Four Elements Deck

Ok, Here we are! A few month ago I designed a 54-card deck as a gift to my beloved wife and as personal project. This is the result and description of the process, I hope you'll find it interesting and like it!
Check for more extra information at my FB page here:

This were the very first sketches for face and pip cards, to understand the overall look and feel.
Some early suit theme sketches of banner and signs
This is the design process of all the figures in the deck. First a sketch of the character with pencil, scan it, clean it and prepare it for vectorization. After that I add color. Finishing touches, shades, reflections and fitting the character into the card. This is the Jack of Spades.
Process for Jack of Clubs.
Creatures of earth are sort of walking trees.
Process for Jack of Hearts.
Creatures of air are sort of low-tech race with flying abilities.
Process for Jack of Diamonds.
I decided that creatures of fire will be represented as mechanical beings inspired by diesel-punk style.

More detailed work on Jack of Diamonds as a character for cut out animation.
Jack of Diamonds flame attack.
Since i am an 2D animator as well i was curious how my Jack of Diamonds would look like when he attacks.

Final box design.
Spades face cards design.
Clubs face cards design.
Hearts face cards design.
Diamonds face cards design.
Varios pip cards design.
Jokers cards design.
Thank You
I hope you liked it! Please share.
