The Wheel of Fortune tarot card from the Last Call deck
Wheel of Fortune

Destiny/Doom.  Nothing like setting the bar high with a Major Arcana card!  Talk about lots of fiddily little levels and planes.  Yes, I nearly went blind doing the texture work on this one, but I also knew that it would be worth it in the long run.  Ideally, I'd like the Minor Arcana cards to have just as much detail as the Major Arcana, if not more.

I've noticed that Tarot Decks tend to slide in artistic quality for the lower level suits, and this is a shame because the chance of a Major Arcana card appearing in a reading is less than a Minor Arcana card.  This means that when you're getting your fortune read, it's easy to wait in anticipation for Major cards and just gloss over the Minor.  Well that stops with this deck!  Every card will have something special to them!  The Wheel of Fortune insisted on being a showstopper though.  I'm admiring it while I rub the cramps out of my fingers!

Kickstarter Launched!

The splashpage for the Last Call tarot deck kickstarter campaign

I just couldn't wait any longer, so the Kickstarter campaign is launched!  Fingers crossed, but it looks like the Last Call deck will become a reality!

This is a first for me.  I love the Kickstarter concept and I love making cards.  The two things are being brought together and I couldn't be happier.  For anyone who hasn't done a Kickstarter, I encourage you to give it a shot.  The site is designed for simplicity so you can focus on your project instead of marketing.  How cool is that?

And we've already found backers!  Thank you guys!  You are awesome!
