What happens when a creator has a genuinely good idea and the right people around them to help bring it to life?
Ninjon’s Deck of Many Colors has now sold over 13,500 units, with nearly half of those sales happening in the first 40 days alone. What began as a tool for miniature painters looking for more confidence with colour quickly grew into something far bigger: a physical reference deck for illustrators, tattoo artists, graphic designers, and people working across all kinds of visual art.
The project moved from concept to production remarkably quickly, made possible by a collaborative process between Jon and our in-house Product team. As Jon explained in his interview with Net Influencer: “I partnered with Ziggurat and they have been amazing partners for me. I feel like it's possible I could have made this by myself. It would have taken me a decade. And I don't think that it would be as good as it is in just 18 months with the help of Ziggurat.”
Every part of the deck was approached with care, from the collectible foil treatments and tactile finishes to the decision to feature only artwork created by real artists, with no AI-generated imagery used anywhere in the product.
Two new decks are already in development, continuing the fantasy/sci-fi split of the first releases while pushing into darker, grittier, slightly horror-inspired territory.
Jon describes the experience: “To have created something new that didn't exist before is a wonderful thing. People shouldn't be afraid to challenge themselves and be creatively ambitious, because more often than not, others will see value in what you're trying to achieve.”
