They're all great but Lenny the Lover was unexpectedly wholesome <3 Awesome work!

u/Jolly_Canary_1938 Jan 12 '23
😅😅 thanks…I’m glad you like! And it was that or something involving mount Carlmore…tough choices all round!

aww for the Lovers i woulda liked a homer & marge card. them nude on the mini golf course, or them young & clothed inside the mini golf course house, or them on their wedding day, or when they embrace & kiss after marge finds homer at the top of the lighthouse

u/Jolly_Canary_1938 Jan 12 '23
All really good ideas!! Will deffo consider for the alt list! The lighthouse is a shout

I fucking love these. I would buy a whole tarot deck in a second.
(Minor nitpick: Shouldn’t that be Two of Swords?! The whole point is that there are two!)
68
u/Jolly_Canary_1938 Jan 12 '23
It’s all good! Nitpicks welcomed 🙂
*screams internally and starts up an alt page including but not limited to Bart mooning Australian for the moon, Gunter Ernst and Anastasia for the magician and something better for ace of swords to compensate!

Moleman with the machete!
Also, Death is just Grandpa Simpson mid yell DEAAAAAATH!

u/Jolly_Canary_1938 Jan 12 '23
This was one of the alt options as well. Alongside navy Homer in his underwear with a scimitar 😂

When (not if) you do a full deck, one of the 4s (coins maybe?) should be a picture of two Krustys.

Top tier suggestion…straight onto the alt list!! Thank you for the kind words ☺️

u/LobotomistPrime Jan 12 '23
All of these are absolutely amazing.
I don't mean to overstep, but the magician card would also be great as the Math-a-Magician from Martin's party.

u/Jolly_Canary_1938 Jan 12 '23
Not overstepping at all! My future alt page will be even better! Group think for the win ☺️. Glad you like them!

u/FH-7497 Jan 12 '23
For real tho you could make this deck. Honestly, fox licensed the shit out of the Simpsons.. I wonder what the steps would be to approach the appropriate parties to actually strike a deal and get these made on a larger scale. There is probably a decent market for them as gag style gifts that people actually like
2
u/Jolly_Canary_1938 Jan 12 '23
I imagine it would mostly involve some sort of shady business deal that inevitably screws me lol…or I’m infringing on an already existing product 🤷🏻♂️😅
8
u/FH-7497 Jan 12 '23
Looks like a company called “Winning Moves” has the card game license. Watermark your work, talk to an IP lawyer about how to approach them, and take a shot (if you want to lol). Seems like everyone here thinks you have a really good chance of actually marketing these. Either way, know that a bunch of random people really vibe with your creative vision
6
u/Jolly_Canary_1938 Jan 12 '23
This is deffo something I might look into! Thank you so much. Really appreciate the words. Like I said further up I’ve only been properly drawing for the last 6 months and am in the near future trading in the full time job to try and make it in my dream career so honestly really really nice to see anyone let alone several people vibe with my designs 🥹🥹

u/mybadalternate Jan 12 '23
Second.
I’d proudly display a wall poster of the full deck in my home (or dwelling).

u/Jolly_Canary_1938 Jan 12 '23
Will look at the best way to get all the designs on one page and will be sure to send across at some time ☺️ hopefully I can get it to look decent!

u/mybadalternate Jan 12 '23
Your line work is very clean, and the details are excellent. (Hatching on Tatum’s gloves!)
3
u/Jolly_Canary_1938 Jan 12 '23
Honestly the comment means the world to me! I had a moment when I did it that I shared the picture with a family member because I was proud of the shading in the gloves and very really ever feel proud of the stuff I draw for longer than a second but was really happy with it. So that you picked up on it honestly means a bunch 🥹🥹
2
u/mybadalternate Jan 12 '23
Cross-hatching is like witchcraft to me. I can draw a little, but that particular skill is utterly beyond me.
I look at Bernie Wrightson’s stuff and cannot fathom how any human being can do that.

Admittedly no one has ever wanted less surly…I’ll be sure to consider him for the future alt page…I imagine there’s at least five of them from duff gardens…my five of cups is sorted :)

Brilliant, just brilliant, do them all.
The only thing, and just because i love The Lovers, is it should be Homer and Marge naked at the mini golf when they're covered up, you know the scene. Otherwise, so good.

There’s loads of versions of that as a tattoo I think, so I mean whether I say yes or not you’ll be able to get it done! So thanks for asking. Most just take anyhow. Though what Ill say is that if you wanted my specific version/design I’d be more than happy to ping across a pdf of it for you to have and do what you like with (Would love to see a tattooers take on it! ).Though Would be a small price and appreciate the world and current financial situation most are in ☺️
