Hi Everyone!

I'd like to start by saying that while I am new to these forums, I love the passion and enthusiasm which so many people here have and bring to their art. I am really looking forward to learning from you all!

I infrequently dabble in larger-scale art like most of these posts have, but lately I have been working on a deck of cards inspired by stickmen called 'Pipmen', and thought I would share some of it here for any critiques to make it better. While it isn't great pieces like Zaix seems to pull off effortlessly, I hope you like them (especially seeing as this is the stickpage forum)

Please feel free to give me any comments to make them better!

***EDIT***

I am updating this first post to keep track of all the most recent images. You can find all the finished ones below:

I like the idea. I'd definitely buy this deck if I could.

Thanks man!

Any suggestions for extra designs? I have most of them sorted, but a few are refusing to fall into place...

Very nice. Looking good so far!

Wow, that's very creative of you.

These are awesome, I love that each card is unique. Just keep doing what you're doing, I want to see more! Keep us updated!

Cards full of creativities
This is awesome, I'm looking forward for it

While I love all of the designs, I feel like they don't really fit well together in the sense of a deck. There's no central theme, and it detracts from the overall nature as there's no unification.

Thanks for the support guys! I really appreciate it.

Salt and Azure; I agree; the lack of a unified theme throughout does detract from the set, but I found that as I did my initial planning, I just couldn't come up with enough of my primary themes to fill out a whole deck. Having said that though, I have recently come up with an idea to piggyback off this one which will have a very solid theme running through it - something that will hopefully be really cool :) But if I've learned anything from creative hobbies, it is to finish one project before taking on another one.

To that end, here are some 3's. Hope you like them :)

I'm also struggling for ideas for 3 cards: the 7 Diamonds, 10 Diamonds and 8 Spades - these 3 I have gone through several different ideas but nothing seems right - any suggestions?

I agree - they would be better as a group, but when I laid out the plan for the designs I couldn't come up with enough in a single theme to justify pushing down that road. However, I do have a future project in mind which does just that :)

But for now, here are some more Hearts :)

I realised I had not given out any Jokers for the Pipmen deck yet... They are some of my favorites - fun, playful and a bit mischevous!

There will be 4 Jokers (that's right - 4); different ones for different decks :) Here are the Black edition Jokers!

I'm on track for getting the whole deck done, just a few designs left to nail down :)

Huh, the first pipmen picture is somewhat funny to look at. Good job on that.

These are going very well :) I have finished 95% of the whole project and they look great! Here are some 6's and 7's for you :)
