We are glad to announce our newest project “Heroes of the Nations”. Considering the popularity of fantasy style movies and computer games nowadays, I believe this genre will appeal to many of you. For 2 years we have been creating the heroes of 4 races and we believe the deck that we've created is a small masterpiece. We hope you will appreciate it as much as we do! Given the ambition of this project, we are making the deck of a high quality, and planning to have it printed by the famous USPCC. It will be a limited edition deck. We are planning to make 2 colors of decks, the dark and the light, consisting of 52 standard playing cards.

Our lead artist Oleg Shapkin used an original painting technique to create this deck. The images were drawn with watercolor pencils and clarified with gouache titanium dioxide pigments. The artist had drawn all of the smallest details, ornaments, letters, suits and symbols by hand and only after that the designer continued the work.
