Selected conceptual sketches
After brainstorming several different styles of illustration, I decided to reference and learn from Disney's style of illustrations. Because I wanted the Jacks to carry across elements from the King and Queen of the same suite, I discovered very quickly that a large colour palette was necessary in order to create elements were each unique to their suite.

This passion project took much longer than I had originally anticipated, though I really did enjoy the process. I ran into challenges in ensuring unity between the illustrations, choosing a large colour palette, and deciding on what to put on the back of each card. I am satisfied with the final result though, and in the future, plan to have it printed as a physical card deck!
