I believe all of you have already enjoyed a selection of illustrations called "The Seven Deadly Sins" for a long time. Well, yes, these pictures have been traveling on the Internet for a long time. The series of 9 living and dead playing cards "Life & Death Cards", created by a Hungarian artist named Kornell Ravadits, is not that popular. But it can become it at any moment. Yes, even today!
Cornell Ravaditz is known as a talented 3D artist, a master of volumetric images on rather unusual topics. Earlier, Cornell was an adherent of classical painting, but over time he began to combine paints and brushes with computer graphics and other high-tech technologies. As the artist himself says, if before computers and animation were his hobbies, now it is not only a hobby for him, but also bread, butter, and milk. The "Life & Death Cards" card set was released back in 2007-2008, but for some reason, I have not yet found wide distribution on the Internet. I don't think the reason is the extreme gloom of the images. However, see for yourself.
In fact, not all of Kornell Ravadits' writings carry this dark philosophical mood. He has a lot of almost light, almost warm, almost kind paintings. And all these works can be seen in the gallery of the Hungarian artist on the GraphiteLight website.

Give me some cards in hand An overview of the stunning constructions of playing cards
Constructions made of playing cards are so fragile and unreliable that the catch phrase "crumbled like a house of cards" has long been used when it is necessary to point out the fragility of any ideas, hopes and expectations. However, each of us, at least once in his life, tried to build a turret or two out of kings, ladies and jackets.
