[Hanzamonstas] Hanzamonstas Playing Cards: Sigil Deck
Posted: Fri Jan 02, 2026 8:43 pm
Hey all, just wanting to share the card designs for my new deck of playing cards: the Sigil Deck 
The Kickstarter will launch in March and I thought I'd get some feedback on the art as well as get word of the impending campaign out there. I'm currently designing my Kickstarter campaign so it'll be cool to get some feedback on how I can shape my new reward tiers. It is interesting being the little guy doing what the big designers and card companies are doing, wanting to create a collection worth backing with the limited resources I have.
My Kickstarter is shaping up to be one with a fantastical narrative. The custom items are the Sigil Deck (naturally), the Sentinel coin (a custom fidget coin), the Reliquary (a custom 3D printed deck holder), Talismans (a sticker pack), and Guardian Prints. The tiers are also named in a similar fashion with roles in the fantasy genre that I feel fit the rewards. It feels really overwhelming each and every time I do this, so any sort of feedback will be so welcome. I have yet to choose which design to create as Kickstarter-exclusive prints available for pledging; maybe I could put it up for voting here.
Bit about me: I'm an independent artist based in Melbourne, Australia. All my illustrations are traditionally inked on paper before I manipulate them digitally. After my Kickstarter campaigns, my cards are mostly sold at maker markets. I'd love to broaden my reach and meet other card enthusiasts and designers. (I'm also super new to forums and don't want to overshare so feel free to ask me questions! Already posted this in the wrong section yesterday :p)
For now, here is my diamond courts and cardback:
