Hey everybody, I thought I'd start off the new year with trying my hand at managing a collaboration for the first time. I was having a chat with a few of my fellow art friends in a twitter space and I was sitting on this idea for a collaboration for a few months and I finally thought it's time to bring it into reality so without further ado....
!!! I AM OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCING THE NEWGROUNDS TAROT ART COLLABORATION!!!
How it works: Each artist will have 1 card out of the 22 Major arcana to make into a Newgrounds themed tarot card with a character that they think symbolizes said card the best. Please DM me here on NG if you want in on this, I shall look through your portfolio here on Newgrounds and I'll let you know if you have been accepted. I will then add you to the discord server which has the google document linked, and I will add your NG handle, the card, the character and the current status of said card to the document. We are hoping to have exactly 22 artists for the full Major Arcana deck.
In the discord server there's the dimensions, font and border template for the card.
I would like to make sure that no single NG franchise takes over the entire deck so the maximum is 2 cards per franchise, please.
When's the Deadline?: February 20th 1159:pm GMT+8. So a month and a couple weeks, which I hope will give our artists plenty of time. We will then have all the cards made and put into our file to give to our programmer....
Who's our programmer?: The one and the only *drum roll* @Stepford! They were kind enough to lend their time and services to helping me with this collaboration and I am forever grateful to have them on board, they're gonna showcase their programming prowess and wizardry for this collaboration.
What's a Major Arcana?: In a deck of 78 tarot cards, there's the Minor Arcana which is comprised of 56 cards split into 4 suits (Cups, Wands, Pentacles, and Swords). And then there's the Major Arcana, which are the trump cards (For example: The Fool, The Magician, The Devil, Death, Justice, etc.) I've decided that I wanted to stick with the Major Arcana to make things easier for my fellow potential collaborators on this project.
Why Tarot Cards?: I've always had a fascination with stuff like this, my Mother is considered quite spiritual I got my love of this kind of stuff from her at a very young age. Plus, I wanted to do something cool for the community by bringing a bunch of artists together for a fun little project.
I hope I've answered all your questions, but please feel free to ask me any further questions in regards to this collaboration and I'm more than happy to elaborate to the best of my ability.
Best of wishes to those who are interested and thank you for taking the time to read through this -

I am such a sucker for tarot cards, and I'd love to participate (spent a year making Hollow Knight Major Arcana and what not), but I have a huge backlog of commissions! ?
