First look at cards
Here's the first look at my Double Fanucci Deck. Not bad! It's still incomplete because I haven't finished the face cards yet, but there are only nine of those so I should have them done before too long. All the suits are completed and I'm pleased with the results.
I still need to modify the images because the cards should have rounded corners similar to any poker deck, but again, that should be easy to do.
For this project I sketched out the images I wanted to use and then scanned them into Photoshop. After putting some color and texture on the cards I put them over a colorful background to make them stand out. The background was really the fun part. For that I painted a standard parchment layout on canvas and then scanned the image. When the two images are combined, both are improved!
But even so, what a deck! There are so many cards that a complete deck will be about two inches thick. Wow. But for what is inarguably the greatest card game ever created, it's only fitting that it commands a deck of intimidating size.
