Hey T11. It's been a while since I last posted anything on the forums. But now that school is over (at least for me anyways), I thought I'd share something I've been working on for a while.
The direction I set for myself was to create a deck of cards for YOU guys (something like the Bicycle Guardians: a deck that most magicians would be familiar with, but especially those who are on Theory11).

Concept: Time.
Ok, so the overall style I wanted to achieve was an old/underground look, which seems to be a popular theme for Theory11. The primary focus of the design is the pendulum (a symbolic instrument of telling time), which points to the roman numerals: #11 (of course), in the corner. The background features old parchment paper, with faded drawings. The drawings include 3 circles (which represent the Sun, Earth, and Moon), and lines (which represent the lines on a sundial). Both of these (at some point) were instrumental to measuring / determining time. The other symbols (such as the scripty lines, and the geometric shape in the middle) were designed to reinforce the old / underground theme.
Personally, I feel these cards would shine when flourishing. Imagine spinning a card with this design. Feel free to leave a comment and tell me what you think. Would you buy these cards? Do you think this design would fit with Theory11's custom cards? Improvements?
Cheers,
EJ
