Quick Update

The box and oracle cloth are in production. I'm finishing the book, and the cards need a few minor finishing touches before they go into production. I still hope to have everything in hand by the end of September or early October so I can start shipping out in October. So far, everything is still on schedule to start shipping in October as long as there are no unforeseen hiccups (which can happen), and as we get closer to the holiday season, there always seems to be something that pops up, but for now, we're doing good. We ran into an issue with the printer for the prints, but it's something that's fixable; we just have to shuffle a few things around to make it work. Other than that, everything is moving right along!

Okay, so the votes were so close, but #1 was the winner! A few of you said the white in the wings was a bit much, so we reworked it again and will now have one more round of voting. There are only two choices this time, and then it's off to the factory for these.
Sorry for lack of updates & new tarot cloth designs

Sorry for the lack of updates. One of my emails was hacked, and from there, they were able to get into other accounts. Sadly, they got into one of my Instagram accounts and changed the email, so I can't recover that account. But other than that, it looks like I've secured everything else. If you get a weird email from [email protected] please let me know. This was my FaceBook e-mail, so they are trying to get to everything linked to FaceBook (that includes Kickstarter), so I'm having to go to every account and change the email.
As for the deck, I'm writing away on the book! Thank you all for the offer to proofread the book for me. I'll be reaching out to people via Kickstarter messages to help with that. I need to copy the book over to something like a Google Doc that is editable for the people proofreading it.
Once the book is done, that will be the final step. The box and cards are done and are on their way to the publisher!
I took everyone's opinion on the altar cloth and made some changes. With the worry about the dragon's white cracking over time, so we came up with a few options. Also, we tried the idea of having the dragon in the corners rather than in the middle.
Please vote for the one you like best! Numbers are in the upper left corner of each image.
Just checking in

Not much to update. I'm just chugging along on the book now that all the artwork is finished. Also working on the layout of everything.
Oh, does anyone want to be a proofreader for the book? While I have grammar and spell check, I'm very dyslexic, so I have a hard time when it comes to writing. This will be the first book I've ever written; even though it's a mini guidebook, I still want it to be perfect.
In other news, I've posted a couple of new videos on YouTube and I am trying out a new format of doing voice-overs explaining how I paint something digitally. I'll also be working on the same type of video for my acrylic paintings. Feel free to check them out here.
I hope everyone has a great Mother's Day. To any of those whose mothers are no longer with them, know you are loved and can still celebrate in any way you want.
Guide book interior artwork

As a bonus, I wanted to add some small pieces of artwork inside the 4" x 6" sized guidebook. All decks come with the small guidebook, but only Collectors Editions will get the "Dragon in a Crystal Cave" as a print. There will be one other bonus print that will be a surprise and will be available only for the Collector's Editions.
I also read all the feedback about the tarot cloth and will be posting more images soon. We'll have a round 2 on the tarot cloth!
I'm still waiting for five people to fill out their surveys. I have contacted those five on Kickstarter, so please check your messages. If you have any issues with the survey, let me know. Also, if you would like to change images on your products to any of the new nine dragons, just send me a message, and I'll make a note about it. I couldn't figure out how to add more options after the surveys were sent. And remember, if you backed for any of the nine cards, you get those as prints for helping to unlock those cards!
