Some kind of milestone
Jun. 19th, 2007 10:26 pmAs of today, I have made a complete tarot deck. 78 cards, +1 non-standard card ("fried chicken"), and room for 2 more non-standard cards (one of which has to be "the red bone" or maybe "the winged pig" -- something specific to the venue where the deck began. I'm not sure what the third one should be.)
Sure, the image area per card was pretty small,
and it's entirely done in magic markers,
and the cards reinterpreted enough to feature a Surly Pink Bunny on each one,
but it's a complete deck.
I have a Reznorian Tarot (circa, uh, 1995?) of just major arcana. The infinite halo tarot currently has 15 completed cards, progressing at 2 cards a year, so... that's, er, 30 more years.
I hope this helped. Sure it's Bunnies, but, now I've had to think about every card, and recreate it on any level. May this speed up production of the "serious" deck.
Now, I need to (borrow or buy a scanner in order to) scan everything in, clean it up in post, and maybe look for a publisher.
