Playing Cards 01

New project I've decided to task myself with. I'm going to design my own playing cards. Kind of a sucker for Art Deco, so that's the direction I'm going with it.
   
Face cards will be hat-centric, with appropriate silhouettes of the people. Actually might go full-Gatsby on this. Need to re-read the book, but the movie is still fresh in my mind, and there's plenty of imagery out there. Might drop the hats/crowns. I only like the Heart here so far, and I want to make the Diamond radially non-symmetrical. I've collected a ton of Deco assets to draw from, I'll add some Luhrmann to the mix. I've started using a pomodoro tehnique app on my phone, so this is something that i can just throw one of those segments at every once in a while.
