Happy New Years!

Hi all, I mentioned posting up more images of this deck and so here they are. :)

I also have good news. I was able to successfully submit the deck on Thursday night to the publisher. So I am crossing my fingers for a good print of my own personal copy.

During the month of January, I would like to spend more time testing out the new deck and working on the manual. I feel like I need to flesh this project out a bit more but hopefully in a reasonable amount of time to make it available to the public. In any case, please enjoy the pictures (you can also click on them to enlarge them a bit). Again, all questions and comments welcomed. :)

Please have a wonderful New Year and thanks again for staying updated.

Update

Hello followers,

I hope everyone is enjoying their holiday. I'm happy to say that all 53 images of the deck have been finalized! This is not including the 54th and final title card (I still have yet to create!).

The important part is that one of the toughest parts of creating a deck is behind me. However, now comes the difficult process of publication, which is proving to be a tricky business. The publisher I've gone with takes a specific image and resolution size, none of which my images match (I was expecting to make some adjustments). After spending about a day and a half working this out, I now have something that looks like it's going to print to the specified size of 2.75 x 2.75 inches. Yes, quite a small deck. The original was a little over 2.5 inches on each side. So this is a little larger than what I've been using in the forums.

I'm estimating it's going to take another week to a week and a half to get the reformatting done. With a possible job offer and school starting in another two weeks, I'm feeling the pressure, yet hoping to have a published copy in my hands by the end of January. If this is acceptable, I'm hoping to make the deck available by February or March. If not (sigh), I'm prepared to take a little bit of a longer journey and continue to make updates to this blog on that process. Either way, I'm hanging in there and just nervous.

I will be posting up more images of the deck, so please stay tuned for this! Happy holidays and thank you for staying updated!!

Hi all, I wanted to mention that I have a Facebook page. I will be uploading pictures of the creation process there and talking a bit more about this deck and other stuff of interest. All followers are welcome, friend, artist, or simply the curious.

More updates to come soon!

Happy Friday!

As I mentioned this week, there would be some finalized images of the deck going up, and so here they are. Yes, they have borders! This was a no-brainer for me. I personally thought they added a nice touch.

In any case, it has been a long road getting to this point with this deck, which is still not over. I have yet to finalize four and half more sets. The good news is that the cards in the last two sets will not need very much work. I have also been creating a table of contents for the manual, re-writing, and organizing information. I want to try to get this out at the same time the deck is published (if and when... *crosses fingers*).

I do not think having a meanings sheet is going to cut it, as images of this deck need to be seen and there wouldn't be room to give them good visibility.  In any case, I'll be hard at work trying to complete everything by the end of December or first week of January!
