Modernization of the Dondorf courts

Added 2023-10-12 16:02:01 +0000 UTC

For the Dondorf deck, which I released in 2021, I photographed and digitized the face cards of an old Dondorf deck from the late 19th century. The idea of the deck was to recreate everything as faithfully as possible. That's why I didn't draw the court cards from scratch at the time.

However, since 2021, my goal has been to redraw the courts to make them look like "modern" courts. So far I've had a few attempts but never pursued it simply because it's so incredibly time consuming, but now I've finally got the ball rolling.

There may be some details that need to be trimmed down, but my goal is to use these court cards for future releases - perhaps they will become the new standard Black Roses courts. At this point, however, that's just a thought. I need to see all the finished cards to decide that.

Much love
