You have to ask yourself. Does this work. Did I break any rules...

Please explain, the card is symmetrical so I am not sure what you are referring to. Thanks

Here is a new version of the lawman back, without words.

what do you think?

I really love how these decks are turning out but I do agree that the spade pip does not look good.

And KK are "Cowboys"!

It's funny how you use a six sided star in the middle and a ? sided star in the... They do have different meanings...

Looks good. Needs some bullets!

The stars are just representing lawmen since they wore star badges in the west, some were six and some were 5, some were not stars but 6 stars are symmetrical so we need to use them to keep the card symmetrical in the middle.

Here are some new changes do the Wild West Back, Let me know what you think. I like these better.

I think they look really nice now. They are totally on theme.

Thank you! I appreciate it!

I agree - the new backs are a huge improvement!

Yep I agree the new ones look much nicer with the extra detail.

If I had to choose between the two, then I like the slightly higher contrast of the first one.

Thanks glad you like them, I like the first one as well. Not sure if I should change the stripes in the middle to black or not. But I like this design better. Thanks!

Made some changes and color changes. Leaning towards this back design for the lawmen deck.

Hey, made changes to the Outlaw Back. Made changes to the guy, the hat, and the scroll work. Both cards tie in together better. Let me know what you think and what color you like better.

Thanks,

I'm sorry if you're not able to unsee this, but it looks like the outlaw is giving you two thumbs up.

hahaha never saw that. its actually very hard to see that, which color deck do you like

Option number one

I give a "thumbs up" to #1 too. Took me a second to see them.

Have you had anyone put a bandana mask on like in your drawing for perspective? The outlaws face looks flat to me. I wonder if a "nose" would give it depth or be flat as you have it in real life. Just my thought.

I think your outlaw back falls wayy short of your lawman deck, keep working at it !

Ace of Spades for the Outlaw Deck!

Here is the King of Diamonds - Virgil Earp

"Virgil Walter Earp was Tombstone, Arizona City Marshal when he led his brothers Morgan and Wyatt and Doc Holliday in a confrontation with outlaw Cowboys at the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral on October 26, 1881" per Wikipedia

Sorry your AoS looks like two tits ready to droop... Your transition is not very good...

I like the new Lawman back. In comparison the Outlaw looks very plain. Maybe add more outlaw stolen stuff.

I think your Spades should be more rounded and not have the "lower corners" look.

Hope this helps. Looking forward to this....

King of Clubs - James Butler "Wild Bill" Hickok of the Lawmen Deck of the Wild West Playing Card Project.

"Wild Bill of the American Old West is known for his skills as a scout, lawman, gunfighter and gambler. He was a professional gambler who was involved in several notable shootouts. In 1876, Hickok was shot from behind and killed while playing poker in a saloon. The poker hand he supposedly held at his death has become known as the dead man's hand. There are a few hands that were suspected of being the Dead Man's hand but the most widely accepted was black aces and black eights." per Wikipedia

Hey Everyone, I have been working on getting the project ready for Relaunch. I am going with United States Playing Card Company and I have changed the shape of the suits. Some of the feedback is people did not like the shape of the spades. We have changed the shape of the suits. Here is a preview. Thanks, Justin

Really liking the new spade!
