Crowdsource Tarot -- art check in

[beetiger]

Hey there! When we first put out the Crowdsource Tarot back in June, there was a decent amount of interest in people doing art for the project, but we haven't actually ended up with much new art beyond the early submissions.

Crowdsource Tarot, is, in fact, a community project. We'd love to include anyone who would like to participate!

Anybody working on anything/want to work on anything? We'll put your work on the art page with a credit, a link to your portfolio, and many many piles of thanks and appreciation.

In any case, here, have a reading.

I have used the deck quite a lot since its introduction, and it has been very helpful.

I'm really glad to hear that! It does seem to want to be used...

Sent you new card art at the email listed on the site. Hope you like. :)

I've been thinking of contributing, I just haven't felt secure enough with an idea that I would want to share yet.

We'd love to have you do something! Feel free to drop me a private note and we can brainstorm about what might work best for your style.

Funny this should come up ...

One of the projects I've been doodling on is a "Emoticon Tarot." (Thanks to bookwurm for the idea.) It is, in fact, rather silly and I don't know if that's quite the feel you want for this project.

Of course since the Crowdsource Tarot isn't the standard Tarot deck, I could make a creation specifically for your project, although I have to warn you that it would likely still be at least somewhat silly.

If this is acceptable, contact me at my gmail address and we can figure something out.

Sure. The feel of the Crowdsource Tarot is playful and slightly obnoxious. Somewhat silly art should work fine! I'll drop you a line off-LJ.

i'm not much of an artist... just wanted to let you know that I really like this whole idea and I've enjoyed using it. :)

Sorry, slipped my mind. It's all over the place these days..

I'd wanted to do an illustration of the "Ferret" card, and wound up hunting down dozens of ferret reference pics, sketching bunches of ferrets, and eventually getting a sketch that was mostly right.

Then I realized it was a horizontal design and cards are vertical, and I also had no idea what to put in the background, and I pretty much gave up there. v.v

[beetiger.livejournal.com]

Aww. If you ever decide to finish it up, even if it is horizontal, we could put it on the site. It's mostly for people to enjoy, I suspect we won't actually get to an officially printed deck. (Though who knows!)

Fret! Did you get my email? Did you see Cat? Did you look at my gallery and thought about what kind of things you might like to see me do? Fret!

[beetiger.livejournal.com]

Sorry to make you fret! I saw it and liked it, am mostly offline the next few days with perosnal stuff, more feedback Monday or so!

Oh, good. I'm starting to think I might be getting eaten by spam filters lately...
