but it's so cute...

i started my BTW deck, it's all done. two rough drafts of sketches, working on first draft of color pictures. but this new deck kinda imposed itself on me in between!

i'm sharing a few pics and would love feedback (just a few of the rough sketches).

i'm pretty sure it's obvious which cards they are! there are more black and white sketches done but not for the minors yet.

i'm having a rough time coming up with a potential name for the deck...

cute!
The Chalk Tarot?

 

[littleiris]

LOL it's actually white colored pencil. i think i will use just some strategic placement of color though.

though, doing it in chalk on like...a black parking lot would be neat!

So charming!

Very cute! I like it. I think Chalk Tarot would be very fitting indeed.

It's got something of the International Icon feel to it with its minimalist images. But I could tell what each one was without too much thought. I really like!

What I'm about to suggest probably wouldn't be possible if you go the self-published route, but since the cards are already black, it would be really cool if the colors on the cards popped under a black light. I think your images would look wonderful if they glowed in the dark.

oh now that would be neat! i KNOW they make glow in the dark chalk too...i've toyed with the idea of doing a limited edition of the "chalk on the asphalt deck" of just the majors and doing the hand drawing ones as a full deck.

thanks!

I like it, too Clean, concise, playful.

I am a fan of color, and though there is not much, the images make good use of the color that is in them. I like.
