True Love

No, I really pulled this card for tonight's entry. As you might've guessed, the more time I spend on this project, the more I discover what works and what doesn't. After the last update, I decided to do some planning. I made a list of the easiest cards and the more difficult ones and will work on the cards in this order. This has definitely sped things up.

The only issues I've run into lately are line thickness and having the artwork stay balanced throughout the deck. Some symbols appear thicker than others (curiosity). Again, this worried me and I thought I wouldn't be able to figure out a solution. I am also happy to say this issue needed some time, and I found a way to get around this unevenness (gosh, what one learns in the world of digital art).

So far, I have made improvements to four cards, and, again, these are rated 1-2 on a scale of 1-4. I have also been working on the Life Areas card, which is having some thinness issues (as opposed to the symbols being too thick). I will be excited to unveil the new look at the reader's forums once I can get a certain amount of symbols done.

In addition to this update, I have created a progress bar (see above). I will keep it more accurately updated in the future.

As always, my helpers continue to give valuable feedback, and I have been able to think about the cards in new ways and modify them. There are still some gaps in getting the most information out of this deck at times. However, the P.O. is beginning to show it's personality, tending towards a literal one. I think, really, it depends on who is doing the reading.

In any case, I plan to be back with major updates. Until then, please stay tuned and thank you for reading!!
