The blog just clocked 10,000 views and still counting! Great stuff, thanks everyone for checking it out :-)

I've been away for a little while so I haven't been doing any design work or adding anything to the blog but I'm back now and looking to get stuck into some more polished back designs as soon as I can get my head into it, watch this space!!

Cheers

Revised v1 Raptor backs...

Added pop and circular symmetry with a quick but effective revision...

What to do with those empty circles though?!?

Ideas?

Raptor back - draft v1

I finally got around to drawing the new concept out onto a piece of paper as a (very) rough draft. Initial revisions will need to be:

• make the fleur-de-lys in the corners more prominent
• make the feathers in the raptors' wings slightly more distinctive and seperated
• do something with the centre circle, currently made up of the raptors' fantails, maybe put some legs and talons over the top
• make the circles more obvious and distinctive from a distance
• make the background flourishes fade into the background a bit more, bring the raptors out into the foreground a bit more

Very sketchy initial rendering of this new concept, but it's definitely a worker once it's had a few revisions and some detail and attention put into it.



Back design geometry and symmetry

New Raptor box

New box art and colour scheme from left to right for blue deck, red deck and black deck Linoid Finish Raptors.

These are gonna look sick!

Back design's hopefully getting drawn up during the week so watch this space.

Ace of Spades concept v2

This would require me drawing the eagle out and dropping it in there to replace this photoshopped version which I have included only as a concept, what do people think? I'm running with a finalised version of this or the skull beneath. Probably this.

Thoughts?

Ace of Spades v1

The skulls are back in town the skulls are back in town...

The Ace of Spades is the death card though right? So it fits.

Raptor is the name of the deck since the back is going to feature birds of prey, and the faded wings around the edge tie in with this theme as well.

There is another Ace of Spades concept on the way shortly...
