Will there be a version with white cards aswell? I’m not a fan of black cards at all (will have to buy it most certainly anyways ^^). Even worse if they aren’t black stock and just printed black.

I'm on the fence, actually. Maybe there will be 2 versions, one black the other white.

I hope I'll be able to show the finished card in 2-3 days.

Hey, I see no peepee!!

These are really odd... but for some reason I'm really digging it.

Maybe if you ask nice Lotrek will throw in a Sharpie marker and you can draw it on yourself.

Would definetly be great. I mean, I’m most definetly going to buy a black version anyways, but for gameplay I prefer white (or off-white/ebony) cards.

I also think ivory would look good for these - probably better than white. It does mean one more color to check, though, and pale shades like that always seem tricky to match.

Yah, the white definetly should have a vintage look to it. A plain modern “blue” white is definetly not for these cards.

But I would totally understand if there wouldn’t be a white version because Bosch’s bigger works are with dark backgrounds, so it will be a hard task to transfer the same vibe to another background.

I actually believe that the white background will be better than ivory. The first pics that I posted here were in white background.

I wouldn’ t have a problem with 3 versions !

A black variant, a “cocaine-white” (vintage) variant and the regular white variant. No matter what you do Lotrek, count me in for all variants !

Yeah, and I didn't like it

I second the motion to include the willies, they're integral to the original artwork! It's not like they're detailed at all. I also don't like the white, the artwork is warm, white is cold, it clashes in an unpleasing way, I'd rather it all feel cozy, if there even is a white version.

Strange as it seems to come out in support of, I also say: stay true to the art. Even including nudity and hellish violence. As someone who is already earmarking money for this deck, that's exactly what attracts me to Bosch in the first place.

Never crossed my mind any kind of censorship. I will stay true to the core of the art but I'll also change things to make it more suitable for playing cards. I'm not copy-pasting elements neither am I just redrawing them. The challenge is incredible and I still wonder why on Earth I decided to do it...

Lotrek wrote:The challenge is incredible and I still wonder why on Earth I decided to do it...

Because you love the challenge, I guess .

For the part with the wiener, I couldn’t care less if there is one or not. On Lotrek’s joker the hip is turned slightly away from the spectator, therefore no wiener. On the original the hip is turned towards the observer, therefore wiener.

I don’t think Bosch’s artistic legacy is defined by a peepee. ^^

Hahaha I actually couldn't care less about the peepee

Some seem to care about the wieners

Lotrek's Joker is unfinished. Most of what you see is just a sketch.

Read your signature quote.

A bit more work added to this...
I don't know if you find it interesting to see the process but I thought it would be cool to share anyway.

Definetly interested! So nice to see the progress.

Hey Ted, I found your peepee!

I'll need this feck for three reasons:
- Lotrek
- Bosch
- scaring (scarring?) my son shitless when he is annoying

Does it make me a bad parent?

1. The first is correct.
2. Yes.

No, it makes you a responsible collector!

By the way, still planned to be produced by Cartamundi?

shiroo56 wrote:By the way, still planned to be produced by Cartamundi?

Yes. The plan is to go myself there and supervise printing in an effort to make sure they'll be as much delayed as possible!
Jokes aside, yes. Ideally I want to be present during printing.

Just gotta say; while I love that you're sharing your progress on this deck with us - that's like super awesome and please keep doing it! - I seriously feel like Beetlejuice when it comes to waitin' for ANY of your decks lol
