Progress 5/29

Unfortunately I ended up getting really busy the past few weeks with a number of other concerns that were pulling me away from working on my cards. I was able to get back to them this past week and wanted to post an update. I have completed all of the number cards and I have a rough placeholder for the aces. The aces may stay that way if I don't end up having time to go back and add more to them. The idea would be to put some cherry blossom patterns in them.

I have some rough sketches of the face card designs, I am going to try and get a few of those finalized this week. As far as artist inspiration for the designs, I haven't really chosen a particular artist. Instead, I have looked at some playing cards and have chosen that I want to adopt some of the design elements they use in their cards to the execution of my own original designs.

Here are the cards that I have completed so far. The bottom ones that are blank are where I will create the face card designs. I still need to decide how I want the letters to look for them as well, which is why they have numbers as placeholders.
