So, only just watched this series over the last two days. I am so gutted that the kickstarter isn't firing out. You deserve so much better for the work you've put in mate. I've never wanted a deck of cards more. I'm backing on payday, 21st Feb 22. Maybe get the youtube community to plug it? This would be a joy to own. The concept is incredible, the community collab is revolutionary. You are something Ten. A true inspiration. Yeh bwoi, love from Nottingham U.K Edit: ohhhh $200,000...., I read it as $2,000.... Well in that case, so it should be, you killed it mate, can't wait for my deck!! All out ledge.
I’m so glad you didn’t completely do away with the black character. When I saw him and noticed he was black, I thought it was so dope and that card immediately became my favorite. I personally kind of like the more mysterious look of the king of spades, and as a black woman I didn’t feel offended at all, but I understand why you changed it and I’m just glad he’s still in the deck. I can’t wait to buy mine!
Yeah it’s going to be a mixed bag of who’s offended and not. I don’t personally agree with your offense but don’t fault you for it. I think it was the safe and responsible decision as an ally and business owner.
As a black woman, I wasn’t personally offended but I love that you to take time and care to listen to your fans. It’s great that you didn’t ditch the character on the king of spades altogether but you repurposed him for the king of hearts and it’s so much more dope. Alsooo love the 9 to 5 reference!
This man is A occultist!! Look at all the free mason's symbolism he has! That is iLLUMiNATi! He seriously made pacts with the DEVIL! He is A great deceiver and FALSE PROPHET! I am A real 1! I am making A channel soon and will do art and music and prayers and teachings. Trust in some1 who truly cares to look out for you.
Was coming here to suggest a double back for the other ad card for both the magic reason and uncut design display reason. So glad so many else thought this.
Please make the last Ad-card a double-back-card. This way we can use the cut version for magic tricks and on the uncut sheets we still can see the amazing artwork if we hang it on our Walls. Also I'm missing the Suicide King reference on the New King of Hearts. But big props for Changing it.
Hey Peter, so this is an idea for your deck, the “advertisement” cards that are usually included in a standard deck of bicycle cards, I’m sure we would all love a little bio card of yourself and info graphic about this love project, but also, a lot of magician decks have gaff cards as an extra card in the deck so you could do something like a double backed card or something along those lines?
This has turned into a MUST-HAVE collectors item! Since Kickstarter has goals you can add to your campaign, I was thinking maybe you can have skateboard decks as one of your goal rewards?! The art of your court cards would make sick skateboard decks. Maybe have 4 versions even (one for each suit)??! LOVE this protect my man!
My dumb brain: is a skateboard deck a type of playing card deck I am unfamiliar with. Like a deck you don't mind getting dirty or a deck with Skateboarder characters. (Pause to think). Oh! A skateboard deck! *facepalm.
I'm completely with you! I'd love to collect and display the boards, maybe even skate them from time to time! Edit: Another goal reward could be the uncut sheets to also display them!
Last time I ordered skateboard decks there was a worldwide skateboard shortage +covid and it took like 10 months for me to get them. I don’t know if things have changed since then, but it was a crazy long wait.
Only thing about the new King of Hearts is that it doens't tie in with the Queen and Jack as much as the other pairs does. You still have the very "spade specific" blue, and not much of the "heart specific" red, if you know what I mean. Other than that - this deck of card is going to be dope af!
An idea for your next big project... I'd love to see how you'd design a chess set. Seeing your character art in little 3D chess pieces would be so awesome! You could even do little spray paint can men for the pawns!
Yooo this would be sick. It would be very different too. He'd have to design them while keeping in mine they are going to be 3D objects which would be very interesting to see. He could get someone to model and print them too so he can paint them. Awesome idea!
I thought the idea was to avoid having ink at the edges of the card so that one couldn't tell what card it was by just looking at the edges. So wouldn't you have to modify the interconnected pip design to avoid having the image go directly to the edges of the cards?
I was thinking the printing on the edge would be an issue as well. Dropping a border is a good solution. There is some really great detail that gets close to the edge so border size will matter…food for thought.
I feel like the new heart king's clothes stand out compared to the queen and the jack. Other cards seem to have more cohesion when it comes to that. Overall, loving the project. People have been very creative with you as well when it comes to ides. Glad you could make everything work.
I really appreciate how you took into consideration the comments about the King of Spades. I didn't know that either but it is super dope that you changed it without loosing your personal narrative with it. I am new to your channel and this made me happy to be a subscriber.
Hi! When you showed all the cards together I realized something: the seven of diamonds and the seven of spades have a much larger illustration than the other two. By having much more visual information, when we see all the cards together they will not look harmonious. My recommendation is that all seven cards have a large illustration compared to the other numbers since 7 is the lucky number. Cheers!
Man I am so glad someone reached out about the Spades king… I’m from the south…. Down here, that’s definitely a thing, and would definitely have been noticed. Excellent choice.
The fact that you listened about the spade thing shows you a real one! I had no problem with it, I actually loved it, but I did notice it! I can see how some people could take it the wrong way but as a black man I loved it! Either way we here til the wheels fall off then we pushing!
Same here… I knew it, wasn’t bothered, LOVED THE ART, but knew some may have been upset by it. But I LOVE that your solution was “let’s get rid of the mediocre” instead of “let’s get rid of the black dude” And the secret jokers send me!
I had no idea about that term. But when he started talking about it, I was thinking, 'Don't get rid of the black king, he's one of my favorites!' So glad he got rid of the 'meh' king of hearts instead. ❤
Hi guys - I didn't know of this, but I was wondering if it isn't even more racist to exclude black people from being the king of spades due to the wording?
I’m not sure if anyone has mentioned this. But Subitising is an important skill gained through playing cards. It allows you to look at a formation of symbols and recognise their sum on sight. By moving the pips to be asymmetrical it affects this playing aspect of your deck
An idea for the Uncut Deck layout is that the "ten row" is in the middle dividing the Spades and Diamonds from the Clubs and Hearts. And then maybe ordered in AD, Joker, 10S, 10D, 10C, 10H, Joker, AD. As a way to centralized and emphasize the 10s. Thats if you can specify the layout but otherwise absolutely love this project can't wait to get my hands on this deck!
Ooh yeah! Especially if it could be organized so that the extra jack of spades is next to the ten of spades. It would be really cool for the tens to be the center cards in the sheet (so the AD cards to one side and the jokers to the other)
Man, this is next-level. Looking forward to getting my hands on a pack or two. I know a young magician who would love these. I’m a middle-aged black dude, so I’m acquainted with the Old Slurs. I definitely noticed the King of Spades. I wasn’t offended or anything but I was hoping you wouldn’t catch any grief over it. For what it’s worth, I think the change works and the deck is stronger for it. Keep creating.
Just a thought. I remember that you didn't want to do a full bleed because it causes chipping on the cards. But on some of the number cards, there is art that goes to the edge of the cards to make the art go-between cards. Is that going to cause issues with chipping or?
For the ad card maybe you could just do a double back for magic tricks and so you can see the back design on the uncut sheet. You could also do a thank you card or something along those lines. Also maybe on the tuck case you could have each deck numbered considering that they will probably be limited quantity, i think that would be really cool and make each deck unique.
Very tactful and professional way to address a sensitive issue. Respect, man. Can't wait to get my hands on a quality product put out by an artist who values his audience. 👍
Cards with a back then one that turns around us one of my favorite tricks to do. Thank you so much for making that duplicate card. Another ad card that would be great is a double backer (back on both sides) it makes tricks super fun and easy possible especially for starting magicians
This has been one of my favorite projects. SO MUCH ART. and such a deep dive into the process, and even your frustrations, and victories! And it’s totally paying off 🤘🔥
For the adcard: what about a QR code leading to 4 short tales that give backround to each kingdom? Maybe along with some digital art? Or even an audiofile with tenhun himself telling those stories? There is so much thought going into the whole designprocess and every single suit! Would be another layer to explor among all those details!
It would be awesome to have an add card be a character actually playing the seeing the back design fanned out, and framing the bottom of the character with a hand of cards from your deck like you are playing with that character and looking over the cards. You could even have the watched sitting on the head or shoulder helping in the game. I love these cards!! Making a custom deck is something I’ve always wanted to do so seeing your awesome art coming to life on cards is so dope
Your changes look wonderful. I like that the pip characters interact. The 7 of spades is the only pip that seems a bit discordant. The snake spills over only tiny bits on 2 sides. It might need to shrink a tiny bit to fit better or expand to flow out more. Loving this design and your process. 🧡🧡🧡
There is a similar issue with the archer in the heart's artwork. The trajectory of the arrows can be seen on some of the other cards' corners and/or edges. When seen individually I can see how it would appear confusing. Keep up the amazing work though, I can't wait to get my hands on a pair!
The fact as a creator is who literally take the time to consider the racial sensitivity of certain art or meanings to a culture. Is a level of respect that is truly unmatched by anyone I have seen. This is why you have the community you do. Mad respect on Lvl 100. 👏🏾
Now I want you to tell Chris Ramsey about the magic trick idea, get him to come up with him and send him a deck to do it. Then he can teach people how to do the trick so you can get in some more advertising that way!
Second Ad Card Idea: Chelsea as a playing card. Because she is the hidden 5th queen who keeps everything running Or: A Love letter to art, to chelsea, to Juniper, to the community, to your employees and all the thing you are greatful for in life
I think the king swap works really well! I just think that he's still heavily thematically tied to your spade suit (mysterious and magical) so dropping it into the hearts suit makes him seem a little out of place. Even something as simple as changing the moon phases to hearts or something of the like could go a long way! You also took a lot of care in making sure the original king of hearts payed homage to the knife in head. Maybe you could consider tying that back in here. Super great work as always!
@@addie6434 in the original king of hearts art he included a little smiley sceptre with a tiny knife stuck in it. I was thinking something more along those lines
Hey! I totally get the change in the king of hearts/spades but the previous king of hearts had the special detail of king of hearts. He had the little head with the sword in it on the swords pummel. You should totally add something similar to the new king of hearts. Love this stuff!
Imagine a mashup with this whole Grid of cards thing interacting with each other + the biggest art collab like they did before? Each artist does his thing in one card with a bit of the next one... the next artist needs to do the next card taking the bit left from the one before him and so on...... We would have not only a SIIICK deck of cards but also a full print art when the cards are put together. OMG!!! Would be so awesooooome!!!!
the only thing i’m missing from the original king of hearts is the reference to the “suicide king”, maybe you could include that in the new king of hearts??
@@syksyd17 you are everywhere in this comment section coming at people!and sometimes not comprehending what people are writing. English is not my main language. And I understood that majority of the people you replied to havent said anything wrong at all. So please if you have to read it 4-5 to understand the meaning of the comment please do so instead of commenting. You are being rude to people you dont know. People who are agreeing with the card change. And glad he is educating himself instead of ignoring others oppinions.
The old King of hearts looks like he might make a good joker ( give him a costume change)? This project is so amazingly awesome!!! Can't wait to order some!!!!! The number cards are absolutely amazing!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing this project with us all!!
Love the switch-up! It's great that you take these things not lightly. However, I think some small modifications should take place with regards to the new king of hearts. There is no reference any more to the stabbing king, which I find a pity. So changing the position of the sword or adding another Stabby McGee would be awesome. To me, the clothing style also doesn't fully match the queen and jack of hearts, but I think that might get fixed with changing some patterns and fringes (I think this is the right word for those loose ends at the side of clothing) left and right.
I’ve loved this journey! May I point out the number cards in spades characters are very large compared to the rest of the characters on the other suites. I’m not sure of it was intentional but just seems to be not cohesive. Can’t wait to buy these cards! Love you!!
Hey Ten Hundred! Love your work on this series so far. This is just a random idea I thought might be cool, but you could make a few (like 10-20) original pieces on these little card-sized papers and slip them into random decks of cards for some lucky buyers to get a small Ten Hun original. Keep up the great work, cant wait to see that final result!
I’ve heard of the term “spade” and wondered if I should say something. I’m relieved someone did. I know you had no idea of it’s origin. Love that you kept the king and shifted him to hearts. This deck is getting more and more amazing.
I was wondering about that, too. Personally, I was hoping he'd keep it to help redefine that term (turn in from a slur to a powerful term), but I understand why he changed it. As someone mentioned though...now it's missing the "suicide" king reference, which I miss as well.
I did NOT expect the numbered cards with the characters interacting with the deck to be my favorite but I'm OBSESSED with those grids. Seriously amazing.
Bro you are a real one for switching the king of spades bro!! As a HUGE black fan of yours I know you had 0 bad intent from the jump, and im soooooo happy you decided to still keep him in the set. You are the one Mr. Hun!!!!
I think the 2nd ad card should be a representation of all of us that have collaborated. I don't know how you can illustrate something like that, but maybe a medieval plaza full of people and a king maybe on a podium reading a scroll.
I would hope that the number cards don't have that spillover effect where you can tell what cards someone is holding because I think the design looks totally dope! 😍
I think the final ad card should be a family self portrait! Of you, Chelsea, Georgie and of course your daughter. We’ve been with you since the beginning and we’ve seen your amazing family grow, it would be awesome to have a part you physically in the deck! ♥️love this project, I really hope I can order it in South Africa when the Kickstarter goes off
I love the new designs, they look sick. The hearts number cards are my favourite because the pips on them are more or less in their regular positions much more than the other three suits. I think it's cooler cause the designs work around the pips and make the card look less awkward.
I think the king of spades is great. I’m black and had no idea there was some weird history regarding that and I don’t find that to really be relevant in 2021. If anything turning it into a regal character actually could be a defiant and deliberate way of undermining what used to be a slur.
I love the name of Vivid Kingdoms. I think you’ve demonstrated them individually super well. The last ad card might be cool to draw a map of the kingdoms to bring them all together and add more to the story 👍🏻
At first I wasn't too fond of the idea of the characters interacting with the pips... But when I saw them finished I was in awe!!!! Such a cool design Ten Hun!!!! I can't wait to get my deck! 🔥
I love the change of the kings I think the blue on his clothes contrast nicely for the red and stick him out from the rest of the hearts and to me gives a feeling of higher royalty super kind of you to consider the dm’s and messages. You’ve done so much to get this deck out cannot wait to get my hands on this deck.
Can we all just appreciate the fact that Ten Hundred actually reads everyone's comments and feedback. On top of that he makes conscious decisions to change his work based on 'stranger's' feedback. This is what makes this project so amazing. This deck is now dubbed "The people's cards"
Wow - you’re fearless!!! Adding more and more complexity with the number cards on an already huge project like that - I really admire those bold moves! And very sensible to switch the kings, they look awesome 👍
In my opinion, I prefer how the pips are in the heart cards because the actual hearts are in the simmetrical positions of a normal deck and the characters arent in the way, in some cards its difficult to see how many pips are and the characters take too much protagonism, just a constructive criticism, I love the deck ❤️
Really like how you made the black man the king of hearts, I think it displays the idea of the Channel not including any hate to anyone and it’s really all about love and kindness. I think the heart symbol really represents that well
Maybe you could do an "Art Saved Me" as an add card. Or even an "unmasked" Watcher. Not sure what either of those would look like, but I think it'd be cool.
This whole series felt like an special episode like “preciously on ten hundred” … all I gotta say is awesome and dope brother can’t wait what’s the finish product.
Thank you for changing your king of spades! As a black viewer I really appreciate it! However the rest of the heart face cards lack the similar shading & intricacy that makes it cohesive. Love the process! Can’t wait to order my deck!
Oooooo I love your idea @Loe to add a bit of shading and intricacy into the queen and jack of hearts! The king of hearts is one of the best cards in the deck, and it'd be amazing to see the queen and jack get a mini glow up. Nothing drastic needed, just a bit more detail and drama to fit with the more recently designed card art.
Hey Peter, Loving the card series. I've always wanted to design my own, but it's quite a daunting prospect. So for now, I'll live vicariously through you. I also really appreciate the consideration you maintain towards your viewers and, your constant display of a healthy moral compass when it comes to respecting all walks of life. Can't wait to see the finished product!
I really like the new King of hearts, but the one thing I liked about the last one was that it had an homage to the “suicide king,” it would be cool if you could add that to this one too.
i respect the way you listen to your audience so much! it’s really so cool. listening to people’s opinion about the art is one thing but also being upfront about concerns people had about the king was appreciated.
When you talked about the comments (3) regarding the king of spades, I have to say that I had a similar reaction as the commenters. I'm happy to see that you just didn't delete the character and instead decided to reset him. On another note, just a couple more notes: 1: should the flags on the castle be a different color than the catapult that's shooting at it? 2: is this combined art of the pips diminished when you account for the white space that should be at the edge of the cards, that you mentioned in pervious updates. I did notice some pips and key details that would possibly be cut off. 3: the additional card could be a double back. Thanks for reading, enjoying this series.
So happy!!! Just grabbed my cup of coffee.l. Can’t wait to see the final results! PLEASE make shirts or hoodie to go along with these cards… it will be sick!
Thank you for the transparency and consideration with feedback about changing the king of spades. You amplify growth and learning as a community by walking your audience through that, and it’s much appreciated!
On the "Spades" thing. (One of your black fans) I think the change is awesome! I actually never knew until now about how it could be considered a slur. But still cool for addressing it real quick. That being said, this project is so hype, looking forward to getting a deck and figuring out how to display them on my wall haha.
Pleasseee keep the King of Spades/Hearts. I, as a black man with dreadlocks appreciate this card so much! Honestly, this is the reason why I would spent money on a Deck of Cards. Thank you for even talking about this. Love you Ten Hun you are amazing!
I was thinking this as well [referring to the Spade King card.], but KNEW that you meant no harm by it. I did feel like it could be taken a bit wrong and out of context. For those people that love art, but may not know YOU as a person/personality on RUclips, I can see how this would be a big issue. It's AWESOME that you were astute enough and sensitive enough to make this change. Thank you! My father and I played cards all the time and I LOVE specialized card, and after he passed, I've been thinking of making a set in his honor. This series has been SUPREMELY helpful. I love your art and have been a big fan for a while, bro!
Good call on the King of Spades. Not a common term here, but I have heard it before - probably in books or movies? Deck actually looks better with the character switch up, so it works out.
Every time you do a video of this project it gets more elevated…makes me more excited to see how when they’re done being made I can get my hands on a deck. Well done
Awesome work TenHun! Just a few considerations :) Remember that with the designs you have going on with the number cards, with the art spreading across multiple cards, there is room for picking... for example, in the spades, you have a massive basilisk, that spreads between a few cards... seeing the blueish colour by the side of the card could potentially give away the value of the card and favour cheating, unfortunately :( Also, in my opinion (and also historical cards have this feature), a thinner border on the back of the cards can be a sign of higher value, higher prestige of the deck, so maybe try implementing it, also because your back design isn't much heavy on colour and isn't therefore at risk of ink bleeding. It would also be very cool to put a double back card as well as the double jack of spades and to have a "motivational catchphrase" on the joker (see Orbit's tuck case for a reference, I love that type of thing), maybe something also along the lines of Alice in Wonderland since your deck is full of little worlds with hierarchy and such Last thing, with the bean plant on your diamond cards, don't the spades remind you more of a leaf? I mean, they do to me. But anyway, this is all nit-picking, amazing art!!! Hope that this helps :)
This project is amazing and it’s been awesome to see your full process. I think the second ad card should link to a full documentary on the making of the deck. It would be a cool way for your fans to share your other work when they are showing off the deck.
I just wanted to say that you listening to 3 fans out of 1000’s and hearing their concerns, and then changing this project to fix a concern is fuckin amazing and not a lot of people would have done that. Today you earned my respect hardcore man and I cannot wait to purchase this deck.
I’m really impressed and appreciative of how you handled the spades issue. I had no idea either, but I completely agree with making the change and it actually worked out well. The new king of spades is awesome! My only thought is the center around the hand holding the sword is a bit busy. Took me awhile to visually register what was happening there. Any way to darken the body so the hand get a bit more separation? Or make the gloved hand a different color? Just a tiny bit of separation might be good. Anyway, awesome job as always! Can’t wait to get orders placed on Kickstarter!!
I think that the crossing number cards could have problems with bleed/chipping aswell as it has kinda abandoned the original pip interactions, the demonstration image was like lots of little charecters that all look the same on each card where as how you've done it it's been one big charecter per card with minimal interaction with the actual pips and it kinda makes the "special" cards feel less special
It blows my mind how deep you've gone with the back story and art for this project. I've seen ppl use spade in a derogatory way in like old mobster movies and I kind of thought that too. I knew you had no intention to use it that way, but it makes me respect you even more now that you've acknowledged the issue and fixed it. Stay safe homie 🤙
Amazing! I’m super excited!! Can’t wait to order! So CREATIVE! The suggestions were over the top and added a lot to the deck! Great job to those who contributed!!
The other add card could maybe show a map of where all the suit kingdoms are. You could do an old world treatment of the map (rose compass, scary sea creatures, etc)
This series is so insightful. Seeing your struggles, questions, problems and your ideas and workflow is fascinating. Thank you for bringing us closer to you.
Yo, the angle of the crossbow bolt out of the crossbow on the 6 of clubs is killing me! Could you have the guy raise the angle he is holding the crossbow? Also the scale of the sword and arm on the 8 of clubs bothers me. I love the diamonds and spaids they are just amazing! So well done
Soooo freaking excited for this !!!!!! Very much looking forward to getting my hands on some form of this deck !! Once this deck is complete and you ever get the itch to do something like this again, please consider doing a tarot card deck !! I think it would sell just as well and I think it would be really cool to see your take on those cards !! ❤️❤️
The cards are officially launched on Kickstarter! www.kickstarter.com/projects/tenhundred/vivid-kingdoms-playing-cards/rewards
I reeeaaaaalllly want to see a reaction video of you as you watch your Kickstarter go up and up.
So, only just watched this series over the last two days. I am so gutted that the kickstarter isn't firing out. You deserve so much better for the work you've put in mate. I've never wanted a deck of cards more. I'm backing on payday, 21st Feb 22. Maybe get the youtube community to plug it? This would be a joy to own. The concept is incredible, the community collab is revolutionary. You are something Ten. A true inspiration. Yeh bwoi, love from Nottingham U.K

I’m so glad you didn’t completely do away with the black character. When I saw him and noticed he was black, I thought it was so dope and that card immediately became my favorite. I personally kind of like the more mysterious look of the king of spades, and as a black woman I didn’t feel offended at all, but I understand why you changed it and I’m just glad he’s still in the deck.

Yeah it’s going to be a mixed bag of who’s offended and not. I don’t personally agree with your offense but don’t fault you for it. I think it was the safe and responsible decision as an ally and business owner.
Yeah I feel the same way Kaci Cates. I loved the card and had no idea about it being a racial slur. I’m glad he isn’t doing away with him
Yeah I was super glad he was in the spades suit that’s like the strongest suit bummer but this comment is too late lol
As a black woman, I wasn’t personally offended but I love that you to take time and care to listen to your fans. It’s great that you didn’t ditch the character on the king of spades altogether but you repurposed him for the king of hearts and it’s so much more dope. Alsooo love the 9 to 5 reference!

For the magicians please make one of the "ad" card a double backer (has the back design on both sides)
Please do!!
In this way, you can also see the back with the uncut sheets
I was thinking abt that
I agree... A Double Back Gaff Card would be great
Was coming here to suggest a double back for the other ad card for both the magic reason and uncut design display reason. So glad so many else thought this.
this is the coolest shniz ever
Thank you brotha
i think all youtube artists should make their cards, so we can collect them ^^
It really is ♠️♥️♣️♦️
I would buy a slew playing card deck. Just saying.
Please make the last Ad-card a double-back-card. This way we can use the cut version for magic tricks and on the uncut sheets we still can see the amazing artwork if we hang it on our Walls.
Also I'm missing the Suicide King reference on the New King of Hearts. But big props for Changing it.
I honestly thought the same, though maybe this is the time to change also that nickname?
Same
Yes this comment^^
@@chaos_monster......no
That’s actually a really good idea and would be really easy for him to do.
Hey Peter, so this is an idea for your deck, the “advertisement” cards that are usually included in a standard deck of bicycle cards, I’m sure we would all love a little bio card of yourself and info graphic about this love project, but also, a lot of magician decks have gaff cards as an extra card in the deck so you could do something like a double backed card or something along those lines?
This has turned into a MUST-HAVE collectors item!
Since Kickstarter has goals you can add to your campaign, I was thinking maybe you can have skateboard decks as one of your goal rewards?! The art of your court cards would make sick skateboard decks. Maybe have 4 versions even (one for each suit)??!
LOVE this protect my man!
My dumb brain: is a skateboard deck a type of playing card deck I am unfamiliar with. Like a deck you don't mind getting dirty or a deck with Skateboarder characters. (Pause to think). Oh! A skateboard deck! *facepalm.
I'm completely with you! I'd love to collect and display the boards, maybe even skate them from time to time!
Edit: Another goal reward could be the uncut sheets to also display them!
it was before he started lol
Make it a snowboard winter is coming Xd
Last time I ordered skateboard decks there was a worldwide skateboard shortage +covid and it took like 10 months for me to get them. I don’t know if things have changed since then, but it was a crazy long wait.
As an black man, I never knew that about the “spades” situation; I was stoked to see an black character LoL!
Right?
Same!
Agree!
Only thing about the new King of Hearts is that it doens't tie in with the Queen and Jack as much as the other pairs does. You still have the very "spade specific" blue, and not much of the "heart specific" red, if you know what I mean. Other than that - this deck of card is going to be dope af!
This is super well spotted.. totally agreed… like it’s fine how it is… but now that I see it, I can’t unsee it.
it's not a suicide king. He's not matching the theme of the suite as he was born from another suite.
@@frankevans287 then maybe he should have the old king of hearts crown and scepter. The one that indicates the suicidal king. Crowns are taken.
@@frankevans287 ok now THAT would be cool
The new king of hearts should maybe also keep the easter eggs about being called the "suicide king"
An idea for your next big project... I'd love to see how you'd design a chess set. Seeing your character art in little 3D chess pieces would be so awesome! You could even do little spray paint can men for the pawns!
I love this idea! That would be dope
Yooo this would be sick. It would be very different too. He'd have to design them while keeping in mine they are going to be 3D objects which would be very interesting to see. He could get someone to model and print them too so he can paint them. Awesome idea!
Yea!
I thought the idea was to avoid having ink at the edges of the card so that one couldn't tell what card it was by just looking at the edges. So wouldn't you have to modify the interconnected pip design to avoid having the image go directly to the edges of the cards?
I was thinking about that too!
I assumed he'd just drop a border around them and just accept that part of the drawing was covered, we'd still see the implied connections?
I agree. Also for magic purposes, you could flash a lot with out the white border.
I was thinking the printing on the edge would be an issue as well. Dropping a border is a good solution. There is some really great detail that gets close to the edge so border size will matter…food for thought.
I feel like the new heart king's clothes stand out compared to the queen and the jack. Other cards seem to have more cohesion when it comes to that.
Overall, loving the project. People have been very creative with you as well when it comes to ides. Glad you could make everything work.
Earlier in the Series you mentioned "chipping or bleed" on the edge, won't that be a problem with the Number Cards?
Was wondering the same 🤔
Just came here to say this, I love love love the way he's done them so I really hope it's not going to be a problem!
Doing it this way also makes me wonder if you’d be able to I’d the cards by the edges too. Maybe a thin white border?
They will probably be cut so you can't see the bleed. It's just the general design that crosses over that far.
He just designed it like that, when he put the number cards back in the spread they had a bleed border like the face cards
I really appreciate how you took into consideration the comments about the King of Spades. I didn't know that either but it is super dope that you changed it without loosing your personal narrative with it. I am new to your channel and this made me happy to be a subscriber.
Hi! When you showed all the cards together I realized something: the seven of diamonds and the seven of spades have a much larger illustration than the other two. By having much more visual information, when we see all the cards together they will not look harmonious. My recommendation is that all seven cards have a large illustration compared to the other numbers since 7 is the lucky number. Cheers!
Definitely agree!
@@Eliza-xd5ck thanks Eliza!!!
Man I am so glad someone reached out about the Spades king… I’m from the south…. Down here, that’s definitely a thing, and would definitely have been noticed. Excellent choice.
The fact that you listened about the spade thing shows you a real one! I had no problem with it, I actually loved it, but I did notice it! I can see how some people could take it the wrong way but as a black man I loved it! Either way we here til the wheels fall off then we pushing!
Same. I noticed, but wasn't really "bothered." I figured he was just unaware. I love the character and I'm glad that he kept him.
Same here… I knew it, wasn’t bothered, LOVED THE ART, but knew some may have been upset by it.
But I LOVE that your solution was “let’s get rid of the mediocre” instead of “let’s get rid of the black dude”
And the secret jokers send me!
I had no idea about that term. But when he started talking about it, I was thinking, 'Don't get rid of the black king, he's one of my favorites!' So glad he got rid of the 'meh' king of hearts instead. ❤
Same AF
Hi guys - I didn't know of this, but I was wondering if it isn't even more racist to exclude black people from being the king of spades due to the wording?
I’m not sure if anyone has mentioned this. But Subitising is an important skill gained through playing cards. It allows you to look at a formation of symbols and recognise their sum on sight. By moving the pips to be asymmetrical it affects this playing aspect of your deck
An idea for the Uncut Deck layout is that the "ten row" is in the middle dividing the Spades and Diamonds from the Clubs and Hearts. And then maybe ordered in AD, Joker, 10S, 10D, 10C, 10H, Joker, AD.
As a way to centralized and emphasize the 10s.
Thats if you can specify the layout but otherwise absolutely love this project can't wait to get my hands on this deck!
Ooh yeah! Especially if it could be organized so that the extra jack of spades is next to the ten of spades. It would be really cool for the tens to be the center cards in the sheet (so the AD cards to one side and the jokers to the other)
This is a dope idea!
I love this!
Such a great idea!!
Man, this is next-level. Looking forward to getting my hands on a pack or two. I know a young magician who would love these.
I’m a middle-aged black dude, so I’m acquainted with the Old Slurs. I definitely noticed the King of Spades. I wasn’t offended or anything but I was hoping you wouldn’t catch any grief over it. For what it’s worth, I think the change works and the deck is stronger for it.
Keep creating.
Just a thought. I remember that you didn't want to do a full bleed because it causes chipping on the cards. But on some of the number cards, there is art that goes to the edge of the cards to make the art go-between cards. Is that going to cause issues with chipping or?
Or cheating
Don’t know if this would too big/similar of a project, but a tarot deck designed by you would be incredibly dope
I was thinking that!!!!
that would be sick
That would be so ducking dope
I plan on using this deck for cartomancy/tarot.
Hell yeah!!
For the ad card maybe you could just do a double back for magic tricks and so you can see the back design on the uncut sheet. You could also do a thank you card or something along those lines. Also maybe on the tuck case you could have each deck numbered considering that they will probably be limited quantity, i think that would be really cool and make each deck unique.
I like this idea. Being able to see the back of the card on the uncut sheet is a solid idea
For the last add card, keep it simple, it’s the art that is in the back of the cards. That way the art is visible for the uncut art sheets.
commenting for bump
Very tactful and professional way to address a sensitive issue. Respect, man. Can't wait to get my hands on a quality product put out by an artist who values his audience. 👍
I hope when everything is settled down you'll consider releasing prints and or shirts of some of the cards. I love them.
YES. This would be AWESOME. 💖
seems like I'm gonna go in debt to buy a whole ass deck of clothes, if this happens lol
Yes please! All of the character cards!
And on the back of the shirts, the back of the cards! :D
Cards with a back then one that turns around us one of my favorite tricks to do. Thank you so much for making that duplicate card. Another ad card that would be great is a double backer (back on both sides) it makes tricks super fun and easy possible especially for starting magicians
This has been one of my favorite projects. SO MUCH ART. and such a deep dive into the process, and even your frustrations, and victories! And it’s totally paying off 🤘🔥
I love how he keep himself accountable, and comes to us with a solucion.
Ur doing an amaizing project! I'm so existed to get the full set!
For the adcard: what about a QR code leading to 4 short tales that give backround to each kingdom? Maybe along with some digital art? Or even an audiofile with tenhun himself telling those stories?
There is so much thought going into the whole designprocess and every single suit!
Would be another layer to explor among all those details!
It would be awesome to have an add card be a character actually playing the seeing the back design fanned out, and framing the bottom of the character with a hand of cards from your deck like you are playing with that character and looking over the cards. You could even have the watched sitting on the head or shoulder helping in the game. I love these cards!! Making a custom deck is something I’ve always wanted to do so seeing your awesome art coming to life on cards is so dope
Your changes look wonderful. I like that the pip characters interact. The 7 of spades is the only pip that seems a bit discordant. The snake spills over only tiny bits on 2 sides. It might need to shrink a tiny bit to fit better or expand to flow out more. Loving this design and your process. 🧡🧡🧡
@@tonylasagna3991 remembers perhaps
There is a similar issue with the archer in the heart's artwork. The trajectory of the arrows can be seen on some of the other cards' corners and/or edges. When seen individually I can see how it would appear confusing. Keep up the amazing work though, I can't wait to get my hands on a pair!
@@jmurillo7922 Yup, Patreon members have early access. I get this sort of question almost weekly. 😁
The fact as a creator is who literally take the time to consider the racial sensitivity of certain art or meanings to a culture. Is a level of respect that is truly unmatched by anyone I have seen. This is why you have the community you do. Mad respect on Lvl 100. 👏🏾
Now I want you to tell Chris Ramsey about the magic trick idea, get him to come up with him and send him a deck to do it. Then he can teach people how to do the trick so you can get in some more advertising that way!
I thought exactly the same thing! Chris should have a whole episode where he does special tricks with this deck. :)
Second Ad Card Idea:
Chelsea as a playing card. Because she is the hidden 5th queen who keeps everything running
Or:
A Love letter to art, to chelsea, to Juniper, to the community, to your employees and all the thing you are greatful for in life
Chelsea and Juniper can both be the Jokers
I think the king swap works really well! I just think that he's still heavily thematically tied to your spade suit (mysterious and magical) so dropping it into the hearts suit makes him seem a little out of place. Even something as simple as changing the moon phases to hearts or something of the like could go a long way! You also took a lot of care in making sure the original king of hearts payed homage to the knife in head. Maybe you could consider tying that back in here. Super great work as always!
knife in the head?... hmm so instead of a racial slur, he's committing suicide. I don't know if that's much better
@@addie6434 in the original king of hearts art he included a little smiley sceptre with a tiny knife stuck in it. I was thinking something more along those lines
Thank you so much for keeping our black king! You are so considerate and I can't wait to purchase these cards. Bless up 🙏🏾
Hey! I totally get the change in the king of hearts/spades but the previous king of hearts had the special detail of king of hearts. He had the little head with the sword in it on the swords pummel. You should totally add something similar to the new king of hearts. Love this stuff!
I agree, what would be even better is if he brought back the old king of hearts instead.
Imagine a mashup with this whole Grid of cards thing interacting with each other + the biggest art collab like they did before? Each artist does his thing in one card with a bit of the next one... the next artist needs to do the next card taking the bit left from the one before him and so on...... We would have not only a SIIICK deck of cards but also a full print art when the cards are put together. OMG!!! Would be so awesooooome!!!!
the only thing i’m missing from the original king of hearts is the reference to the “suicide king”, maybe you could include that in the new king of hearts??
No, cuz that would be disrespectful to black people
@@syksyd17 how would that be disrespectful?
@@syksyd17 you are everywhere in this comment section coming at people!and sometimes not comprehending what people are writing. English is not my main language. And I understood that majority of the people you replied to havent said anything wrong at all. So please if you have to read it 4-5 to understand the meaning of the comment please do so instead of commenting. You are being rude to people you dont know. People who are agreeing with the card change. And glad he is educating himself instead of ignoring others oppinions.
The original had the dagger in his sceptre as the reference, but it is missing in the new king of hearts.
@@syksyd17 ???
The old King of hearts looks like he might make a good joker ( give him a costume change)? This project is so amazingly awesome!!! Can't wait to order some!!!!! The number cards are absolutely amazing!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing this project with us all!!
Love the switch-up! It's great that you take these things not lightly. However, I think some small modifications should take place with regards to the new king of hearts. There is no reference any more to the stabbing king, which I find a pity. So changing the position of the sword or adding another Stabby McGee would be awesome. To me, the clothing style also doesn't fully match the queen and jack of hearts, but I think that might get fixed with changing some patterns and fringes (I think this is the right word for those loose ends at the side of clothing) left and right.
I’ve loved this journey!
May I point out the number cards in spades characters are very large compared to the rest of the characters on the other suites. I’m not sure of it was intentional but just seems to be not cohesive.
Can’t wait to buy these cards! Love you!!
The other ad cart could be Georgie playing a with the deck or something, I would love to see Georgie in the deck! :)
I love that you kept the black character but changed it to Hearts. It's one of my favorite characters in the whole deck!
Hey Ten Hundred! Love your work on this series so far. This is just a random idea I thought might be cool, but you could make a few (like 10-20) original pieces on these little card-sized papers and slip them into random decks of cards for some lucky buyers to get a small Ten Hun original. Keep up the great work, cant wait to see that final result!
Biggest art collab video then this series, Back to back epic videos!
I'm a magician, and instantly thought about using the cards as part of a trick when I saw the last episode, thanks for building the feature out more.
I love what you've done with the pip cards; but now almost every single one of them can be ID'd by the edge of the card.
I’ve heard of the term “spade” and wondered if I should say something. I’m relieved someone did. I know you had no idea of it’s origin. Love that you kept the king and shifted him to hearts. This deck is getting more and more amazing.
I was wondering about that, too. Personally, I was hoping he'd keep it to help redefine that term (turn in from a slur to a powerful term), but I understand why he changed it. As someone mentioned though...now it's missing the "suicide" king reference, which I miss as well.
I did NOT expect the numbered cards with the characters interacting with the deck to be my favorite but I'm OBSESSED with those grids. Seriously amazing.
Bro you are a real one for switching the king of spades bro!! As a HUGE black fan of yours I know you had 0 bad intent from the jump, and im soooooo happy you decided to still keep him in the set. You are the one Mr. Hun!!!!
I think the 2nd ad card should be a representation of all of us that have collaborated. I don't know how you can illustrate something like that, but maybe a medieval plaza full of people and a king maybe on a podium reading a scroll.
I would hope that the number cards don't have that spillover effect where you can tell what cards someone is holding because I think the design looks totally dope! 😍
I think the final ad card should be a family self portrait! Of you, Chelsea, Georgie and of course your daughter. We’ve been with you since the beginning and we’ve seen your amazing family grow, it would be awesome to have a part you physically in the deck! ♥️love this project, I really hope I can order it in South Africa when the Kickstarter goes off
I love the new designs, they look sick. The hearts number cards are my favourite because the pips on them are more or less in their regular positions much more than the other three suits. I think it's cooler cause the designs work around the pips and make the card look less awkward.
I think the king of spades is great. I’m black and had no idea there was some weird history regarding that and I don’t find that to really be relevant in 2021. If anything turning it into a regal character actually could be a defiant and deliberate way of undermining what used to be a slur.
Tbh Twitter probably would’ve went ballistic
Some people just want to find something to be the white knight
Respect. ❤️
Love the changes and I cannot wait to see the finished product! I would LOVE to get my hands on the uncut sheet and have it framed.
im so glad you thought about the order of the cards for the uncut sheets! i can't wait to hang one up in my studio!
I love the name of Vivid Kingdoms. I think you’ve demonstrated them individually super well. The last ad card might be cool to draw a map of the kingdoms to bring them all together and add more to the story 👍🏻
Ooo, this is a super cool idea!
This would be sick!
At first I wasn't too fond of the idea of the characters interacting with the pips... But when I saw them finished I was in awe!!!! Such a cool design Ten Hun!!!! I can't wait to get my deck! 🔥
I love the change of the kings I think the blue on his clothes contrast nicely for the red and stick him out from the rest of the hearts and to me gives a feeling of higher royalty super kind of you to consider the dm’s and messages. You’ve done so much to get this deck out cannot wait to get my hands on this deck.
Can we all just appreciate the fact that Ten Hundred actually reads everyone's comments and feedback. On top of that he makes conscious decisions to change his work based on 'stranger's' feedback.
This is what makes this project so amazing. This deck is now dubbed "The people's cards"
Wow - you’re fearless!!! Adding more and more complexity with the number cards on an already huge project like that - I really admire those bold moves! And very sensible to switch the kings, they look awesome 👍
In my opinion, I prefer how the pips are in the heart cards because the actual hearts are in the simmetrical positions of a normal deck and the characters arent in the way, in some cards its difficult to see how many pips are and the characters take too much protagonism, just a constructive criticism, I love the deck ❤️
Really like how you made the black man the king of hearts, I think it displays the idea of the Channel not including any hate to anyone and it’s really all about love and kindness. I think the heart symbol really represents that well
Very inspiring!! Sooo many individual pieces of art to see this deck of cards come together!!
Maybe you could do an "Art Saved Me" as an add card. Or even an "unmasked" Watcher. Not sure what either of those would look like, but I think it'd be cool.
Ah, an unmasked Watcher could make for a cool joker card as well.
This whole series felt like an special episode like “preciously on ten hundred” … all I gotta say is awesome and dope brother can’t wait what’s the finish product.
Looking forward to the Kickstarter
Beautiful work!
Thank you for changing your king of spades! As a black viewer I really appreciate it! However the rest of the heart face cards lack the similar shading & intricacy that makes it cohesive. Love the process! Can’t wait to order my deck!
Oooooo I love your idea @Loe to add a bit of shading and intricacy into the queen and jack of hearts! The king of hearts is one of the best cards in the deck, and it'd be amazing to see the queen and jack get a mini glow up. Nothing drastic needed, just a bit more detail and drama to fit with the more recently designed card art.
Hey Peter, Loving the card series. I've always wanted to design my own, but it's quite a daunting prospect. So for now, I'll live vicariously through you. I also really appreciate the consideration you maintain towards your viewers and, your constant display of a healthy moral compass when it comes to respecting all walks of life. Can't wait to see the finished product!
I really like the new King of hearts, but the one thing I liked about the last one was that it had an homage to the “suicide king,” it would be cool if you could add that to this one too.
So you want blk people to commit suicide??
@@syksyd17 way to willfully misinterpret this comment
@@sevin3887 yeah, like the people complaining were misrepresenting the meaning of the original king of spades. It's called parody. Grow up.
@@syksyd17 you are adding your own meaning to it, no need for that
@@mg8642 no, I'm not. Where am I adding meaning?
i respect the way you listen to your audience so much! it’s really so cool. listening to people’s opinion about the art is one thing but also being upfront about concerns people had about the king was appreciated.
When you talked about the comments (3) regarding the king of spades, I have to say that I had a similar reaction as the commenters. I'm happy to see that you just didn't delete the character and instead decided to reset him. On another note, just a couple more notes: 1: should the flags on the castle be a different color than the catapult that's shooting at it? 2: is this combined art of the pips diminished when you account for the white space that should be at the edge of the cards, that you mentioned in pervious updates. I did notice some pips and key details that would possibly be cut off. 3: the additional card could be a double back. Thanks for reading, enjoying this series.
Looks fantastic! Amazing artwork! keep it up... 😍😍😍
So happy!!! Just grabbed my cup of coffee.l. Can’t wait to see the final results! PLEASE make shirts or hoodie to go along with these cards… it will be sick!
Omg yess please.. those face cards.. on hoodies.. I'm getting all restless thinking about it
Thank you for the transparency and consideration with feedback about changing the king of spades. You amplify growth and learning as a community by walking your audience through that, and it’s much appreciated!
On the "Spades" thing. (One of your black fans) I think the change is awesome! I actually never knew until now about how it could be considered a slur. But still cool for addressing it real quick. That being said, this project is so hype, looking forward to getting a deck and figuring out how to display them on my wall haha.
Pleasseee keep the King of Spades/Hearts. I, as a black man with dreadlocks appreciate this card so much! Honestly, this is the reason why I would spent money on a Deck of Cards. Thank you for even talking about this. Love you Ten Hun you are amazing!
My dude, your crushing this project. this is turning out so freakin good
Yes!
I was thinking this as well [referring to the Spade King card.], but KNEW that you meant no harm by it. I did feel like it could be taken a bit wrong and out of context. For those people that love art, but may not know YOU as a person/personality on RUclips, I can see how this would be a big issue. It's AWESOME that you were astute enough and sensitive enough to make this change. Thank you! My father and I played cards all the time and I LOVE specialized card, and after he passed, I've been thinking of making a set in his honor. This series has been SUPREMELY helpful. I love your art and have been a big fan for a while, bro!
Good call on the King of Spades. Not a common term here, but I have heard it before - probably in books or movies?
Deck actually looks better with the character switch up, so it works out.
In the ad cards maybe you can draw the 4 nation caracters together, drinking, having a good time.
A sides from that, the deck is SICK!!!!!
Every time you do a video of this project it gets more elevated…makes me more excited to see how when they’re done being made I can get my hands on a deck. Well done
Awesome work TenHun!
Just a few considerations :)
Remember that with the designs you have going on with the number cards, with the art spreading across multiple cards, there is room for picking... for example, in the spades, you have a massive basilisk, that spreads between a few cards... seeing the blueish colour by the side of the card could potentially give away the value of the card and favour cheating, unfortunately :(
Also, in my opinion (and also historical cards have this feature), a thinner border on the back of the cards can be a sign of higher value, higher prestige of the deck, so maybe try implementing it, also because your back design isn't much heavy on colour and isn't therefore at risk of ink bleeding.
It would also be very cool to put a double back card as well as the double jack of spades and to have a "motivational catchphrase" on the joker (see Orbit's tuck case for a reference, I love that type of thing), maybe something also along the lines of Alice in Wonderland since your deck is full of little worlds with hierarchy and such
Last thing, with the bean plant on your diamond cards, don't the spades remind you more of a leaf? I mean, they do to me.
But anyway, this is all nit-picking, amazing art!!!
Hope that this helps :)
This series is such a good watch. I can't remember when someone was so invested in a project.
Obsessed with this project. You could make the kicked out king a joker. Love your rad art!
This project is amazing and it’s been awesome to see your full process. I think the second ad card should link to a full documentary on the making of the deck. It would be a cool way for your fans to share your other work when they are showing off the deck.
I just wanted to say that you listening to 3 fans out of 1000’s and hearing their concerns, and then changing this project to fix a concern is fuckin amazing and not a lot of people would have done that. Today you earned my respect hardcore man and I cannot wait to purchase this deck.
I’m really impressed and appreciative of how you handled the spades issue. I had no idea either, but I completely agree with making the change and it actually worked out well. The new king of spades is awesome! My only thought is the center around the hand holding the sword is a bit busy. Took me awhile to visually register what was happening there. Any way to darken the body so the hand get a bit more separation? Or make the gloved hand a different color? Just a tiny bit of separation might be good. Anyway, awesome job as always! Can’t wait to get orders placed on Kickstarter!!
I think that the crossing number cards could have problems with bleed/chipping aswell as it has kinda abandoned the original pip interactions, the demonstration image was like lots of little charecters that all look the same on each card where as how you've done it it's been one big charecter per card with minimal interaction with the actual pips and it kinda makes the "special" cards feel less special
It blows my mind how deep you've gone with the back story and art for this project. I've seen ppl use spade in a derogatory way in like old mobster movies and I kind of thought that too. I knew you had no intention to use it that way, but it makes me respect you even more now that you've acknowledged the issue and fixed it. Stay safe homie 🤙
haha #cwlongbottom #mythicquest
Amazing! I’m super excited!! Can’t wait to order! So CREATIVE! The suggestions were over the top and added a lot to the deck! Great job to those who contributed!!
The other add card could maybe show a map of where all the suit kingdoms are. You could do an old world treatment of the map (rose compass, scary sea creatures, etc)
ooooh love this idea Charlotte!
I love that!! It would really tie into the story of the kingdoms. Or maybe he could make that as a print/t shirt afterwards!
I love the idea of making the map a print as well since it might be difficult to fit in all that detail in a single playing card :)
This series is so insightful. Seeing your struggles, questions, problems and your ideas and workflow is fascinating. Thank you for bringing us closer to you.
Yo, the angle of the crossbow bolt out of the crossbow on the 6 of clubs is killing me! Could you have the guy raise the angle he is holding the crossbow?
Also the scale of the sword and arm on the 8 of clubs bothers me.
I love the diamonds and spaids they are just amazing! So well done
Soooo freaking excited for this !!!!!! Very much looking forward to getting my hands on some form of this deck !! Once this deck is complete and you ever get the itch to do something like this again, please consider doing a tarot card deck !! I think it would sell just as well and I think it would be really cool to see your take on those cards !!
