yay! my deck has new fans...how cool is that?
Ok...all you new fans of the Midnight Masquerade have a very important job to do...(ah...you didn't think I would put you to work, did ya?
)
You all have to periodically remind me...OK NAG me if you have to...to get these cards finished!
I have set up a tentative deadline...but I'm never very good at keeping to these things on my own...so please keep reminding me that you want to have a deck in your hands...and I might actually finish this huge undertaking!
*to Ravenswing... Don't worry...there will be no border! (especially if Gardener is helping me publish these!) There might be a tiny thin black border just to make sure that they are cut correctly.
And you said somrthing that sparked my imagination...when you suggested a ballroom spread. Because, of course I have a floorplan/map where all these scenes take place...and I have been thinking about how great it would be to create a spread just for this party! ooh...and a spread that deals with the time as well...since something magical happens at midnight..
Youv'e got me thinking...
*To cocobird55...I love to paint parrots...and macaws, and all birds actually! I have painted a few parrots before on various wall murals. You are the expert...and thanks for the compliment! I am glad I got it right!
*To Gardener...your'e on, girl! When I am ready to publish I am seeking you out! (wherever you happen to be at the time!!) Maybe we will meet somewhere in the middle of the country...or maybe somewhere exotic!
You know...I never thought of the idea of giving those who have the limited edition of the Majors...a deal on the Minors. That is pretty brilliant!
*To Astra...Temperance has become my least favorite card so far. Part of the reason was her expression was so strange...so I have repainted it several times...and It STILL looks strange!
I am thinking however, that it looks better in closeup...so I scanned it in so all can see it better. I think I wanted her to look like she was concentrating...but she keeps making that sour face at me every single time I repaint it!
So I am leaving it be for now....although the image may not be entirely safe from a complete overhaul in the near future.
I'm just not sure she is colorfulk enough to compete with the other partgoers.
Then again...it's not really a competition (at least not for the Majors!)
I hope to have two more cards by next week...hmmm...maybe my untraditional interpretations of the Tower and the Wheel of Fortune...
We'll see how the week goes!
Thanks everyone for your continual encouragement!
