[Elnor]

Major Tom-
I would like to try to put something together- how many pixels per inch (or mm?) does it need to be? Or is that important?

Thanks for your interest in joining in the competition.

2. Original designs must be A4 size, that is, 210X297mm or 805X1170 pixels for electronically produced work as a minimum. Larger works may be submitted for reduction to A4 size.

You might like to read all the rules in my opening post.

It symbolizes a joining and blending of the elements. Everything there is represented. Fire, water, air and earth.

It's a photo collage taken useing 3 pictures. One being a volcano with water at its foot, one of some trees, and another of fire. Then I blended them together, modified the color in some parts and there ya go. All that was left was shrink it to the size it needed to be and add text.

I love it! Such energy and emotion in it! WOW!

Many apologies, but I've only just realised I hadn't really understood your question and therefore didn't give the right answer. That'll teach me for being a smartass.

As this is for print, a minimum 300 pixels per inch. I didn't even think less than that could fill 805x1170mm, but of course they can - just not for print. *slaps forehead*

I'm still learning stuff every day.

 

[Major Tom]

There's still loads of time for anyone else who wants to join in - 17 whole days.

I would especially like to encourage anyone who feels they have not got any artistic talent whatsoever. It's my firm belief that everyone has artistic talent unique to themselves. This is a great chance to come and share your unique talent as part of a supportive community.

I would also like to encourage everyone who had entered before but not been selected. We've seen some pretty amazing things from you.

Hey, I'll enter. While I was recently moving my studio, I came across some unpublished tarot art. They were created before I worked on the Goddess Tarot. I was puzzling over what to do with them, and then I came across your thread.

My calendar cover entry can be viewed here:

The central cover image is an oil painting that originated from a drawing I did when I lived in England some years ago. It depicts the High Priestess -- the sleeping lion at her feet is meant to prefigure the lion that appears in Strength later in the deck. In the cover design, I incorporated some Renaissance alchemy seals that I've become fascinated with.
