Actually, Andrew Graham did the photoshop work on this pic. I lack the photoshop skills needed to do more than minor tweaks.

Ende, that is downright beautiful. Excuse me while I pick my eyes back up...

Trevor, I like Silver as the Two of Swords! It looks like a classic Tarot image, simple and evocative.

very nice job on both pics... It's great to know that these are being done with teamwork

very nice job Ende... I love how she came out, there's such emotion in the pic... and good job on drawing the 2sword pic, Jester...

But this couldn't have come out more spiffy without you, Elsa... These cards images do have the terrot quality to them... and I can't wait to see the other 54

btw, thankz andrew too for the photoshop work on the pics it, as I said, takes true teamwork to come up with these wonderful pics...

Jester: I am sorry about making modifications to the pic you sent. I was trying to keep my enhancements simple without altering the form of the image.

And if I had a scanner I'd show you what real crappy drawing looks like.

Quadis: Jester colored the pic, I just used some photoshop filters to add texture to it. (fur filter for her fur, clouds and constellation filters for the sky, a lens flare at the end of the sword, the texturizer sandstone for the ground, chrome effects on the swords and a transparent blue chrome filter for the water.) I wanted to leave the image as close to the original as I could while still providing some minimal enhancement to it.)

XD he did? crap, this is why you should put down everything the artist does under the pic.. not just 'he drew' it... =P

even so, the pic rules without color... ^^` rules with color... but without color, the True image of the pic rules because youz got drawing talent...

oO on another note... what do you mean by 'modify'... you mean just add texture and a bg?

btw, Ende! your pic still rules too! ^^` we haven't forgotten about it! =]

=D so what I'm trying to get at... is that EVERYONE is doing a great job in this terrotcard project you all rule....

Here are the original pieces I recieved from Ende and Jester. I should have posted them earlier to be fair to the artists that made them. I apologize for the oversight. I meant no slight to the artists on this project by altering their work.

Given that I'm not seeing a lot of movement on this project, I'm throwing open the Minor Arcana to all dream artists. The four artist volunteers have been great but they all have lives and projects of their own that demand their time and efforts.

Guidelines:

1. Make sure to secure the permission of any avatar that isn't yours.
2. No more than one of your avatars per artist. (which is to say you can draw your own characters for one card, but any others you do should have someone else's avatar. We're trying for diversity here.)
3. Images are to be in 2:1 height:width ratio. as close to 800 x 1600 pixels as you can manage if possible.
4. The only text on the image should be a small artist signature if any. All artists will be given due credit elsewhere as well. Card titles and such will be applied by me using the established border.
5. Also there should be no thick borders to the image. I will be adding a border, any other would be redundant.
6. If you use JPG format, please select a high quality, low compression setting. If you cannot change the compression setting then use a lossless format like PNG, GIF, or TIF. A high compression JPG has visual artifacts that are a serious pain to get rid of.
7. Any B&W images will be colorized. Images may be subject to some photoshop postworking, but I will endeavor to make sure that such postworking meets with the artist's approval before posting.
8. There is no money to be made at this. I have no way of printing these decks that isn't hideously expensive, either in terms of an initial outlay for 25 decks, or for on demand printing. I will only charge enough for the decks to break even on my own cost, assuming I can manage to sell them at all. Much as I'd love to pay artists for working on this, I'm not making a thing either.
9. This thread will have a list of all completed cards. Please make sure you aren't duplicating a card already done.

Just for quick reference, could we also have a list of which avatars have already been used?

Also, to ensure we don't have mass chaos, if you do intend to draw up a card for this project, please make a notification here so that we don't end up with several artists doing the same card.
