Testing.. Testing...

February 7th - via: kickstarter.com
I wanted to see what these looked like at scale, SO --  I printed out mock ups. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THESE ARE RESIDENTIAL PRINTER AND ARE NOT PROFESSIONAL QAUILITY PRINTS. I just wanted to see how these looked actual size off screen and I am so glad... (Read More)

Jack of Diamonds

February 6th - via: kickstarter.com
Got my line drawing for the Jack of Diamonds drawn out yesterday! Might have drawn him a little too large so I'll be shiting the scale/sizing of the King and Queen to make room on the board so I won't have to completely redrawn him. Going to switch... (Read More)

Holo-backings

February 5th - via: kickstarter.com
Having trouble getting the video to link into this update; however, I posted it to my stories/highlights on Instagram  (https://www.instagram.com/boss_illustrations/) to showcase the options for the holographic details and I think I've decided which... (Read More)

King of Clubs

February 2nd - via: kickstarter.com
playing around with the mock up for this King again as I realized I hated how the bodies connected in the middle. I had to do a little digital warping around the cloak and waist but I think I enjoy this a lot more. Especially how they overlap and... (Read More)

Joker

January 29th - via: kickstarter.com
I love this and I am so unsure of whether or not it is cohesive with the rest of the deck and the face cards that I am producingm-- and while I love the work I have done with the face cards, seeing this collaged together is making me feel like I... (Read More)

Clubs

January 29th - via: kickstarter.com
Trying out some test runs while I wait for the paintings to get scanned. I kind of enjoy the over-sized letters as it was almost unreadable when it was smaller. Still figuring out if you can even see it or not. Also since this mockup is using a low... (Read More)

Clubs

January 27th - via: kickstarter.com
I have just finished or nearly finished painting all the face cards for the clubs! I realized that the kings and queens so far don't have any crowns / tiaras and now I'm questioning my reality. I might have to go back and add some to the... (Read More)

Jack of Hearts

January 19th - via: kickstarter.com
I've done a little mock up of the Jack of Hearts. Some color grading still needs work as I just used a picture of the character while I wait to get the original painting scanned. This was just a test to see how the figures would fit together once... (Read More)

Oh the Possibilities!

January 16th - via: kickstarter.com
Currently in conversation with shuffledink.com about embellishments for the tuck box and the backs of the cards.I don't know why I hadn't considered holographic or spot gloss accents for the glass portions of the "windows" until now. Could even do... (Read More)

Facecard Backgrounds

January 15th - via: kickstarter.com
Like this, where the letter for the card will be in the upper left alcove and the pip on the right (this is just the Clubs example while the Diamonds and Hearts will have their standard red border). The recessed coin motif will sit behind the... (Read More)

Pips and Basics

January 15th - via: kickstarter.com
Here's just a little hodge-podge of the card elements so everyone can see the pips and the boarders of how the cards will look. The face cards will have the same buttress boarder as the Ace of Diamonds on the previous update, but with an additional... (Read More)

Ace Conundrum

January 13th - via: kickstarter.com
While I really enjoy how this looks, I'm wondering if the difference between it and the other Aces will become too much of a contrast. I know typically the Ace of Spades has more information to it... but I'm wondering if this is too much. I'm also... (Read More)

Ankylosaurs

January 13th - via: kickstarter.com
I've just finished the line work for the Jack and Queen of clubs and am currently en-route to have the King entirely drawn out today! These character designs really stand out to me for some reason and I can't wait to see them painted. I was curious... (Read More)

and WE'RE LIVE!

January 10th - via: kickstarter.com
Let's GOOOO!  59 days to get this project funded and I'm feeling great about it. I've just completed the watercolor paintings for the first three face cards and will have those uploaded soon, which will become prints as part of the reward tier for... (Read More)

The Countdown Begins!

January 7th - via: kickstarter.com
The closer we get to launching this campaign the more nervous I get. I've almost finished the first three character portraits for the Suit of Hearts and they've already been the deciding factor in re-doing the Joker cards to fit the visual motif... (Read More)
