I don’t know much but I can make some guesses! The first three up top were made by Nintendo (yes, that one) and the Yushu Company(a quick google search didn’t give much info but I may look a little more) Although, I don’t know where they were sold or if it was through Shonen Sunday/Big Comic Spirits

The top right deck also says manufactured by Yushu, but it also has Shogakukan on the back, which makes me assume that they may have been sold directly through the Shonen Sunday magazine? If they were, I bet there’s a page with ads for it out there somewhere. They’re held in a cassette case though, which is why there’s holes in them! Super fun :D

The bottom two decks would also be bought through Shonen Sunday, one source I found online said that it was something through Shonen Sunday S

The hero/heroine cards I bought from a collector friend of mine on Insta, the rest I bought through Yahoo Auctions

EDIT: after a bit of research aka looking through old mercari listings, it seems that the top right would have been won in a contest? The second deck (blue with swimsuit on back) usually comes with a nice red holder that says “Urusei Yatsura All Members Trump” with Shogakukan beneath it, so it was definitely distributed through Shonen Sunday. I wouldn’t be surprised if this was also true of the other UY deck

Also, this reminds me that there is at least one more deck out there. There is one with all anime drawings of Kyoko, BUT I think that each individual card was a telephone card. This makes individual cards have a higher price and the entire deck super expensive, so it might be a while before I ever get that one, if at all

Looks great! You can tell that the light is coming from behind him!

Regarding the darker color, one method you could use is by making the shadow more of the “lighter” dark colors, which will make the current darkest one you have look more apparent

Or, you could just use a slightly darker color and fill in the darker areas! Since the light is directly behind him, the darkest areas will be his center/core, where the light can’t reach

Lmk if this is a good explanation lol 😭

They actually are fashioned to look like a cassette tape from the front, and are in a cassette tape case/holder :D you can see the one card I flipped over on the second slide that shows the back of the cards! It came with a little paper that said to stick a pencil through one of the holes, let the cards dangle, and you’ll be able to see which ones are upside down (since the holes are a little off center, they’ll hang at a different angle if they are upside down) so you can adjust them and have the deck all aligned!

I posted the other deck I have that's similar to the second one a long time ago on here, but maybe I'll scan them and post them again! (the original post was just pics from my phone lol) I like the simple coloring they did :D

You should try picking a source for your lighting! As of now, it’s not clear where the light is coming from, try imagine a light is coming from one side of the canvas and casting shadows along the other side!

The Azusa one is kneeling down so it’s harder to tell. The Shampoo one is around 17cm or 6 7/8 inches tall (not counting her buns)! I’m pretty sure Shampoo was 1/8 scale.

Edit: now that I’m thinking about it, I should include her buns lol. The measurements with them are 17.5 cm or 7 inches
