will eliminate marked Face Cards.

Hey Everyone,

I've been juggling between the Queen of Clubs and a freelance Deck, so she's taken longer than I had expected. I finally finished up Octavia's Queen of Clubs this weekend. Let me know what you think!

I'm switching over to the Tucks next.

thanks, Randy

I'm really liking the indices and I think the background is superb!  Just wondering from what or where you are basing the images of the court cards?

[RandyButterfield]

Thanks guys!!

@Helshawk - I'm using ancient statues for my main facial references. Below is a good example of the references and finished faces of Antony and Caesar.

I haven't posted anything new in a while because I'm slowly working on the 2 Tuck Boxes. They're looking great so far!!

thanks, Randy

[Helshawk]

I thought that might be the case when I saw Marc Antony.  Keep up the great work.  Looking forward to see the rest.

[RandyButterfield]

Thanks Helshawk!

Here's a look at the finished Tuck Boxes. Each Tuck exterior will be 4-Color Process + Gold Foil + Embossing. The Map Interior will be 4-Color Process.

thanks, Randy

Yeah, I think I'll have to have a set of these for my collection.  Kudos on a job superbly done.

Thanks Helshawk!

Hey Everyone,

April has been a little hectic, but I finally had time to finish up another Court - Pompey's King of Clubs! A lot of the freelance Deck work is out of the way, so I hope to get into more of a consistent groove with the Rome designs.

Such a luxurious deck Your fascination with the Roman era definitely shines through, especially liked seeing your kings side-by-side with the statues you used for reference, great job.

Thanks NineLives! I'm glad you like them!!

Last night I finished up the ninth Court Card - Livia Drusilla.
Livia was the wife of Augustus, and the mother of Tiberius (Rome's second Emperor).
