Eighth update: The Heirophant, Ace of Wands, 9 of Swords, Page of Pentacles [Feb. 20th, 2006|12:01 am]

4 cards tonight! There's another card that will have to be delayed for a few days - mostly due to technical difficulties related to time moving in one direction and needing to do paying work first. %)

EchoElizabeth sent in her third card this week, and Nasubionna contributed the Heirophant card. She also has a solo tarot deck project, which you can view here: (http://www.nasubionna.net/tarot). In addition, Matthew and KillerBeautiful submitted their first cards. Awesome job, everyone!

  • The Heirophant (Dumbledore) - Nasubionna ([info]nasubionna)
  • Ace of Wands (Magic Wand) - Matthew ([info]xmattx)
  • 9 of Swords (Professor Sinistra) - KillerBeautiful ([info]killerbeautiful)
  • Page of Pentacles (Hermione Granger) - EchoDlizabeth ([info]echoelizabeth

I'll list places to leave feedback with the cards. :)

AND ON TO THE CARDS! )

status update [Feb. 19th, 2006|08:26 am]

dracopottamus
- The cards that have been submitted as of this morning will be posted tonight.

- If I cannot find a new mod within a week, I will be forced to completely restructure the way I've been handling submissions, and probably move to once-a-month posts of finished cards. I won't close this, since too many people would be affected. :)

SEEKING NEW MOD [Feb. 18th, 2006|03:59 pm]

dracopottamus
I have to give up LJ for the forseeable future, and all of my communities are going up for adoption. This one, too.

Basically, you'd have to act much as an art director does. The new mod would have to show a high* level of proficiency in Photoshop, a high* level of proficiency in typography, know what a kern is, be reasonably polite, be capable of enforcing project requirements, and capable of resolving a dispute without turning it into a full-on flamewar. So far, I've been accepting any level of ability from illustrators so long as the applicant isn't off in left field with their subject, and they're willing to get a drawing done sometime during a two-month timeframe. I can provide the card templates and fonts, and bring the new mod up to speed on what's what.

*I have to be able to believe that a moderately okay GD firm would consider hiring you.

This offer is not open to anyone who's missed their deadline for this community. (If you used your extension and got it in before your extension ended, you are eligible.)

My apologies for not posting the last update yet...I got tied up with some technical difficulties with one of the cards instead of just finishing the other ones and going from there.

Anyway. Next weekend should be better. :)

The following cards were not completed before their deadline and are now available: Strength, The Devil, Justice, 7 of Cups, Page of Cups, 6 of Wands, and King of Wands. Signups: (http://www.livejournal.com/community/hp_tarot_deck/371.html).

Quick card status announcement [Feb. 6th, 2006|02:54 pm]

dracopottamus
OK, I just went through all the comments on the sign up post, and what I THINK happened is that someone requested Ron as the Knight of Swords and then deleted their request.

So the Knight of Swords card is open if anyone wants to grab it. :)

OH OH OH I almost forgot: I just made a status bar for the userinfo, if anyone wants to check the progress of the deck: (http://community.livejournal.com/hp_tarot_deck/profile).

ETA: 9 of Wands is also back on the "available" list.

ETA #2: Ditto for Wheel of Fortune.

Seventh Update: 9 cards. Major arcana, Wands, Swords, Pentacles. [Feb. 4th, 2006|10:47 pm]

We now have 101 watchers! *tosses confetti*

And we have 9 cards to release today - our biggest post yet! How exciting!

I've run out of interesting ways to say that someone illustrated a card, so I'm going to start listing them in a listy thing. Before we get to that, though, I'd like to give some special recognition to [info]roonil_wazlib80, who drew 2 cards for this update, and for [info]echoelizabeth and [info]recombinantdna, who both have their second cards in this update. Awesome work, guys! And thank you to everyone who contributed to this update.

I'll list places to leave feedback with the cards. :)

AND ON TO THE CARDS! )

Quickie [Feb. 3rd, 2006|10:34 pm]

If you're waiting for me to get back to you with something, I've caught up on all the sign ups, but I'm a little paranoid I missed a finished card somewhere.

If you haven't heard back from me about a finished card, could you let me know?

Ah, OK, I also remembered that someone wanted Ron as the Knight of Swords. My eyes are starting to cross, so I'm going to track that down later. Consider that subject nabbed, though.

Rules clarifications, &c. [Feb. 3rd, 2006|08:54 pm]

dracopottamus
OK, I've been going through the latest round of submissions, and I'm starting to have to deal with the issues of Extensions and Missed Deadlines, and I thought writing things down would be a bit of a help. :)


You can have ONE one-week extension once for one card no matter how many cards you do.

- You can claim this at will, but use it wisely. You only get one, even if you end up doing several cards.


Additionally, I'd like to reward the people that have been courteous enough to tell me that there's a problem before their art comes due, so I am going to make the rules more lenient for them. This will apply to those who have already contacted me as well as those who contact me in the future.

If you contact me about not making your deadline before your piece is due (the day of counts)


- Your suspension period will be reduced to two months, not four. It will start from the date you give up your piece, not your due date. This is because the cards are going much faster than I thought they would, and a four-month suspension could prevent you from ever signing up a second time.
- If you complete your piece during your suspension period AND that particular card remains unclaimed, you may turn it in and have it marked as completed. (If someone has claimed your card in the meantime, you won't be able to do this). You will still have to wait until your suspension is up to claim a new one.

For example: imagine your due date is 8 March, and you tell me on 5 March that you won't make it. Your suspension period ends on 5 May. Then on 2 April, you get some free time and finish your card. When you check the comm, you see your card's still up for grabs and you turn it in. Your suspension period still ends on 5 May.


If you don't contact me about not making your deadline before your piece is due

- I'm not going to make a scene or chase after you. I'm just going to add your card back to the "available" list.
- You will not be able to turn your art in during your suspension period. You'll have to risk the full 4-month wait.

For example: Your due date is 8 March, and it comes and goes without a peep from you. I put your card back on the available list, and your suspension ends on 8 July. If you finish your art on 2 April, I won't accept it. You will have to wait until 8 July to see if anyone took your card or not. Assuming that was the first deadline you missed, of course.


If you miss two deadlines:

- It's only fandom, and real life can strike at any time. However, life striking twice means you probably shouldn't be messing about with art challenges. :/ Sorry, but there it is.


(PS. It's been pointed out that this post sounds a little frustrated, but that's not you guys. It's leftover from something else. Sorry. :/ You guys are lovely. :-*)


(Son of PS: "suspension period" in not a phrase I used in the original rules, but I'm referring to the rule about not being able to sign up for a card for four months if you miss a deadline.)

Sixth update: The Lovers, The Sun, 2 of Swords, King of Swords, 8 of Wands [Jan. 24th, 2006|11:46 pm]

dracopottamus
[Tags|, , ]

First off, I have to say this is getting pretty exciting. As of this posting, 18 cards have been completed so far, and the deck is really starting to come together. It's really cool to see how different all the cards are from each other, and how that diversity of style is giving the deck a really unique feeling.

It's been a little while since the last update, and there are five new cards. (Note: EEEEEE!) [info]mayflo contributed The Lovers, [info]jtptan illustrated The Sun, [info]tradegy_solace sent in the 2 of Swords, [info]shikatanai drew the King of Swords, and [info]vixyish made the 8 of Wands. Thanks to all of them: they did great jobs!

Finally, I just need to make a couple of quick administrative notes before we get to the cards. The Page of Pentacles is back on the list of available cards, and I reorganized the sign-up post to make it easier to read.

AND ON TO THE CARDS! )

If you're waiting for me to get back to you with something on the sign up post, I'm caught up as of this posting. :)

I had been planning on doing the new cards and catching up the requests this weekend, but A Thing came up for work. If you're here to make a request for an open card, just check the open requests first. If someone's already asked for it, they're going to get dibs, even if I think their proposal needs tweaking. Also keep in mind that I won't take duplicate subjects in the Major Arcana (except for Voldemort and Harry, since that's the central journey of the books), and I'm strenuously avoiding duplicates in the Court cards. :*

Anyway, it looks like the next update will be Tuesday at the earliest.

In other news, the first rolling due dates are coming. If you can't make your deadline, just let me know. :)

Fourth Update: Chariot, 4 of Wands, Knight of Pentacles [Dec. 30th, 2005|10:09 pm]

Sorry about the sporadic nature of my modding lately. Now that the holidays are just about over, things should straighten out around here. :)

Three cards to share with you this update! :D [info]xenokattz sent in some art for the Star, but it seemed more like a Chariot drawing to me, so it got reassigned. THIS MEANS: The Star is open for sign ups again. She also sent it in ages ago, I just took a while to straighten things out. In addition, [info]shikatanai drew the 4 of Wands, and [info]narumo contributed the Knight of Pentacles.

Due to the upcoming holiday, there will be no weekend updates for the next two weeks. To make up for that, I will make a post on either Tuesday or Wednesday.

Three cards to share with you this week! :D [info]asyndeta (again! :D) contributed the Judgement card. [info]recombinantdna sent in the 5 of Cups, and [info]delenn_xi drew the Ten of Pentacles.

([info]xenokattz, I'm still trying to work that out. I'LL POST YOURS NEXT TIME NO MATTER WHAT. Promise. :-*)

Check your requests [Dec. 14th, 2005|10:09 pm]

dracopottamus
Since LJ is still being sporadic about comment notifications, this is just a reminder to check your request! I've responded to all outstanding requests as of this post.

Also, if you've received a comment that says your due date is 14 Feb, make it the 15th. I had a bit of forgetfulness there. (Whoops!)

Finally, if you were an artist featured in the last post, you have some feedback waiting for you! :D :D :D

Yay! Our second weekly update is upon us, and we have FIVE cards to share with all of you. :D Extra-huge thanks to [info]asyndeta for helping us cross off three cards: The High Priestess, the 3 of Cups, and the 5 of Wands. [info]corvidae9 deserves huge glompy hugs for her Moon card, and [info]waccawheels gets a big thank you for the Knight of Wands.

[info]xenokattz also contributed some art, but I will need to straighten something out before I can post it. However, she still deserves a huge thank you, even if I'm a bit of a mess. :D

AND ON TO THE CARDS! )

To Everyone Waiting For Approval:

I know you're there (whoa, where did you all come from?), but something came up and I can't go through the outstanding proposals until tonight. :-*

To Everyone Currently Working on Art:

Basically, I've settled on doing updates on Saturdays (with Sundays as a "rain date" of sorts). If you get your art in by Friday night of any given week, you should be that weekend's update. (Unless something weird happens like everyone turning in their art the same week. Then I might need to spread it out a bit. :])

[Current Mood | cheerful]

The first card is ready! :D Many thanks to [info]seviet for her art! The full-size version, if printed at 200 dpi, will give you a business-card sized card. You can print it out on cardstock and cut it out neatly now, or you can wait for the completion of the entire set and get the printable .pdf with proper bleeds. :)

Click the preview to download.

The original art is on artdungeon.net.

ETA: Yes, you may submit existing art, so long as it is appropriate to the card, and portrays an event reasonably based in canon. :)
