Description

It's finally complete! This is a deck of 82 playing cards featuring ponies and cutie marks. There's one suit for each of the mane six's cutie mark (Apples, Balloons, Bolts, Flutters, Gems, and Sparkles), plus four jokers. Make sure to click the Download link for a 300-DPI PNG image of each individual card.

Major thanks to the vector artists who contributed to this project: , , , , and .

Q: Why 6 suits?
A: I couldn't decide on four suits. This way, the user can decide which four suits to use, or just bend the rules and use all six!

Q: Which suits are "red" and which suits are "black"?
A: Again, this is up to the user. My recommendation would be to use Apples, Flutters, and Sparkles as red suits, and Balloons, Bolts, and Gems as black (or blue, rather) suits.

Q: How can I buy these?
A: No plans yet on mass-producing these, as there are a lot of logistical and legal barriers to doing so (copyright concerns, plus the fact that I borrowed a good quantity of vectors from other artists) You are, however, welcome to print out your own copies for personal use.

Q: Okay, so how do I print these out?
A: You can try printing them out on card stock. You can probably find some at a craft store or an office supply store. If you don't have a decent printer, you can try getting them printed at Kinko's or some other copy store. There are also websites that will sell card stock specifically made for printing custom playing cards on (here is one such website [link] -- note that I have not ordered from this site yet and cannot vouch for them). I have not personally attempted to print these yet -- if you do print your own, please share your experience in the comments!

Q: Will you do a suit with (Celestia/Luna/insert other pony here)?
A: I might do a Celestia and/or Luna suit sometime down the road, but not any time soon. If I do, you can bet I'll post it on my deviantart account.

Update: Another brony did suits for Celestia and Luna, check them here !

The strings on the balloons are a bit thin and is easily missed, and the lighting rainbows aren't as bold as the other icons is you could simplify it or make it the lighting a bit bolder.

This is Awesome! Now all you need is the proper paper and to print all 6 suits.
I will look into printing my own.
I wish ideas like these reached Hasbro and that they would agree to produce these giving you a percentage of the profit.

You should have put Snips on one Joker card and Snails on the other.

Heh, I knew it went off the card but I didn't notice that it found its way into Rarity's card! Guess Pinkie Pie isn't the only one with fourth-wall-breaking powers.

Luckily that's just the preview image, Fluttershy's tail doesn't appear on the actual King of Gems.

currybowll In reply to mikey922 [2011-06-29 23:39:22 +0000 UTC]

The back is the pink MLP:FIM logo.

mikey922 In reply to currybowll [2011-06-29 23:42:46 +0000 UTC]

So print that card a lot and double tape that to the back

currybowll In reply to mikey922 [2011-06-30 00:37:09 +0000 UTC]

Or set up a grid and feed the paper back into the printer so it prints on the opposite side.
That'll probably be harder than taping them together.

Chromadancer In reply to Zekaire-Aquanimus [2011-06-29 23:13:33 +0000 UTC]

I couldn't decide on 4 suits, so I just did one for each mane character. Ultimately, it's up to the user to decide.

I might add suits for Celestia and Luna later...

i personally think it would've been great if you did the four suites as...
Earth Ponies, Unicorns, Pegasi, Alicorns.

With the jokes being snips/snails
