New Deck in Progress ~ Currently Unnamed

Ashtaroot

Very nice I like the style and the art work, this is really fun :D

for brainstorming the swords how about
books
light bulbs
laptops
eyeglasses
feathers
backpacks
steak knifes lol
wings
apples
broken glass
key /keys
lightning bolt
fountain pens

I don't know how much you want to stick to traditional, you can also not add the elements in the art work and add just a little symbol with the number card

Just ideas

Oh gosh!
He draws so beautifully!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
I don't think I can fit enough exclamation marks to show how impressed I am.
I think that is a brilliant approach. Getting someone to do a deck having never seen an RWS.
Fresh, yet comfortably familiar.
Good on you guys!
I'm so glad you posted this on FB otherwise I might have missed it!

HA!
I was just thinking that! And I came to find out and someones asked the same question.... :D
 

Sinduction

He's been working on the actual figure to go in the Fool card but isn't happy with what he's come up with. I think he's not sure about how the body should be positioned or something like that. I don't understand art speak so I'm not totally sure.

He has been tightening up the background in the mean time.

He's working right now so..... :D I'm crossing my fingers. Maybe something more to show by the end of the weekend?

Fool

Here's the same card, colored sepia, still no fool and the dog has been removed for now. Another dog will replace it, no idea what kind though. It's a secret!

He mainly finished the background, still working on what style he wants to make the actual "people."

Anyway, here's what he's got for now. I really like it.

Gorgeous! I like it both ways - graytone and sepia. I think "full color" would somehow lessen it..but I'm not an artist so I really don't know I guess hehe.
