  1. I don’t like that you don’t get the suite on all of them. Like the king and the jack up there.

  2. I don’t like it. The suit isn’t immediately discernible on some of the cards, could lead to playing confusion. Nice illustrations though.

    Gorgeous! Will & Toast have made some very good points. They would be much better playing cards if they had the suit on all of them, but as far as the artwork goes, these are positively stunning.

  4. Wow, I think those are awesome!

    I want to buy these. Where can I buy them?

  6. It’s Blommestijn, not Blommenstijn.

    Good job giving credit where credit is due. People use other people’s creativity on their blog to make up for their lack of it, but can’t even make clear where they stole it from.

    Thanks Sean fixed the name.

    Yes, whenever possible I give credit where it’s due. Sometimes tineye.com helps to find the original.

  8. The cards have the suites in the artwork, they are awesome. Kudos to the artist.

    laaaaaame

  13. Sure they look neat, but there’s no way I’d want to play with these cards. I’d get confused!

    They absolutely have the suit on all of them. You need to open your eyes and look for it.

    The suits go (and correct me if I’m wrong someone) from the top down:

    Hearts
    Spades
    Hearts
    Spades
    Spades
    Hearts
    Spades

    Everyone else catching on yet?

    Why is the baby with a gun a heart?

  17. CAHBREIS…
    The baby’s eye is a heart and the card is red.

    The 2nd King can’t be a spade because there’s already a king of spades. Must be clubs, although it isn’t too clear. You can kinda tell by the little curls in his head.

    Really cool artwork though dude, but like everyone else said it’d be a little better to make the suites more noticeable, especially the king of clubs, the rest aren’t too bad.

    I like the one wherein an illustration of death is on the card. death of spades.

  20. In all seriousness, is this deck for sale??

  21. The second K from the top would have to be clubs because there is already a king of spades.. The red J with the baby to me represents cupid, thus being the J of hearts. Lastly the Q below that is spades look at the skeletons nose its right there.

    Those are really great, but I imagine there could be some confusion when actually playing with suits. I’d also like to see what the straight number cards look like as well.

  23. With hearts there is a recurring theme (wings) and same with spades (death) If these themes were continued throughout the whole deck there wouldnt be too much confusion while playing. I might do some research and see if he did all 52 otherwise i might have a crack myself , just for lolz :P. Amazing!

  24. It’s nice but you can’t tell what house they’re from.

  25. Come on people.

    These are pretty terrible playing cards, and decent illustration work. Terrible playing cards because the suit is not immediately distinguishable, and decent illustrations because they’re nothing special. Average work on an average blog with average comments.

    This is really nice! Very cool illustrations. Better than the predictable stuff you see on all the other playing cards.

  27. @Scotty boy, Yes. Your comment confirms the average trend.
    You idiot.
